Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 24, 2015 Page 9 feed that he could not promise it would be built, but assured that it would be looked at to determine if that enhancement would improve that entire area. Councilmember Etten spoke in support of that option, opining it would make a big difference not only to Roseville residents, but for the transportation in the broader region. In that same presentation referenced by Councilmember Etten, Councilmember McGehee noted improvements to the sound wall had been discussed at the en- trance into Roseville on the split with highway 36 and I-35E; and asked if that would be reviewed as part of this project as well. Since the sound wall referenced by Councilmember McGehee was in the TH-36 area south of County Road C, Mr. Adams clarified that this project's limits were at County Road C but not further south, and therefore those sound walls would not be part of this project. However, Mr. Adams noted that he expected they may be considered as part of a future project dealing with lanes interchanging with Highway 280 and TH 36 and the sound wall immediately adjacent to that section. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Adams confirmed that MnDOT is evaluating a future potential MNPass project on eastbound only TH 36 due to its lack of com- plication to facilitate from TH 36 leaving I-35W east to I-35E. Mr. Adams ad- vised that the project was in the very preliminary scoping process at this time, meaning it had no funding identified or any had construction date, but was defi- nitely something being looked at. Mr. Adams clarified that the intent was to stay out of the common areas (e.g. TH 36 and Highway 280) as there was nothing identified or reworking in this area; but the long-range goal was to get a MNPass system all the way into Downtown Minneapolis and onto TH 36 through using baby steps if necessary. If that segment could be started, Mr. Adams opined that it would put subsequent pressure on the TH 36 interchange to accomplish the en- tire segment, since performing the physical work often prompted that scenario. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Adams agreed to send a copy of his power point presentation to staff for dissemination to the City Council. Mayor Roe thanked Mr. Adams for tonight's presentation. Recess Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 7:02 p.m., and reconvened at approximately 7:05 p.m. b. Joint Meeting with Community Engagement Commission (CEC) Mayor Roe welcomed the full commission and turned it over to CEC Chair Scot Becker for introduction of commissioners present: Chair Becker, Theresa Gardella, Gary Grefenberg, Michelle Manke, Jonathan Miller, Sherry Sanders, EbonyAdedayo.
