Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: August 23, 2016 Item No: 6 Item Description: 35W Managed Lane Project Background: The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is proposing a project along Interstate 35W that will add a Managed Lane in each direction from Trunk Highway 36 in Roseville to Anoka County State Aid Highway 17 (Lexington Ave) in Blaine. This project is tentatively scheduled for 2019, although MnDOT is working to accelerate this project for possible construction starting in 2018. A Managed Lane is a lane of traffic that will be limited to high occupancy vehicles (HOV) or transit vehicles as well as single occupancy vehicles that pay a fee to use that lane during certain times of the day based on congestion levels. The fee paid will vary based on the level of congestion. Managed Lanes are currently in operation on 1-394,1-35W south of downtown Minneapolis and I -35E north of St. Paul. The project will involve repaving the entire roadway section of I -35W including any ramps that have not been repaved as part of a recent project. The widening of the roadway will also require the construction of new bridges that currently extend over County Road C and Rosegate in the City of Roseville. A layout of the overall proposed project is available for viewing at the Public Works Department at the Roseville City Hall. An electronic version is also available for on-line viewing at MnDOT's Project Website located at: httn://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/nroiects/i35wroseville/index.html Included as attachments are clips of the overall layout showing: • The project area within the limits of the City of Roseville • Typical section of the widened I -35W Corridor • The area between County Road E2 and the 694 Interchange showing added auxiliary lanes to improve the overall operation of the interchange area Staff will make a brief presentation about the project and answer any questions the Commission may have. Recommended Action: Receive presentation. Attachments: A. 35W Managed Lane Project—Portions of Layout
