However, burning wood can also bring harm- <br />ful side effects, including the release of particulate matter. <br />Here are some tips to burn responsibly: <br />• Only burn seasoned, dry wood —it will burn cleaner and <br />hotter, and produce less smoke. <br />• Avoid fires on these days: <br />• Poor air quality days —the release of addition- <br />al particulate matter can worsen air quality <br />• Windy (>10mph) days <br />• During periods of excessively dry weather <br />• Keep fire at least 25 feet away from a structure or com- <br />bustible material <br />Photo by Mahad Pomlr on Unspl ash <br />• Have a hose or fire extinguisher nearby <br />• Do not leave fires unattended until completely burned out <br />See ourwebsite about wood burning for more information, chapter 404 of Roseville <br />City Code, and check current air quality at the MPCA's website. <br />Highway 36 Multimodal Study <br />t'MIN <br />The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is conducting a <br />study of Highway 36 from Roseville to Maplewood, to better under- <br />stand the needs of people traversing north and south along roads <br />that intersect with the highway's exit and entrance ramps, especially <br />those who travel on foot, by bike, or via other mobility devices. <br />Many of us in Roseville frequently cross Hwy 36 (1 do at least twice a <br />day!), so we are a key part of who MnDOT wants to engage. There are two <br />opportunities to get involved during the first phase of the study: fill out the <br />Hwy 36 survey (this took me about 30-45 minutes to fill out —be prepared for short -answer <br />questions and a mapping tool), and/or attend one of two upcoming public meetings: <br />Tuesday, May 23, 4:30pm-6:30pm, Ramsey County Library, 2180 Hamline Ave N., Roseville <br />(stop in anytime during this time frame) <br />Wednesday, May 31, 12:00pm-1:00pm, Virtual (on Zoom) - Register here <br />Page 10 of 125 <br />
