At the cammission meeting in June, fihe overall design as propased by the <br />H�ghway Department was reviewed and discussedl with in}erest�l parties. <br />The current design suggests,as you recall, the recommended folded diamond <br />design at County Road C(as proposed by the Village earlier) anr! a diamond <br />intercha�geatHdmlineAvenue just north of the Village (imits. These <br />ent�rchanyes waufd then be connected by cantinuous frontage roads on either <br />side of Snelling Avenue wifih an overpass proposed at t,�dia, <br />2. Previous design considerations for the arer� of the highway in question included <br />an �nterchange at �ounty Raad C-2 �which would have fit into the normal <br />half-mil e grid thoroughfare p(an of the Vi I lag� of Rosevi I I e. You wi� ( recal l <br />the difficulties Pn accomplishing an interchar�ge at County Road C-2, however, <br />parti�cularly wifih respect to its effect on properties on the w�st side of Snelling <br />Av�nue, We nre also warned by th� Viling� Engineer and ofih�rs of the presence <br />of exfireme soil c�nditions o� the west side in the vicinity of the C�2 crossing. <br />The real problem however, with respect to an interchange at C-2 is the extremely <br />limited weaving distance between the ramps at County Road C and the peoposed <br />interchange at C-2. <br />3. The Planning Cammission has suggested that we consider a design which could <br />accompl ish an interchange somewhat equi-distant between the interchange at <br />C�ndHamlineAvenue. We have prepared overlays which indicate how this <br />might be caccomplished. These will be available for review at the Planning <br />Commission hearing, <br />
