<br /> Member Wilke asked about Fairview, south of County Road C. Bloom <br />said that the City met with the neighborhood about a year ago with a <br />proposal to punch an access from Fry Street to C. The neighborhood was <br />overwhelmingly against that plan. The Oakcrest realignment was also <br />discussed, but it didn’t receive any support. <br /> <br />6. Twin Lakes Road Alignment <br /> <br /> Deb Bloom updated the Commission on this area. The redevelopment <br />area has been around since the mid-80’s. Roseville Properties is currently <br />working with the City Council on a plan for retail, restaurants and high- <br />density housing. A new road would be constructed through the <br />development, which would provide stress relief for County Road C. <br />Traffic projections for this redevelopment are 25,000 vehicles per day. <br /> <br /> Wilke asked about problems with the current occupants. Bloom said that <br />there are problems with the site, such as contaminated soil. There are <br />monitoring wells there now, and grants have been applied for to clean up <br />the site. <br /> <br /> <br />7.Selecting Projects for Federal Funding Solicitation Process <br /> <br /> Deb Bloom presented information on this topic. The Metropolitan <br />Council puts out information to cities biannually for applying for federal <br />funding. They are in three different areas: surface transportation, <br />transportation enhancement program, and air quality. The Public Works <br />Commission needs to review and discuss options and give direction to the <br />Council as to what funding and projects should be applied for. Two <br />possible projects are the ramp reconfiguration for Twin Lakes Parkway <br />and the intersection of County Road B and Snelling. The deadline for <br />application is August 30. <br /> <br /> Member Wilke suggested a possible project as Rice Street and Hwy 36 <br />where County Road B comes in on the south side but wondered if it was <br />just a county and state concern. Bloom said the city always plays a part, <br />and this might be an area to consider. <br /> <br /> Member Wilke also suggested Hwy 88 and County Road D as a possible <br />project because of the traffic volume. <br /> <br /> Member Anderson asked about the intersection at Fairview and Hwy 36, <br />can we make improvements there. <br /> <br /> Staff will come back with more information later this summer. <br /> <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />
