1 of 1 <br />RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT <br />CORRIDORS OF COMMERCE PROJECTS <br /> <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the City of Little Canada has reviewed the Corridors of Commerce project list and <br />finds that two projects would have impacts within the City’s borders. A summary of those projects <br />is listed below: <br /> <br />• Hwy 36 - Construction of MnPASS managed lanes between I-35W and I-35E, in <br />both directions as identified in the MnPASS Phase 3 Study. <br /> <br />• Improvement of Hwy 36 between 35W to 35E. Expand Hwy 36 from 4 lanes to <br />6 lanes from 35W/Cleveland to 35E along median. 1) Reconfigure existing <br />“circle” ramp entrance from 35W/Cleveland south to increase speed of entering <br />traffic; 2) Fix drainage/flooding problem at 36/Fairview interchange (Up to 4 feet <br />of water during large events); 3) Provide auxilary lane for entering traffic from <br />Snelling to 36 interchange; use median to separate merging traffic from <br />Snelling Ave; 4) Provide longer taper for on ramps from Hamline in both EB and <br />WB directions instead of relying on aux exit lane for merging traffic; 5) shorten <br />Dale St entrance to WB 36, use for storm water mitigation; 6) rebuild rail bridge <br />over 36 just W of 35E – increase span length to accommodate a longer ramp <br />taper from 35E to SB entering 36 WB. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of <br />Little Canada supports the above listed projects. We understand that this support <br />does not replace any future municipal consent requirements. <br />ADOPTED THIS 28th DAY OF MARCH. 2018. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />___________________________ <br />John T.
