Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Jinn LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />13111 B1esener <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />At the January 6, 2004 Little Canada Neighborhood Meeting a resident from the Twin Lake Area had <br />two questions about the Unweave the Weave project. The following information is provided in <br />response to those questions. <br />1) Question - A resident stated that the proposed roadway is to close to Twin Lake Trail and will <br />result in very steep slopes that will hard to maintain. <br />Response - Based on the attached cross sections for the project in the Twin Lake Trail area, <br />MNDOT is going to provide a 3:1 slope from the Noise wall that will end before our curb and <br />gutter on Twin Lake Trail. This slope should be easy to maintain and put vegetation on to <br />break up the view of the noise wall. <br />2) Question - A resident stated the trees between Twin Lake Trail and MNDOT's roadway <br />provide a pleasing view for the residents and should be saved. <br />Response — I drove the area and there are a tree located on both MNDOT's right -of -way and <br />City of Little Canada Twin Lake Trail right -of -way. The trees are mostly Russian Olive, <br />Cottonwood, and some kind of Black Berry with a mix of maybe 1 or 2 Maples. I believe the <br />tree quality is poor and should be replaced with an overall vegetation plan that will breakup the <br />noise wall. <br />1: \GregS \Proposed 1 694 &I 35E Project \Open 1 -louse Comments.doc - 4 - <br />
