The purpose of the project is to improve highway and <br />transit performance on the I -35E corridor north of St. Paul. The project will construct a third lane in each <br />direction (northbound and southbound) between Goose Lake Rd and County Road 96, construct a third <br />lane for northbound 35E from County Road 96 to County Road J, repurpose the shoulders constructed in <br />the Goose Lake Project (SP 6281-25) for a third lane in each direction (northbound and southbound), <br />repurpose southbound 35E from just south of County Road E to Little Canada Road, and construct a noise <br />wall pending a noise analysis for benefiting receptors. MnDOT is seeking Municipal Consent from the <br />City of Little Canada on this project (see the enclosed layout). <br />MnDOT is paying for the construction of the project with no participation from the City of Little Canada. <br />The project is presently scheduled for a February 26, 2016 letting, with construction to begin in the <br />Spring of 2016 and planned to be completed in Fall of 2016. MnDOT needs to have consent prior to <br />letting and would appreciate receiving Municipal Consent from the City by early March 2015. MnDOT <br />will be available to participate in a public hearing regarding approval by the City, please contact me when <br />preparing for the public hearing so MnDOT representatives are available. <br />You may find information about the municipal consent process under subject guidance within our <br />Highway Project Development Process at: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/hpddp/scoping.html <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
