Hanson <br />Bill Dircks <br />Sheila Kauppi <br />Dale Gade <br />Dave Herzog <br />Kathy Glanzer <br />The purpose of tonight's workshop meeting is to review the parameters <br />of the MnPASS Phase II workshop as well as any impacts to the City <br />from this project and outstanding issues related to other recent MN DOT <br />projects in Little Canada. <br />Dale Gade reported that MnPASS Phase II would extend along 35E from <br />the north side of Little Canada Road to County Road J. He described the <br />project in detail, noting that there would be minimal impacts within the <br />City of Little Canada. Those impacts would primarily consist of lane <br />restriping and MnPASS signage installation. Gade indicated that given <br />the additional capacity that the improvement would provide to 35E, there <br />will be the need to install additional sound walls in Little Canada. Gade <br />reported on the new voting process that is in place relative to sound walls <br />indicating that people will have the opportunity to vote out a sound wall. <br />The City Administrator noted that under the Phase I project, the Natures <br />Way property owners opted not to have a sound wall. He also explained <br />the history of the lack of a sound wall adjacent to the Quebec Apartments, <br />and indicated that the Phase II project will provide the opportunity for this <br />wall to be added back in. <br />
