RESPOivst <br />1 An initial traffic simulation model was presented to Mn/DOT and the Anoka County Highway Department in <br />early December 2003. Additional traffic scenarios were requested and are being developed, reviewed, and <br />discussed at this time. <br />2 Due to the absence of County, State, and Federal funds for the full reconstruction of the Lake Drive /I -35W <br />interchange, the City has proposed interim improvements to address forecast traffic needs: The City is <br />actively pursuing additional funds for interim and long -term improvements. <br />3 Recognizing the incompatibility between residential development and highways, the site plan has been <br />prepared to include commercial structures adjacent to I -35W and Lake Drive, while the majority of residential <br />units have been centrally located on the site. <br />Minnesota Depattmentof Transpottatiort <br />ifettFopalit n Divlsicln:. <br />Water's Edge <br />:1500 WestCounty;Road 82 <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />December 23,;2003 <br />Michael G ochale <br />ll omm.I evelopment:Ditect <br />600 town <br />Lino i itkort.
