INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting Council order a public hearing for the I -35W North Corridor Improvements
on July 25, 2016; with the future action being municipal consent for the project.
BACKGROUND
Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) completed the final layout for the I -35W
North Corridor Improvement project. The I -35W north corridor has been shown to have some
of the worst congestion in the metro area. The proposed project will add a lane in each
direction from Highway 36 to Lexington Avenue in Blaine. The lanes will be managed under
the MnPass program. Eight (8) additions spot improvements along the corridor are also being
recommended as part of the project. Construction is anticipated to start in 2019. It is a 4 year
project with the phase within Lino Lakes occurring in 2022.
The project will include construction of noise walls along the corridor. While the added lane
only extends to Lexington Avenue the project will involve some resurfacing work past Sunset
Avenue and into Lino Lakes. As a result a noise wall is being proposed for the south side of the
interstate.
Mn/DOT constructed a sound wall along the north side of 35W in 2009. Following its
completion the City received a petition from residents requesting a barrier on the south side.
Construction of the newly proposed wall would address this request. The wall construction
includes a public outreach process and is subject to a vote by the benefitted property
owners/residents. Voting is anticipated to be in favor of the project.
The next step in the process is to hold a public hearing on the project and provide municipal
consent. The hearing is scheduled for July 25, 2016 and MnDOT staff will be in attendance at
the hearing to respond to questions.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending adoption of Resolution No. 16-56 to order a public hearing for the I -35W
North Corridor Improvements.
