TRANSPORTATION FINAL LAYOUT FOR STATE PROJECT 6284-172 I35W NORTH
CORRIDOR WITHIN THE MUNICIPAL LIMITS OF LINO LAKES
WHEREAS, a Public Hearing on the final layout for State Project 6284-172 for improvements to
the Interstate 35W North Corridor was held by the City Council of Lino Lakes on August 22,
2016; and
WHEREAS, the Commissioner of Transportation has prepared a final layout for State Project
Layout 1A, 6284-172 on Interstate 35W North, from Sunset Avenue to approximately 1,600 feet
northeast within the City of Lino Lakes for corridor improvements; and seeks the approval
thereof, as described in Minnesota Statutes 161.162 to 161.167; and
WHEREAS, said final layout is on file in the Metro District, Minnesota Department of
Transportation office, Roseville, Minnesota, being marked as S.P. 6284-172, Layout 1A, from
R.P. 680+00 to 696+00; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes supported the construction of sound
barriers and additional lanes to I -35W between Highway 36 and County Road 17, as those
improvements are clearly needed, but opposes designating the additional lanes as MnPass lanes,
and instead supports the construction of general purpose lanes open to all given that all taxpayers
are financially supporting their construction.; and

the plans within the 90 -day statutory review period thereby deeming the plans approved for
purposes of Mn/DOT proceeding with the specific project.

the lack of a specific denial of the project does not allow for or otherwise permit the change in
scope or expansion of State Project 6284-172 on Interstate 35W North within the City of Lino
Lakes, or future projects within the City, without the expressed consent of the Lino Lakes City
Council as described in Minnesota Statutes 161.162 to 161.167.
