RE: CSAH 23 INTERCHANGE AT I -35W FEDERAL FUNDING SOLICITATION
Dear Mr. Heitke:
The County has been informed the City of Lino Lakes will submit a federal application for funds to
reconstruct the CSAH 23 (Lake Drive NE) interchange at I -35W. Anoka County is the agency with
jurisdiction on CSAH 23 and have been cooperating with the City of Lino Lakes to improve the
interchange at I -35W. The project has also been identified in our 2005 -2009 Highway Improvement
Plan (HIP).
Therefore, Anoka County supports this proposed project for federal funding and supports the
application for funds during the current solicitation process. We believe this is an excellent
candidate for STP funding and look forward to its inclusion in the program.
Sincerely,
Dou ' as W. Fischer, P.E.
Anoka County Engineer
