, EDC Minutes July 16, 2004 Not Approved Page 3 6. EDC BUSINESS A. Discuss Possible Changes to I35W and Co. Highway 10 Proposed by the MN Dept. of Transportation: Last month there was a joint working session of Arden Hills, Mounds View, and New Brighton regarding transportation needs. Backman presented the EDC members with three different maps showing how the main arterials along the eastern side of the City might change in the future (I-35W, County Hwy 10, Co. Rd. I, and Old 8). The Vision map of MnDOT showed which interchanges could be impacted and two Exhibit maps displayed changes that could be made. A new interchange for Hwy 96 is proposed in New Brighton as part of the Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment Project. County Road I Interchange might be eliminated,allowing for just an underpass connecting Shoreview and Mounds View. Direct access in Mounds View from County Hwy. 10 to I-35W might be closed off. Traffic would then flow south on Old 8 to the new Hwy 96 Interchange. Belting expressed his view that a lot of M.V. businesses would be impacted by these changes. As part of the comment process he would suggest that the City or Chamber facilitate a local meeting of businesses to get their views on these changes. Backman concurred Other —None. that Sherry Gunn and Rob Marty are the City representatives on the joint community meetings. B. 7. ADJOURNMENT Backman indicated that he had arranged for a tour of SYSCO Minnesota's new dry storage and cold storage areas. Given that the tour is to begin at 8:30 a.m., and there being no further business before the Commission, Belting adjourned the July 16th meeting of the Economic Development Commission at 8:17 a.m. Respectfully submitted, 4742.02.01.- Aaron A.
