EDC Minutes <br /> February 20, 2015 <br /> Page 4 of 7 <br /> numerous times with the owner not returning calls or emails. As a result, the County <br /> conducted a study to determine if fuel trucks could still access the site and make their <br /> turns if both accesses were shut off. The County concluded that the fuel trucks could still <br /> make the turns and needed to move forward with the project despite the owner of <br /> Lucky's not returning messages. Beeman said this will be a major improvement with <br /> turning lanes at the intersection of County Road H and 10, a roundabout east of 35W <br /> Auto Repair, a new modern bridge over 1-35W, and access to the regional trail system. <br /> Ramsey County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation are still finalizing the <br /> plans. <br /> Chair Helgemoe asked if a stop light would be added on Old Hwy 8 near the Mermaid. <br /> Beeman reported that from the latest information the County did not plan to include a <br /> stop light at that intersection. <br /> Commissioner Dahlstrom asked about County Road 1. Beeman stated that Ramsey <br /> County is still considering their options for that intersection and most of the discussion <br /> revolved around County Road H. <br /> Commissioner Freichels asked if the sound wall would be installed. Council Member <br /> Meehlhause stated that the sound wall is only for 1-35W and not to Hwy 10 as part of this <br /> project. <br /> Commissioner Freichels raised his concerns for the anticipated increase in traffic from <br /> Old Hwy 8 to the intersection of County Road 10 & H. He would like to see a stop light at <br /> the Old Hwy 8 & County Road H intersection. Commissioner Helgemoe stated that the <br /> distance from that intersection to County Road 10 is short and perhaps that is one <br /> reason the County decided against the stop light. Freichels suggested it was most likely <br /> the result of costs and a lack of County resources. <br /> Mounds View Project Updates <br /> Commissioner Rieland provided an update on the Bio Life building project. Bio Life will <br /> take possession of the new building in July and exterior signs where installed this week. <br /> The only other issue is the address. They will be processing donors in August with a <br /> grand opening expected in September. <br /> Coordinator Beeman further explained the addressing issue stating that the County left <br /> old signs, each with different wording, which confuses people. Some businesses are <br /> using three variations of County Road 10; Hwy 10, County 10, and Hwy 10 NE. <br /> Medtronic and Sysco are located near Hwy 10. Otherwise, Mounds View doesn't have <br /> any businesses on Hwy 10. They are all located on County Road 10. Businesses have <br /> been complaining that their patients and customers can't find them because Google <br /> Maps and other mapping aps don't recognize the different addressing versions. Staff <br /> contacted the U.S. Postal Service because they stopped delivery to the new Bel Rae <br /> Senior Living who was using County 10 on their address. The Post Office is delivering <br /> mail by referencing the old county signage which is out dated, causing further confusion. <br /> There is also controversy on what to officially name County Road 10. In the past, <br /> Mounds View Boulevard was suggested among other names. However, what happens <br /> when the road also passes through Coon Rapids Boulevard, and Spring Lake Park, <br />
