EDC Minutes January 15, 2016 Page 6of8 Rice Creek Commons (TCAAP) Development Update Next, Coordinator Beeman provided an update on anticipated improvements relating to Rice Creek Commons. He informed the Commission that with the current 53,000 to 127,000 vehicles on 1-35, MNDOT is looking to add MNPASS lanes, one each direction due to the increased traffic. If funding can be secured, the preliminary engineering process would start as soon as 2018. Mounds View Prosect Updates Beeman provided an update on the Mounds View Area Regional Sewer Improvements being completed by the Metropolitan Council. A half mile section is being replaced in Mounds View running diagonally from the northeast to the southwest corner through the city. Snyder Building Beeman informed the Commission that there is no change with the Snyder building stating that there is continued interest, however it is overpriced. County Road 10 Addressing Next, Beeman updated the Commission that he has met with the company that Commissioner Rieland has put him in touch with to discuss the electronic syncing of addresses with the phone map applications, websites, and other sources. The company is able to pin point the latitude and longitude of the actual building then sync the address so that their clients and customers can find them. This gives local businesses a temporary solution until Ramsey County can come up with the resources to replace the signs with the correct signage. Beeman said the company may also put in a bid for updating the city's website and assisting with the quarterly newsletter. Another meeting has been set for staff to meet with County officials to discuss the signage issue later this month. Commissioner Freichels asked if the US Post Office had continued to deliver mail after discontinuing service to the Bel Rea residents due to the incorrect signage. Beeman informed the Commission that he believes the Post Office has continued delivery. Beeman said the County recently had mentioned that they wanted to shorten the name to County 10 because of the cost. However, at this time staff is telling all local businesses that the correct name is County Road 10 until the County decides to change the name. Commissioner Helgemoe stated that he had asked a County Commissioner last week about the naming of County Road 10. The County official said that there was a meeting scheduled to discuss the matter. City Administrator, Jim Ericson who was in the audience stated that the meeting had not happened yet and was scheduled for the last week in January.
