EDC Minutes <br />July 16, 2004 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6. EDC BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Discuss Possible Changes to I35W and Co. Highway 10 Proposed by the MN Dept. of <br />Transportation: Last month there was a joint working session of Arden Hills, Mounds View, and <br />New Brighton regarding transportation needs. Backman presented the EDC members with three <br />different maps showing how the main arterials along the eastern side of the City might change in <br />the future (I-35W, County Hwy 10, Co. Rd. I, and Old 8). The Vision map of MnDOT showed <br />which interchanges could be impacted and two Exhibit maps displayed changes that could be <br />made. A new interchange for Hwy 96 is proposed in New Brighton as part of the Northwest <br />Quadrant Redevelopment Project. County Road I Interchange might be eliminated, allowing for <br />just an underpass connecting Shoreview and Mounds View. Direct access in Mounds View from <br />County Hwy. 10 to I-35W might be closed off. Traffic would then flow south on Old 8 to the new <br />Hwy 96 Interchange. Belting expressed his view that a lot of M.V. businesses would be impacted <br />by these changes. As part of the comment process he would suggest that the City or Chamber <br />facilitate a local meeting of businesses to get their views on these changes. Backman concurred <br />and also mentioned that Sherry Gunn and Rob Marty are the City representatives on the joint <br />community meetings. <br /> <br />B. Other—None. <br /> <br />7. ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Backman indicated that he had arranged for a tour of SYSCO Minnesota’s new dry storage and cold <br />storage areas. Given that the tour is to begin at 8:30 a.m., and there being no further business before <br />the Commission, Belting adjourned the July 16th meeting of the Economic Development Commission at <br />8:17 a.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Aaron A. Backman <br />Economic Development Coordinator <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />\\Trout\CommDev\Economic Development\EDC\Minutes\Min04\7-16-04.doc
