Mr. Tim Cruikshank March 29, 1995 Page 2 You have indicated that some residents of your community or others using the intersection seem uncomfortable and have complained about the existing condition. (This may actually be a "psychological" affect, as the noise barrier presents a closed -in feeling. That affect may still be present even with a portion of the noise barrier removed.) Due to the concerns you have received regarding the existing condition, Mn/DOT would not object to the City of Mounds View removing a minimal portion of the inplace noise barrier, if you believe that would satisfy those concerned, provided that: 1. The removal and all costs incurred will be the responsibility of the City of Mounds View. 2. Mounds View authorities will contact the Mn/DOT Maintenance Superintendent for that area (Chuck Harris - telephone 582-1435) to determine whether Mn/DOT's Maintenance Office would like the removed materials salvaged and delivered to a specific location. If not, the removed material will become the property of the City of Mounds View. 3. The removal portion shall be no more than 2 sections. (The length proposed to be removed should be reviewed and approved by Chuck Harris.) 4. All areas disturbed due to the removal will be restored with turf establishment by the City of Mounds View. 5. It is understood that the City (and not Mn/DOT) will be held responsible in the future for any recourse from residents due to the possible loss of noise abatement resulting from removal of this section of noise barrier. If you have any questions or need additional information, please call either me (797-3051) or Harvey Scheffert (797-3037). Also, please inform us of any future decisions you make regarding this issue. Thank you for contacting Mn/DOT and informing us of your concerns, so that we might investigate this situation. Sincerely, Susan M. Klein, P.E. Design Engineer Enclosure cc: Jim Hansen Harvey Scheffert
