At this meeting the City Council <br />indicated that they wish to have Mn/DOT proceed with the noise wall in the Ardan <br />Park Area (Segment A) and other aspects of the Trunk Highway 10 Noise Wall. <br /> <br /> Based on this direction, Staff requested Ulteig Engineers, the engineering firm <br />that the City hired to work on this project, to forward all the data, including <br />incomplete construction plan sheets and incomplete specifications that they had <br />developed to Mark Lindaberg, Mn/DOT Regional Representative. <br /> <br />Staff met with Mr. Lindaberg along with Peter Wasko, Mn/DOT’s Noise <br />Abatement Specialist on Thursday, May 31, 2007. The purpose of this meeting <br />was to discuss the status of the noise wall in the Ardan Park Area (Segment A) <br />and determine the City preferred alignment of the wall adjacent to Ardan Park. <br /> <br />At the Work Session on June 4, 2007, Staff provided the City Council an update <br />on this project and asked for direction as to the alignment of the wall in Ardan <br />Park. City Council directed Staff to direct Mn/DOT to proceed with the plans that <br />showed the wall being located at the City/State common property line. <br /> <br /> <br /> Discussion: <br />Based on the May 31, 2007 meeting with Mn/DOT, plans for the noise wall for a <br />portion of Ardan Park are currently being created and construction of the wall is <br />scheduled to begin in late spring of 2008. <br /> <br />In addition, Mn/DOT has stated that they will perform sound monitoring at two <br />spots along Laport Drive as per the cities request. These will be at the same <br />monitoring locations (2312 and 2300 Laport Drive) that were done in 2000. <br />
