Hearing: Informational Public Works Director Minetor explained representa- Presentation tives from MnDOT were present to explain the concept by Representa- of new Highway 10, and answer questions. tives of MnDOT on Plans to Mark Benson, of MnDOT, explained construction of new Complete New Highway 10 will begin ' in 1992, and he gave an over- Highway 10 view of the project and reviewed the map showing the path and interchanges of the highway. It will be 5.3 miles long, and it is being built due to congestion on existing Highway 10. All access to the new highway will be through interchanges, which will be metered. Mr. Benson reviewed the stages the project has gone through, back to 1979. County Road J will be done in 1992, to Highway 65, with the entire project to be completed in 1996. James Nelson, 8303 Red Oak Drive, asked how traffic would be handled during construction. Craig Robinson, of MnDOT, reviewed the plan and showed on the map how 'traffic will be directed. The road will be closed off for a very hort time, perhaps two weeks, and traffic will be rerouted. • Lyle Nelson, no address given, expressed concern with both noise and air pollution, stating 59, 900 cars are projected by the year 2000, and he questioned where all those cars are going to go. He also stated he felt those cars would be going through his yard. Mr. Benson explained the ramps will be metered to control traffic. Mr. Robinson reviewed the noise abatement situation, explaining that due to Legislative action, noise abatement cannot be put in until the road is recon- structed. However, the noise projections for 2000 do not show significant increases in levels. There is a Legislative moratorium on noise abatement, and while individual communities have attempted to address it, it is very expensive. Mr. Nelson read from an article published on November 1, 1979 in the New Brighton Bulletin, and stated he feels this meeting is no more than a formality, as the people have no say in the matter. Jerry Linke, 2319 Knoll Drive, asked what projections 111 are for 35W.
