Mounds View City Council January 8, 190 <br /> Regular Meeting Page Four <br /> Mr. Minetor explained County Road J will be recon411 <br /> - <br /> structed in the near future to take care of some of <br /> the traffic concerns on J itself. Spring Lake Park <br /> Road and Knollwood Drive are not planned for re- <br /> construction at that time. <br /> Jim Meyer, of Blaine, asked how many houses would be <br /> taken for the project. He added he had read 15 would <br /> taken in Coon Rapids. <br /> Mr. Robinson replied he believes one will be taken in <br /> Blaine, and about a dozen hangers at the airport. <br /> Paul Milke asked what will happen to County Road J. <br /> Mr. Robinson stated he understood it would be turned <br /> over to the City. He noted, also, that the center <br /> line of the road is the boundary between Mounds View <br /> and Blaine. <br /> Mr. Nelson stated he believed traffic would get off <br /> the highway and go through the residential areas, <br /> especially if the freeway is backed up. <br /> Mayor Hankner stated the City could talk to the <br /> Legislature about changing the moratorium on noise • <br /> abatement. She added laws can be changed, but it <br /> takes a lot of work. She stated her primary concerns <br /> are noise abatement and traffic. <br /> Mr. Benson explained the interchange at Highway 65 <br /> has too much traffic already, which is why the airport <br /> interchange is needed. <br /> Mr. Robinson stated the weight limitations on County <br /> Road J would be a ten ton design, and he believes the <br /> speed limit would be 35-40 MPH. <br /> Mayor Hankner noted the lights on old Highway 10 are <br /> timed that residents, specifically at Long Lake Road, <br /> cannot get across, and asked if that timing could be <br /> changed. The City would prefer a walk-over there, <br /> but has been turned down. <br /> Mr. Robinson explained as signals are being rehabili- <br /> tated, they are adding pedestrian signals and ramps. <br /> Mr. Minetor advised that was done recently, and he <br /> has been told the timing problem is still being looked <br /> at. <br /> Mr. Henzela stated he is a concerned parent, as his • <br /> children will cross the highway to go to the new <br /> library, and he questioned why a bridge couldn ' t be <br /> built. <br />
