The environmental review process has been completed. Results showed the site to <br /> be relatively clean. Reports should be ready in a couple of weeks. Field asked who is <br /> responsible for the demolition of the structures. Ericson replied that the City would do so. <br /> 5. Legislative Activity: $1.2 million appropriation for I-35W Design Concept Study and the <br /> Noise Wall Extension in Mounds View: Backman indicated that there has been a fair amount <br /> of activity on this over the past month. The City has been seeking$1.2 million--$822,000 for <br /> the design study for improvements to 35W from Lexington to 694, and $400,000 for <br /> additional resources for the noise wall extension on the south side of Trunk Highway 10. <br /> (MnDot already has programmed$300,000 in 2007 for the noise wall project.) City staff and <br /> the I-35W Corridor Coalition have been trying to get legislation heard or amended to the <br /> Omnibus Transportation bill. Thus far, it has not happened. There is good support from <br /> . area legislators, the Governor's office and Medtronic. However, it appears that the budget <br /> targets do not allow for the appropriation this year. The City will work with legislators in the <br /> upcoming legislative session to move it forward. <br /> 7.
