<br />EDC Minutes <br />January 15, 2016 <br />Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Rice Creek Commons (TCAAP) Development Update <br /> <br />Next, Coordinator Beeman provided an update on anticipated improvements relating to <br />Rice Creek Commons. He informed the Commission that with the current 53,000 to <br />127,000 vehicles on I-35, MNDOT is looking to add MNPASS lanes, one each direction <br />due to the increased traffic. If funding can be secured, the preliminary engineering <br />process would start as soon as 2018. <br /> <br />Mounds View Project Updates <br /> <br />Beeman provided an update on the Mounds View Area Regional Sewer Improvements <br />being completed by the Metropolitan Council. A half mile section is being replaced in <br />Mounds View running diagonally from the northeast to the southwest corner through the <br />city. <br /> <br />Snyder Building <br /> <br />Beeman informed the Commission that there is no change with the Snyder building <br />stating that there is continued interest, however it is overpriced. <br /> <br />County Road 10 Addressing <br /> <br />Next, Beeman updated the Commission that he has met with the company that <br />Commissioner Rieland has put him in touch with to discuss the electronic syncing of <br />addresses with the phone map applications, websites, and other sources. The company <br />is able to pin point the latitude and longitude of the actual building then sync the address <br />so that their clients and customers can find them. This gives local businesses a <br />temporary solution until Ramsey County can come up with the resources to replace the <br />signs with the correct signage. Beeman said the company may also put in a bid for <br />updating the city’s website and assisting with the quarterly newsletter. Another meeting <br />has been set for staff to meet with County officials to discuss the signage issue later this <br />month. <br /> <br />Commissioner Freichels asked if the US Post Office had continued to deliver mail after <br />discontinuing service to the Bel Rea residents due to the incorrect signage. Beeman <br />informed the Commission that he believes the Post Office has continued delivery. <br />Beeman said the County recently had mentioned that they wanted to shorten the name <br />to County 10 because of the cost. However, at this time staff is telling all local <br />businesses that the correct name is County Road 10 until the County decides to change <br />the name. <br /> <br />Commissioner Helgemoe stated that he had asked a County Commissioner last week <br />about the naming of County Road 10. The County official said that there was a meeting <br />scheduled to discuss the matter. City Administrator, Jim Ericson who was in the <br />audience stated that the meeting had not happened yet and was scheduled for the last <br />week in January.
