 Discussion with the State of Minnesota and Ramsey County Departments of Transportation for the purpose of: • Determining the latest information, interest or position their departments have pertaining to Highway 10 development. • Gather information on how plans for Highways 35W and 96 could impact the future of Highway 10 • Extending an invitation on the part of the City of Mounds View to attend and participate in the community meetings.  Scheduling two community forums or workshops facilitated by Springsted where citizens, parents and business community members will be given an opportunity to share their opinion and vision for the future development and redesign of the portion of Highway 10 that runs through the City of Mounds View. As effort with be made to encourage workshop participants to think in terms of what they want Highway 10 to look and like 10-15 years in the future. • Sensitivity at these meetings will be given to issues of volume and speed of traffic, as well as, community concerns for safe and protected neighborhoods. • Tentative questions that could be addressed are: − Do citizens want Highway 10 to be a freeway in concept?; or − Do citizens want Highway 10 to be part of the community?; or − Do citizens want to leave it as it is? • The exact framing of the questions and issues to be addressed will be discussed with the Steering Committee.  The culminating activity of this phase of the work plan will be a report written by Springsted on information gained at the two community meetings for use by interested parties as they plan for future development of the highway. • Thinking optimistically, Springsted hopes that the information gained at the two public meetings will allow for the report to establish a preliminary direction for consideration by the City Council. • At a minimum the report will categorize and summarize positions, establish a current record of thought and suggest next steps.
