' Mounds View City Council January 8, 1990 <br />Regular Meeting Page Two <br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />• Mayor Hankner closed the regular meeting and opened <br />the public hearing at 7:05 PM. <br />Public Works Director Minetor explained representa- <br />tives from MnDOT were present to explain the concept <br />of new Highway 10, and answer questions. <br />Mark Benson, of MnDOT, explained construction of new <br />Highway 10 will begin'in 1992,, and he gave an over- <br />view of the project and reviewed the map showing the <br />path and interchanges of the highway. It will be 5.3 <br />miles long,and it is being built due to congestion <br />on existing Highway 10. All access to the new highway <br />will be through interchanges, which will be metered. <br />Mr. Benson reviewed the stages the project has gone <br />through, back to 1979. County Road J will be done <br />in 1992, to Highway 65, with the entire project to <br />be completed in 1996. <br />James Nelson, 8303 Red Oak Drive, asked how traffic <br />would be handled during construction. <br />Craig Robinson,, of MnDOT, reviewed the plan and showed <br />on the map how traffic will be directed. The road <br />will be closed off for a very hort time, perhaps two <br />• weeks, and traffic will be rerouted. <br />Lyle Nelson, no address given,, expressed concern <br />with both noise and air pollution,, stating 59,900 <br />cars are projected by the year 2040, and he questioned <br />where all those cars are going to go. He also stated <br />he felt those cars would be going through his yard. <br />Mr. Benson explained the ramps will be metered to <br />control traffic. <br />Mr. Robinson reviewed the noise abatement situation, <br />explaining that due to Legislative action, noise <br />abatement cannot be put in until the road is recon- <br />structed. However, the noise projections for 2000 <br />do not show significant increases in levels. There <br />is a Legislative moratorium on noise abatement, and <br />while individual communities have attempted to <br />address it. it is very expensive. <br />Mr. Nelson read from an article published on November <br />1, 1979 in the New Brighton Bulletin, and stated he <br />feels this meeting is no more than a formality, as <br />the people have no say in the matter. <br />6.
