Mn/DOT is not required by law to receive Ramsey County approval to proceed with the construction of the final segment of New T.H. 10 or its proposed interchange with County Road J. Mn/DOT staff, however, has reviewed the proposals with us and has solicited our comments. I know the municipalities' concern over traffic noise and the other safety, health and welfare issues that will arise from a project such as this. These issues are also important to Ramsey County and I can assure you Ramsey County will to every extent possible see these issues are addressed by Mn/DOT rp lgr to implementation of the plan. When the County Road J/New T.H. 10 interchange construction is complete, several issues regarding local roads will need to be addressed. For Ramsey County, these issues mainly concern the condition, operation and jurisdiction of Old County Road J and L ong Lake Road. Both of these routes are currently on the County State -aid Highway system; however, depending on the final design configuration, this may not be appropriate when construction is complete. Ramsey County will at that time conduct an analysis to determine what the appropriate jurisdiction should be and recommend a course which will resolve the issue. Should that recommendation result in municipal ownership of those segments, Ramsey County will assist the City in obtaining MSAS designation providing the segments meet the criteria and municipal limits for MSAS designation. The issues of County Road J and New 10 are many and complex. Some, but not all, can be addressed with the Ramsey/Anoka County project and others addressed as part of the Mn/DOT interchange plan. Ramsey County shares the City 's concern that these issues are addressed and will work to thtend on both proposals. If I can be of further assistance, please Sincerely, �5nnet EE• Weltz�E• Director and County Engineer PLK:vl cc: Commissioner Duane McCarty Paul Rudd, Anoka County Boyd Paulu, BRW, Inc. Enc.
