CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA
A special meeting of the Mounds View City Council was called to
order by Mayor Pickar at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, June 22 1977,
at the Mounds View City Hall, 2401 Highway 10, Mounds View, MN 55112.
Members Also
present: Mayor Pickar present: Clerk - Admin. Achen
Councilmember Hodges Engineer Hubbard
Councilmember Baumgartner
Councilmember Rowley
Councilmember Ziebarth
Administrator Achen explained this meeting was called to provide
additional time before Council action on the T.H.10 overlay
project for Mn /DOT to prepare information regarding the possibility
of a median opening and signal between County Roads H and H -2 on
old T.H.10. He stated that City staff met with District 9 DOT
staff and reviewed the City's position on this matter. The City
desires to obtain one median opening to provide access for
commercial and industrial growth in this area on both sides of
T.H.10.
District 9 Engineer Charles Burrill stated Mn /DOT will be before
the City Council three times this summer for project approval:
(1) this project for skid resistance improvement and bituminous
overlay of T.H.10, (2) a project to realign the semaphore mast
arm at County Road H -2, County Road I and Silver Lake Road on
T.H.10, and (3) a noise barrier project along the east side of
I -35W in Mounds View.
He stated that Mn /DOT generally opposes median crossovers, but
that he understands the City's desire to allow development in
this area. He also understands the City's attempt to get agree-
ment of the several property owners to a single median opening.
Councilmember Hodges arrived at 7:15 PM.
Administrator Achen stated Mn /DOT's general reluctance to
additional crossovers makes sense while T.H.10 is a high speed,
major arterial. However, in just six years, new T.H.10 is planned
to replace that roadway. Then old T.H.10 will become a minor
arterial and the reluctance to approve the additional median
openings will make less sense.
Mr. Burrill suggested Council could formally approve this project,
and at the same time take formal action to request Mn /DOT's
cooperation in securing a new median opening on T.H.10 between
County RoadsH and H -2.
