RESOLUTION NO. 5745
APPROVAL OF ISSUES THE CITY COUNCIL INTENDS TO BRING
FORWARD FOR RESOLUTION
AND DISCUSSION WITH THE TRUNK HIGHWAY 10 INTERREGIONAL
MANAGEMENT TEAM
AND MN/DOT
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
WHEREAS, a final draft Interregional Corridor Management Plan: TH 24
in Clear Lake to 1-35W has been completed; and
WHEREAS, said plan raises issues the City of Mounds View would like to
express, discuss, and find resolution for;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the Mounds View City Council
does hereby approve the following issues to be brought forward for resolution
and discussion with the Trunk Highway 10 Interregional Management Team and
Mn/DOT:
1. The Plan must include the construction of a noise wall along the entire
length in Mounds View. Without this, the City of Mounds View will not
support this study in any manner.
2. The City of Mounds View supports and encourages the extension of a
third eastbound lane in the area west of 1-35W in that it will require
Mn/DOT to construct the noise wall.
3. The City of Mounds View believes that there is a general lack of
foresight and long term planning associated with the development of the
plan. Examples are as follows:
· The plan calls for 8 lanes in the area where TH 10 intersects 1-
35W. Has there been any coordination with the 1-35W corridor
plan? How will these proposed lanes of traffic on TH 10 merge
into the lanes of 1-35W? The City holds a concern that the plan
will not work given the current and forecasted congestion on 1-
35W.
.
· The plan calls for upgrading expressways into freeways in the
areas of Anoka, Big Lake, and Elk River. However, nothing has
been done to encourage these municipalities to change their
zoning ordinances. Businesses and commercial development
continue to be developed within this corridor without the proper
provisions for the necessary right-of-way or setbacks.
4. The current design of eastbound traffic on TH 10 merging into
northbound traffic on traffic on 1-35W is insufficient and dangerous. This
situation requires traffic that is moving at a slow rate of speed to merge
into much faster moving traffic. The design should have allowed for a
greater opportunity for acceleration. This problem is compounded by the
roadway design, which requires merging vehicles to shift lanes along this
segment of 1-35W.
Adopted this 8th day of April 2002.
