CASH 14/I -35E INTERCHANGE
Rick Arnebeck and Linda Bly from MNDOT spoke to city representatives about the process for funding
the interchange work. The project would have to get a priority ranking and be placed in the funding cycle.
The five MNDOT criteria for ranking are: 1) preservation of existing system; 2) management; 3)
improvements; 4) expansion; and 5) interregional corridor and bottleneck problems. There are no grants
right now to do a planning study. Many questions were asked by City Officials.
