CC Work Session Date: 03/29/2011 By: Heidi Nelson Administrative Services Title: Discuss Strategies for Continuing Progress on TH10 Reconstruction to Freeway Status Background: Staff recently met with staff of the Anoka County Highway Department regarding the recent policy position of MNDOT staff for the northward shift of alignment and interchange spacing for TH10 when reconstructed. This apparent new policy position was received by the City on February 9, 2011 on the MNDOT staff review comments in regard to the alignment for the proposed interchanges at Sunfish Lake Boulevard and Ramsey Boulevard. In cooperation with Anoka County, staff has developed a strategy to respond to the MNDOT policy position that would outline the investment that has been made in the corridor per the design that shifted the roadway to the north and included an interchange at both Sunfish Lake and Ramsey Boulevards. Staff will review the meeting held with Anoka County staff and the recommended strategy to address the change in policy by MNDOT. Attached to this case is a timeline for the involvement that the City, County, MNDOT and Metropolitan Council have had over the course of the past 12 years for the reconstruction and realignment of TH10. Notification: None required. Information Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Council review the potential strategies for the reconstruction of TH10 to freeway status. Funding Source: No funding required for this discussion. Council Action: Direct staff with regard to strategy for the reconstruction of TH10 to freeway status.
