COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />7.01: Receive Update on Highway 10 Access Planning Study: Case of Minnesota <br />Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) <br />Development Services Manager Tim Gladhill indicated the purpose of this Case is for Bolton <br />and Menk, consultant to Mn/DOT, to present final alternatives for the Highway 10 Access <br />Planning Study. <br />Chris Chromy, Bolton and Menk, presented final alternatives for the Highway 10 Access <br />Planning Study. He indicated the Council would be asked for feedback on the final alternatives <br />for the Highway 10 Access Planning Study prior to publishing for public comment. He noted <br />meetings are scheduled for June 2 for the Anoka County Transportation Committee. There are <br />meetings scheduled for the businesses and stakeholders in Ramsey on June 3, and Anoka on June <br />4. The public open house for Ramsey is June 25, 2014. <br />Councilmember Tossey inquired whether Bolton and Menk has had the same level of <br />communication with Anoka as they have had with Ramsey. <br />Mr. Chromy replied they have been working with the staff of Anoka City as well as Anoka <br />County and the business owners that would be affected. <br />City Administrator Kurtis Ulrich followed up that he is having a meeting tomorrow with the <br />North Metro Mayors Association, which includes Anoka. He said they are starting to strategize <br />and brainstorm partnership ideas to keep the momentum going. <br />Mayor Strommen asked what Ramsey can do to assist in communication. <br />Mr. Chromy stated the consistent message that this project is moving forward is imperative. <br />Some City funding will be needed. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau inquired how far planning is at this point. <br />Mr. Chromy answered the nature of the planning is adjustable. This is not a finalized plan; this <br />is a working plan and a model. <br />Councilmember Kuzma inquired what the expected timeframe for improvements is. <br />Mr. Chromy responded that is difficult to predict. He stated they intended to achieve the projects <br />in a responsible timeframe, however, much of the project is dependent on funding. <br />Mayor Strommen thanked Mr. Chromy for bringing the plans to the Council multiple times and <br />keeping them up -to -date. <br />City Council / May 27, 2014 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br />
