Public Works Superintendent <br /> City of Ramsey <br /> 7550 Sunwood Dr NW <br /> Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> RE: Regional Solicitation Application for Pedestrian and Bike Crossing at TH 10 and <br /> Ramsey's Northstar Station <br /> Dear Mr. Riverblood: <br /> Thank you for requesting a letter of support from MnDOT for the Metropolitan <br /> Council/Transportation Advisory Board(TAB) 2016 Regional Solicitation. Your application for <br /> the Pedestrian and Bike Crossing at TH 10 and Ramsey's Northstar Station impacts MnDOT <br /> right of way on TH 10. <br /> MnDOT, as the agency with jurisdiction over TH 10, would allow the grade-separated bike and <br /> pedestrian crossing included in the application for Pedestrian and Bike Crossing at TH 10 and <br /> Ramsey's Northstar Station project. Details of any future maintenance agreement with the <br /> County will be determined during project development to define how the improvements will be <br /> maintained; however,pedestrian and bike amenities that impact MnDOT right of way are <br /> normally owned and maintained by the local agency. <br /> This project has no funding from MnDOT. In addition, the Metro District currently has no <br /> discretionary funding in year 2020 of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) or <br /> year 2021 of the Capital Highway Investment Plan(CHIP)to assist with construction or assist <br /> with MnDOT services such as the design or construction engineering of the project. Please <br /> continue to work with MnDOT Area staff to assist in identifying additional project funding. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Scott McBride, P.E. <br /> Metro District Engineer <br /> Cc: Elaine Koustsoukos, Metropolitan Council <br /> Sheila Kauppi, MnDOT Metro District—North Area Manager <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
