Minnesota Department of Transportation Aon'""ES°'qya Metro District 1500 West County Road B-2 Roseville, MN 5511 July 8, 2016 Mark Riverblood Parks and Asst. Public Works Superintendent City of Ramsey 7550 Sunwood Dr NW Ramsey, MN 55303 RE: Regional Solicitation Application for Pedestrian and Bike Crossing at TH 10 and Ramsey's Northstar Station Dear Mr. Riverblood: Thank you for requesting a letter of support from MnDOT for the Metropolitan Council/Transportation Advisory Board(TAB) 2016 Regional Solicitation. Your application for the Pedestrian and Bike Crossing at TH 10 and Ramsey's Northstar Station impacts MnDOT right of way on TH 10. MnDOT, as the agency with jurisdiction over TH 10, would allow the grade-separated bike and pedestrian crossing included in the application for Pedestrian and Bike Crossing at TH 10 and Ramsey's Northstar Station project. Details of any future maintenance agreement with the County will be determined during project development to define how the improvements will be maintained; however,pedestrian and bike amenities that impact MnDOT right of way are normally owned and maintained by the local agency. This project has no funding from MnDOT. In addition, the Metro District currently has no discretionary funding in year 2020 of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) or year 2021 of the Capital Highway Investment Plan(CHIP)to assist with construction or assist with MnDOT services such as the design or construction engineering of the project. Please continue to work with MnDOT Area staff to assist in identifying additional project funding. Sincerely, Scott McBride, P.E.
