<br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Musgrove, Councilmembers Riley and Howell. Voting <br />No: None. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek stated that this would most likely come back in November or <br />December. <br /> <br />6.02: Consider Recommendation to City Council to Submit Application for 2024 MnDOT <br />Metro Standalone Noise Barrier Program <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby reviewed the staff report stating that over the years, <br />staff has received requests to construct a sound wall between Highway 10 and the properties <br />abutting Beatty Avenue and Collins Drive. In 2022, MnDOT completed a study through their <br />th <br />Metro Standalone Noise Barrier Program that showed this area ranked 135 out of 172 project <br />areas and was found not to be cost-effective to construct sound wall improvements. He provided <br />additional details on City costs and the application process. <br />Chairperson Musgrove asked if a noise study was completed. <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby replied that MnDOT completes a study, to determine <br />the benefit to residents that would be provided. He noted that when Riverstone South went in a <br />noise study was completed as part of the EAW. <br />Chairperson Musgrove asked if that formula used by MnDOT has changed from 2022 to 2024. <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby replied that the formula has not changed although <br />the cost would have changed. He confirmed that this request was made by one resident. <br />Chairperson Musgrove commented that she would tend not to support this request because of the <br />cost. <br />Councilmember Howell commented that this would seem to continue to rank low on the list and <br />therefore would not recommend spending the time and resources to apply. <br />Chairperson Musgrove confirmed the consensus of the committee to not submit an application. <br />6.03: Update on Pavement Management Program <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek provided an update on the Pavement Management Program. <br />Councilmember Riley asked the range for the road ratings. <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek replied there are a couple roads rated at 2 and a fair amount of <br />3’s. He stated that many of the streets proposed for overlays or reconstructions over the next four <br />to five years are rated at 3 or less. He noted that the dirt roads would be rated as zero but explained <br />that those are not rated. <br />Public Works Committee / September 17, 2024 <br />Page 9 of 12 <br /> <br />
