Anoka County <br />TRANSPORTATION DIVISION <br />Highway <br />July 9, 2026 <br />Bruce Westby, Public Works Director <br />City of Ramsey <br />7550 Sunwood Drive NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Re: Request for Support — CSAH 57/Sunfish Lake Blvd & Sunwood Drive HSIP Safety <br />Project (SFY 2030-2031) <br />Dear Mr. Westby, <br />Anoka County is preparing an application for MnDOT's 2026 Highway Safety <br />Improvement Program (HSIP) to fund safety improvements at the CSAH 57 (Sunfish <br />Lake Blvd) & Sunwood Drive intersection for State Fiscal Years 2030-2031. We are <br />reaching out to request the City of Ramsey's support. <br />The project includes construction of a single -lane roundabout along with pedestrian <br />crossing and sidewalk/trail connectivity improvements. These upgrades will help <br />reduce crashes, calm vehicle speeds, and improve safety for people walking and <br />biking near Sunwood Drive and surrounding neighborhoods. <br />If awarded HSIP funding, the project will be added to Anoka County's Highway <br />Improvement Plan for the year allocated. At that time, the County and City would <br />work together to develop a joint powers agreement outlining cost participation, <br />coordination roles, and long-term maintenance responsibilities. <br />We value the City of Ramsey's involvement and support in improving this intersection. <br />Demonstrated coordination strengthens the competitiveness of HSIP applications and <br />highlights our shared commitment to community safety. <br />We respectfully request a Letter of Support from the City acknowledging the project <br />and supporting Anoka County's HSIP application. We're happy to provide draft <br />language or connect to discuss the project further. <br />Thank you for your continued partnership. We look forward to working together on <br />this important safety improvement. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jorgd"R.
