2010-04-26 Legislative Update, April 22, 2010 With the legislature in a holding pattern and the summer driving season around the corner, I wanted to provide an update on road projects in and around our area. MnDot has three projects planned for major highways including Hwy 10 and 35W, all of which are funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. I encourage everyone to be patient and stay safe as these projects are underway. Here are the details: Hwy 10 from Blaine to Shoreview Description: Resurface three miles of Hwy 10 from I-35W to Hwy 65 in Blaine, Mounds View and Shoreview Construction Dates: TBA Traffic Impacts: Lane closures I-35W Arden Hills to Blaine Description: Resurface 4.25 miles of I-35W from I-694 to Lake Dr. in Arden Hills, New Brighton, Mounds View, Shoreview and Blaine Construction Dates: April 19 - Sept. 30, 2010 Traffic Impacts: Increased congestion I-35W Arden Hills to Blaine Description: Add new southbound lane between Hwy 10 and County Road 23 (Lake Drive) Construction Dates: April - Sept 2010 Traffic Impacts: Lane closure There are several other planned road construction and public works projects in Blaine this summer, and you can stay up to date and receive email updates through the City of Blaine’s website: http://www.ci.blaine.mn.us/_InsideCityHall/_PublicServices/_Engineering/_EngineeringProjects/EngineeringProjects_Home.cfm With one month to go in the 2010 legislative session, I welcome your continued questions and feedback. The legislature may be in neutral for the moment, but there are still important issues to address. As we again take up the issues of the budget and promoting free enterprise, I look forward to hearing from you and bringing the voice of Blaine to St. Paul.
