Noise Advisory Committee

 

Mn/DOT continues to investigate impacts that may result from reconstruction of I-694 near Snelling Avenue in Arden Hills. The changes involve realignment of I-694 and reconstruction of the interchange of I-694, Hwy 10, Hwy 51/Snelling Avenue and Hamline Avenue. One part of the documentation involves existing noise levels and predicted future noise levels based on the proposed roadway project.

Because traffic noise is an important project issue, a key element of the public involvement process will be the work of the Noise Advisory Committee (NAC), which includes community members and Mn/DOT and consultant staff.

The committee provides two-way communication between the community and the project team regarding traffic noise.  Meetings will educate residents regarding the noise evaluation process and will assist the project team in understanding community issues and perspectives. The NAC will review noise analysis methodology and results of noise impact and mitigation analyses, and will assist with development of a mitigation plan. The NAC will also provide feedback to the city council and communicate project information to neighborhood residents.

Three meetings were held between March 2010 and July 2010.
