The noise analysis is not completed and <br />there are a few issues with relocation, air quality, wetlands, drainage, and 4(f) and <br />6(f) parklands yet to be resolved. <br />Review of the project schedule - The Statue language for the submission of the <br />layout is as summarized: <br />1. Mn/DOT submits the layout to agencies for 1 eview and approval <br />2. Between 90-120 days after the layout is submitted, a public hearing is <br />held. <br />3. Mn/DOT receives comments from cities and agencies and has 180 days <br />to revise and formally adopt the layout. <br />4. Layout is sent out to the cities and agencies for final approval. <br />Agencies have 120 days to approve or disapprove. <br />5. If the layout is approved, it goes to final design. If it is not approved, <br />Mn/DOT can modify it again and agencies have 60 days to approve/ <br />disapprove or the layout can go to an appeal board. <br />The layout is near complete from a design standpoint. Tom and I were thinking <br />that Mn/DOT could submit the layout to the cities in September and start the <br />process for the submission of layout plans. If we have the public hearing in 13 <br />weeks after submission, that would be in December sometime. If the cities want <br />to speed up the review and approval process, the cities could request in writing to <br />have the public hearing sooner than the 13 weeks, however, it will take the cities <br />cooperation and willingness to work with Mn/DOT on making decisions on issues <br />yet to be resolved. It probably won’t take 180 days for step 3 and hopefully it <br />won’t take 120 days in step 4 for the cities to approve or disapprove the final <br />layout.
