What is the status of the bridge. The environmental impact statement is done, and needs some clarifications that are now being decided on. Funding for the bridge is not available yet either. Manning and Hilton will have them in place by next summer, if not earlier. As to Lake Elmo, they are looking at that crossing.
Traffic now is almost impossible to get across or into a lane.
With lights, the traffic will be flared out so there may be better chances to flow into the traffic or get across. What happens if you restrict some crossings, as that would impact 60th Street. The traffic is bound up now, and with new lanes it will be just as jammed as it is now so felt adding a lane would not help. It was suggested they look into mass transit. Mr. VanWormer will ask MnDOT and RTC to look into it.
