• RESOLUTION NO. 2018-32
SUPPORTING THE 2021 NOISE WALL IMPROVEMENTS
BY THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) conducted a noise abatement
study, as required by legislation passed by congress in 1972, finding noise standards had been exceeded in
areas along Minnesota freeways and expressways; and,
WHEREAS, MnDOT ranked the need for noise walls based on existing noise levels, length of barrier
and number of homes. The study put the following locations on the list to be constructed in 2021:
• TH-169 NB Waterford Court to 5901 Lincoln Drive
• TH-169 NB Valley View Road to Apache Road
WHEREAS, noise studies, conducted by MnDOT along the above locations found the traffic noise
approaches or exceeds the Federal Highway Criteria of 67dB(A)(LEG) and the Minnesota State daytime
noise standard of 65 dB(A) (L10); and,
WHEREAS, a noise wall would block the direct path of sound waves from the highway to homes
and businesses along the highway reducing traffic noise by at least 3dB(A); and,
WHEREAS, the project would include the construction of approximately a 20 foot high, concrete or
Owood, wall; and,
WHEREAS, the project will be funded 90% by MnDOT and 10% by the City of Edina.
WHEREAS, the City of Edina funds the 10% cost share requirement using special assessments to
benefitting properties; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Edina will conduct a public improvement hearing at a future date closer to
time of construction to allow public comments on potential property assessments; and,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City of Edina supports MnDOT's continued analysis and
design in anticipation of the construction of two new noise walls to reduce noise levels.
