This may be too early to ask questions (this might be answered at the
meeting?) but how will Diamond Lake be affected exactly? Will it become
filled with deiceing chemicals to the extent that it will affect aquatic life? Will
it flood? 24 acres of added roadway seems like a lot of space (over a million
square feet of freeway surface run-off).
And if so, what can be done to protect the lakes, being that 35W and 62
wont be going away?
I know Pam Blixt just sent out a meeting announcement and this might be
all answered at the meeting, but I'm looking for a preview of how the new
interchange will affect Diamond lake and possibly the whole chain of lakes.
Any more info out there on this?

Subject: [Mpls] 35W/62 Watershed Permit
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 05:11:10 -0700
I guess this is not my week to improve relations with the MN Department
of Transportation. Thank you Steve
Brandt, for your article about Coldwater Spring!
This Thursday evening at Minnetonka City Hall at around 7 p.m. the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District will be
holding its public hearing for the 35W/62 Crosstown project. The project
will increase impervious surface by 24
acres out of a total project size of 77 acres, much of which drains to
Diamond Lake. I am concerned that the
proposed project does not provide enough protection for Diamond Lake. I
would be love to have residents who may
be concerned about the effects of the highway project on water quality
testify at the hearing. The city hall is
located about 3 blocks west of 494 at Minnetonka Boulevard at 14600
Minnetonka Boulevard. Please pass this on to
interested neighbors...sorry for the short notice.
