Met Unit Nixes
Interchange
The location of a pro-
posed Hwy. 36 inter-
change at English Street
in Maplewood would be
inadvisable because the
interchange would be less
than a mile from one at
HWy. 36 and Hwy. 61,the
Metropolitan Council said
Thursday.
Building highway inter-
changes within a mile of
each other is inconsistent
with the council's develop-
ment guide.
Council members made
those comments as they
recommended several
changes in the pending
Maplewood comprehen-
sive plan.
A council spokesman ex-
pinined that the agency's
recommendation on the
interchange at .English
Street would hold consid-
erable weight with the
Minnesota Highway De-
partment,which ultimate-
ly determines where in-
terchanges are built on
Hwy.36.
