It is our submission that the potential detrimental effects of any new and expanded roads and additional road salt on Ramsey Lake water quality outweighs any benefits from road expansion and therefore the “do nothing” option is the only option GSWA can currently support. There are other traffic and road mitigation measures that must be considered, such as magnesium chloride, crushed granite sand, increased public transportation, staggered business hours, bike lanes, etc., that must be in place. A Risk Management Plan to address effective road salt mitigation, and consideration of the Master Transit Plan are essential.
