Sept. 19, 2025 Update Noise Wall #62 Tracy Area

Noise Wall #62

The City of Edina sought feedback from residents in 2024 to determine if we should apply to MnDOT’s Noise Wall Program. This program is available for stand-alone noise walls that are listed on MnDOT’s noise wall list. The wall referenced is #62 on the list and located between Tracy Avenue and the CP Railroad Tracks along the south side of Highway 62. MnDOT has funding to install 1 to 2 walls a year but applications from cities have been sporadic.

The City submitted an application but we were not successful. This wall location did not score high enough compared to the other submittals. The results can be found here. https://www.dot.state.mn.us/environment/noise/metro.html

If appears MnDOT solicits for applications every year. Unless I hear otherwise, I will submit an application during the next opportunity. Thanks. Chad Millner, City Engineer
