The Roseville location might not be any worse, although I can't speak<br>
to traffic. You'd just stay on 694 until you hit 35W, and go south<br>
from there to 36, and over to Snelling. If traffic is the same I would<br>
think the travel time from St. Cloud would be the same to Roseville<br>
and SLP.<br>
