City Engineer Jankowski stated they have and pointed out that adopting this Study establishes the <br />position to connect Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Mr. Eyler suggested this could be another local initiative project in the future. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski recommended a letter be sent to residents along 149th Avenue advising <br />them of the final recommendation to Council and when it will be adopted. <br /> <br />Mr. Eyler advised that Mn/DOT usually provides a two-year "warning" to property owners if their <br />property is to be acquired. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder inquired whether the intent is that Sunwood Drive would be built <br />concurrent with T.H. #47 improvements. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski agreed this would probably happen. <br /> <br />Mr. Eyler concurred and noted the Study does make this indication. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman suggested the wording regarding the second alternative policy be revised <br />to present a positive position that the expansion of T.H. #47 will be pursued concurrently when the <br />property is acquired. <br /> <br />Consensus was reached to direct staffto send notification to homeowners to advise them of the T.H. <br />#47 Corridor Study and invite them to a specially scheduled evening meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Eyler stated he will invite a Mn/DOT right-of-way specialist to attend this meeting, or at least <br />to provide information for distribution at the meeting. <br /> <br />Case/43: Report on 171st Traffic Study <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that prior to paving Bison Street, a traffic count indicated 85 <br />vehicles per day on 171st Avenue between Bison Street and Zeolite. Following the paving of Bison <br />Street, a visual observation was conducted during a two hour period (between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 <br />a.m.) which determined eight vehicles used 171st Avenue and six vehicles used Bison Street north <br />of 171 st Avenue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman requested this matter be delayed until next month so Tim Dusbabek <br />could be present for discussion. He advised that Mr. Dusbabek wants the traffic to be counted closer <br />to evening hours. <br /> <br />Consensus reached to place this item on the August agenda. <br /> <br />Road and Bridge Committee\July 9, 1996 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
