CASE PROPOSED CHANGES TO COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY SYSTEM By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer Background: Attached is a letter from Jon Olson, Anoka County Engineer, requesting the City's support in the re-designation of the County State Aid Highway System. These changes were discussed informally at the October 24, 1995 meeting. A sketch is attached which illustrates the changes. If passed, the City of Ramsey would realize a net change of 6.5 miles in state aid designation. A summary of changes is enumerated below. Added to State Aid System C.R. #116 C.S.A.H. g9 - C.R. #57 4.136 miles C.R. #57 C.R. #116 - C.R. #57 0.459 miles C.R. #83 T.H. 010 - C.S.A.H. #22 4.975 miles C.R. #7 C.S.A.H. 927 - C.S.A.H. #22 2.289 miles Removed from State Aid System C.S.A.H. #27 T.H. #47 - C.S.A.H. #7 1.374 miles As Mr. Olson indicates in his letter, the County practice does not differentiate between county roads and county state aid roads in setting priorities, standards or financing contributed from local municipalities. The County feels the changes will result in an increase in the amount of allocation received from the state each year. Also, the two county roads within the city added to the system, C.R. #116 and C.R. #83, mn adjacent to areas of the city which are expected to develop within the near future. The County is asking the City of Ramsey to pass the attached resolution, as City support is necessary to facilitate the change. Staff Recommendation: I recommend support of the County M.S.A. changes. Committee Action: Motion to recommend Council pass Resolution g95-11-XX supporting the proposed changes to the County State Aid Highway System.
