<br />CASE # a <br /> <br />CONSIDER MNDOT SIGNAL AGREEMENT THIO - SUNFISH LAKE BLVD <br />PROJECT #08-20 <br />By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer II <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Ramsey Town Center AUAR identified area roadways that would need to be <br />upgraded. Sunfish Lake Boulevard was one of the roadways slated for upgrading due to <br />the existing operation and safety of the signal at Trunk Highway 10. Ramsey Boulevard <br />was upgraded with a center median, left turn lanes and traffic signals based on these <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />The city entered into a Joint Powers agreement with the county for these improvements, with <br />the County being responsible for coordinating the design and construction of the work on <br />Sunfish Lake Boulevard. The work will include widening Sunfish Lake Boulevard to two lanes <br />in each direction plus turn lanes to and from westbound TH 10. <br /> <br />The attached agreement replaces the agreement signed in 1989 for operation of the signal at TH <br />10 and Sunfish Lake Boulevard. The new signal adds emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) <br />which is not present on the current signal. The State is. providing the cabinet and Control <br />Equipment. The lights and poles are included in the Sunfish Lake Boulevard Project Bid by <br />Anoka County. The County Board is scheduled to award the contract to Forest Lake' <br />Contracting at their September 9,2008 meeting. The City will continue to be responsible for <br />maintenance of the signal, we currently use the Anoka County Signal department for this task <br />since we do not have the necessary equipment. <br /> <br />This agreement gives permission for the City, County and their contractors to carry out <br />the necessary work in the MNIDOT right~of-way. <br /> <br />Funding Source: <br /> <br />This work was anticipated in the Master Development Agreement for Ramsey Town <br />Center. The Regional Roadway Improvement Assessments are designated to help pay for <br />these improvements. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached agreement. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to authorize signing the Traffic Control Signal Agreement No. 92644M Between <br />The State Of Minnesota, Department Of Transportation and The City Of Ramsey for <br />TH10 and Sunfish Lake Boulevard. <br /> <br />-115- <br />
