BITUMINOUS TRAIL: The parties agree that the construction of the bituminous trail along the north side of the roadway is eligible for federal funds and that the City will contribute all matching funds. This trail location has been agreed to by the City. If this location changes in the future, the additional costs associated with this change will be the responsibility of the City. The parties understand that the cost for the trail includes: bituminous surfacing, aggregate base, excavation (including muck excavation), borrow material (granular and topsoil), and turf establishment. The parties agree Ghat the County will pay for the design of the trail, wetland mitigation required by impacts caused by the trail, the additional right of way and easements required to construct the trail at the proper location, and any removal items, with the exception of soils, required to construct the trail. The parties understand and agree that all future maintenance of the trails, including snow plowing, shall be the sole responsibility of the City. The trail along the north side of CSAH 116 is part of the County Regional Trail System and is eligible for potential funding through the Metropolitan Council's Regional Parks Capital Improvement Program. After the project has been constructed, and a request has been made by the City, the Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department will seek reimbursement for one-half of the City's share for trail construction along CSAH 116. If funds are secured, the_Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department will reimburse the City with the additional funds received, TRAFFIC CONTROL: The parties understand .and agree that CSAH 116 from Tungsten to Magnesium streets will be closed to thru traffic during construction for a period of time, but will always be open residences located in the closure who have no alternative route to their home. This closure will be minimized based on the construction of this segment of CSAH 116 due to deep muck excavation and potential surcharge (to be determined during the design process). The parties agree and understand the cost share for traffic control, pending Federal funding for the city shall be a prorated share based on the city project cost divided by the total project cost. It is understood that Anoka County will use best management practices to limit the amount of time that this segment of roadway is closed. DRNEWAYS: The parties agree that all driveways affected by the Project will be reconstructed in kind with the cost of any upgrades requested by the City, including concrete aprons, to be the responsibility of the City. LANDSCAPING/STREETSCAPING: The parties agree that if the City wishes to include landscaping or streetscape features in the project, they shall be designed in accordance with Anoka County Highway Department Landscape/Streetscape
