The parties to this Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) agree in principle that construction of County State Aid Project No. 02-716-11 collectively referred to as the "Project" is in the best interest of the traveling public and that the Preliminary Layout as shown in Exhibit "A" defines the preliminary design of the Project. It is agreed that the Exhibit "A" Layout dated October 27, 2009 has been reviewed and accepted by the parties and is suitable for preparation of final construction documents. Any significant changes made hereafter to the design as presented in the Exhibit "A" Layout will require approval by the parties as an amendment to this JPA. These same changes will require a change in the cost share to include any additional design engineering costs that may occur. IMPROVEMENTS: It is agreed by the parties that in 2011 CSAH 116 will be reconstructed to a 4-lane section with concrete median to the extent shown in "Exhibit A". Improvements include but are not limited to: traffic signals, right and left turn lanes, thru lanes, curb & gutter, storm sewer with associated ponding, bituminous trail and potential noisewalls upon the findings of the noise study. INTERSECTIONS: As agreed by the parties, improvements to the following intersections have been incorporated in the Exhibit "A" Layout design: CSAH 116 / Basalt: Full Access with this project CSAH 116 / Azurite Street NW: Full Access with this project. CSAH 116 / CSAH 57: Full Access Intersection with Traffic Signal CSAH 116 / Wolfram Street NW: Right In / Right Out. CSAH 116 / Unity Street NW: Right In / Right Out. [The City has requested a left turn lane from westbound CSAH 116 to southbound Unity Street to be included with this project. The City has the opportunity to prepare a traffic engineering study to determine if this median opening would provide benefit to the county roadway system. If the study concludes that it does provide benefit, this left turn could be included with this project, pending county approval of the study.] After review of the access study prepared by SEH showing minimal benefit to the County roadway, the left turn was approved from westbound CSAH 116 to Unity St, as documented in the letter dated April 20, 2010. CSAH 116 / Tungsten Street NW: Right In / Right Out. CSAH 116 / Magnesium Street NW: Full Access. CSAH 116 / Krypton Street NW: Right In / Right Out CSAH 116 / Iodine Street NW: Right In/ Right Out CSAH 116 / Germanium Street NW: Right In / Right Out
