February 17, 1999 Mr. Jon Olson Anoka County Engineer 1440 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW Andover, MN 55303 Re: 1999 County Highway Construction Schedule Dear Mr. Olson: Please accept this letter as the City's support for the following candidate projects on County roads within the City of Ramsey during the 1999 construction season. The City of Ramsey continues to be extremely supportive of the installation of traffic signals at C.S.A.H. #116 (Industry Avenue) at Dysprosium Street/Thurston Avenue. Traffic continues to increase at this intersection with the development of the nearby Ramsey and Anoka industrial parks. The City encourages the reconstruction of C.R. #83 from C.R. #63 to C.R. #22. It is our understanding that this project will be a part of the 1999 construction activities. Please advise if this is not the case. The City of Ramsey would also strongly encourage both C.R. #56 and C.R. #57 for inclusion in the County's 1999 overlaying program. Although not a construction activity, the City of Ramsey continues to be very interested in partnering with Anoka County and the City of Anoka to undertake a corridor study of C.R. #116 such that the segment between T.H. #47 and C.R. #57 can be upgraded to a four-lane, divided highway at the earliest opportunity. The City of Ramsey is interested in initiating this study as soon as possible. The City of Ramsey is requesting the County to act as lead agency in arranging for the preparation of this study and the Joint Powers Agreement to facilitate the study financing. Sincerely, CITY OF RAMSEY Steven J. Jankowski, P.E. City Engineer SJJ/jmk cc: Dennis Berg, Anoka County Commissioner I I I I I I' I I I I I I I I I
