No offers can be extended for the acquisition of property until this project milestone <br />occurs. The single issue responsible for this impasse concerns the signalization of T.H. #47 and <br />142nd Avenue. <br /> <br />A meeting has been scheduled between MnDOT and City officials and its consultants for <br />Monday, November 23, at 1:00 p.m. A report on the outcome of that meeting will be delivered <br />at the Council meeting. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Based on discussion. <br /> <br />2) Request for a Stop Sign at 144th Lane and Tungsten Way <br /> <br />City staff has gathered information regarding the accident history, site distances, and some traffic <br />counts. Since no one from the neighborhood was able to be present, the Committee tabled the <br />case so that a dialogue with the residents could be held prior to taking action, and also to allow <br />for additional traffic counts and a speed study. The case will be scheduled for the December 15 <br />Road and Bridge Committee meeting at 5:00 p.m., and the petitioners have been notified of this <br />action. <br /> <br />No Council action is necessary at this time. <br /> <br />3) Report on Proposed C.R. #116 Improvement Project <br /> <br />A meeting was held which included the City of Ramsey, City of Anoka, and Anoka County <br />regarding the potential expansion of C.R./ti 16 between T.H. #47 and C.R. #57 (Sunfish Lake <br />Boulevard) to a four-lane divided median road. The final step toward such an improvement <br />would be to prepare a corridor study which, in addition to identifying improvements, access <br />control, and costs, would also include a public participation element. The cost of such a study is <br />estimated to be in the range of $20,000 to $40,000. Anoka County would participate financially <br />with 50% of the study cost. <br /> <br />13'7 <br /> <br /> <br />
