'1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I January 11, 1996 Mr. Steve Jankowski Page Two luminaires at the mainline signal poles, international pedestrian indications, loop detection within non-metallic conduit, mast arm and pole signing, and appropriate pavement markings. An advanced warning flasher shall be installed for the eastbound traffic on T.H.10. The signal system shall employ a preemption system for the railroad crossing which will clear the railroad tracks prior to a train crossing. The enalosed preliminary plans are for your review/comment. The Department intends to provide a pedestrian crossing for the east leg oflthe intersection (crossing T.H.iO) with all appropriate signing and pavement markings. The signal shall be designed such that pedestrian crossings required in the future can be added as appropriate. Please indiaate if there are any ~oncerns regarding the planned pedestrian crossing. For your information, as part of the standard construction of the new signal system, the Department will install conductors to the signal poles for the operation of an emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) system. If the City of Ramsey requests the complete installation of the EVP system, the cabinet components, mast arm detectors and confirmatory lights shall be added to create a complete operating system for emergency vehicles' use. If installed, the Department will participate in the cost and will provide major maintenance for the system. Anoka County shall not participate in the installation costs of an EVP system, therefore the costs would be divided between the Department and the city, as shown on the attached chart. Please respond whether the City of Ramsey is interested in the installation of this system at this time. In accordance with the Department's policy on advanced warning flashers and beacons, the revision to the signal system at T.H.10 and C.R.56 (Ramsey Blvd.) involves removing the inplace beacons for both eastbound and westbound T.H.10. As part of the revision to the signal system, an EVP system can be added to the system. The Department shall again participate in the cost of the EVP system. The cost participation is presented on the attached chart. Please respond whether the City of Ramsey is interested in the installation of this system at this time. An option also exists to install light emitting diodes (LED's) for the red indications for the signal systems. While initial construction cost is slightly higher than the incandescent indications currently used, the monthly power costs are drastically lower (150 Watt reduced to less than 25 Watt) and the relamping responsibilities decrease. (The Department shall assume the relamping responsibilities for the first ,s~ years of operation.)
