! ! CASE TRUNK HIGHWAY #47 CORRIDOR STUDY PROJECT By: Steven J. Jankowski, City Engineer Background: Since October of 1995, the City has been working with the SRF Consulting Group, Minnesota Department of Transportation, and Anoka County Highway Department to prepare an access and corridor study for the segment of Trunk Highway #47 from the Anoka City Limits to 167th Avenue. At this time a preliminary draft of the study has been prepared. This study documents the extent of safety problems and roadway deficiencies along the study corridor and recommends improvements to mitigate these problems. The study also includes an evaluation of existing access conditions and future access needs. A public information meeting was held on January 17, 1996 to obtain citizen input on the study. A draft report summarizes the major concerns expressed at that meeting and has included a response section in the report. At this · · time, I would proposed that the City take the following steps to finalize the study: Accept the draft report to the City Council for review (under separate cover). Make the draft report available at City Hall and the local library for a period of thirty (30) days for public review. · Notify the property owners adjacent to the study area of the availability of the project report. · Transmit the report to Mn/DOT and Anoka County Highway Dept. for formal comment. · Schedule a formal/pre/s~Jfil~tioxn by the consultant and formal public hearing before the City Council at the~'~~ ~996 meeting. ~~ · Direct any changes a~'a_.r_~sul_~6fthe public hearing. · Adopt corridor study in April 1996. Council Action: Motion to accept draft report. Reviewed by: City Administrator Zoning Administrator CC:02/27/96 /ccr
