COUNTY OF ANOKA Public Services Division HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 1440 BUNKER LAKE BLVD ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 NW, (612) 754-3520 FAX (612) 754-3532 I I I ,I I I I I I I I MEMORANDUM TO: City Managers May 18, 1995 City Clerks Township Boards Public Works Directors City Engineers County Engineers FROM: ('"k~) Jon G. Olson, PE Anoka County Engineer REGARDINg: 1996-2000 5 Year Highway Improvement Plan Please find enclosed, a copy of the 1996-2000 5 Year Highway Improvement Plan for the AnokaCounty Highway Department. This Plan was adopted by the County Board on April 25, 1995. The Plan also includes the 1995 component of the Highway Department Budget for informational pur~.oses only. Much of this work is already underway. The Plan also includes, a detmled listing for improvements to the Anoka County Highway System for the years 1996 thru the year 2000. This document is to be used only as a planning document and is not a commitment on the part of Anoka County to fund projects in the year shown in the plan. No project is funded in the Anoka County System until the budget is approved by the Anoka County Board in December proceeding any budget cycle. For example, the 1996 component of this plan will not be approved until December of 1995. However, the 5 Year Plan does give the Department direction as to which projects should be pursued through the Environmental design and Right-of-Way processes so that they can be constructed in the year budgeted. Please notice that this Plan is based on existing levels of funding and the assumption that other interested parties will be able to fund their portion of the work in the years budgeted. Several projects assume that additional outside funding will become available and/or that Mn/DOT will have significant participation in some projects. Lacking the participation of local units of government and/or Mn/DOT in any of those projects would undoubtedly cause delays in the years anticipated for construction. In determining the content of this 5 Year Plan, the Anoka County Board has determined that the primary goal of the Anoka County Highway Department is first to preserve the existing system against further deterioration. The second priority is to manage the system which exists in the most efficient manner possible to the betterment of the travelling public and the third area of emphasis is on expanding the Anoka County HighW. ay System in an effort to keep up with public demand and the expansion of road usage tn the Anoka County area.
