CC Work Session 2. 3. <br />Meeting Date: 08/09/2011 <br />By: Tim Himmer, Engineering/Public <br />Works <br />Title: <br />Consider Application for MnDOT Cooperative Agreement Program Related to the Future Armstrong Boulevard <br />and TH 10 Interchange <br />Background: <br />The TH 10 and Armstrong Boulevard interchange project continues to advance through the environmental <br />assessment process. The proposed frontage road system along the south side of TH 10 includes an extension of <br />Riverdale Drive to Traprock Street (see attached alignment). MnDOT offers a cooperative agreement program, <br />which could fund a portion of this frontage road work if it provides a benefit to their trunk highway system. This <br />program was identified as a potential funding source for a portion of the larger project. <br />We will be scheduling a meeting with MnDOT staff to discuss our anticipated request under this program, and <br />evaluate the frontage road project in relation to the larger scope of improvements being contemplated in this area. <br />Staff wants to discuss this matter with Council; to outline our proposal and address any concerns related to <br />potential roadway reconfigurations and/or access revisions along TH 10. <br />Observations: <br />A City resolution requesting funding under this program is required so, if directed by Council to proceed with an <br />application, an item will be placed on the August 23rd consent agenda. <br />Funding Source: <br />There is no funding request associated with this case but depending on the results of the meeting with MnDOT, <br />staff may request funding in the future to compile and complete the application materials. Once we have an idea of <br />whether MnDOT would be supportive of our potential application we can evaluate what additional work would be <br />necessary to complete the application and come back to Council for consideration of funding (if necessary). <br />Council Action: <br />Based upon discussion. <br />MnDOT Agreement Solicitation <br />Interchange Alignment Plan <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Olson Brian Olson 08/04/2011 02:25 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Amy Dietl 08/04/2011 02:31 PM <br />Form Started By: Tim Himmer Started On: 08/04/2011 11:26 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 08/04/2011 <br />
