AGENDA ROAD & BRIDGE COMMITTEE MEETING Date/Time: 3:30 P.M., Friday, February 3, 1989 Location: city Hall By: Pete Raatikka Business: CASE #1: MSAS Route Changes/Additions BACKGROUND: I have completed the Annual Certification of Mileage and with the new construction last year, the City is eligible for an additional 1.34 miles of MSAS mileage. There are several items pending which could/will effect the alignment of existing routes. The proposed railroad crossing west of the weigh station and the closing of Puma Street railroad crossing as a public crossing will require realignment of several MSAS routes. If the airport is upgraded, the route connecting to Co. Rd. 116 will have to be changed. The City is also waiting on a response from Anoka on the designation of McKinley Street between Thurston Avenue and the Ramsey boundary as a MSA street° If Anoka designates a MSA Street, Ramsey could designate a MSA street north of the railroad tracks through the industrial area of the City. I would recommend that the revisions to the MSAS system in the industrial area and around the airport be put on hold until the future status of the airport is knSwn and a response from the City of Anoka is received. Two possible changes to the MSAS system which would add mileage are a frontage road south of T.H. No. 10 between Ramsey Blvd and Armstrong Blvd. or a realignment of Route 104 and extending it to 153rd Avenue N.W. If Route 104 is realigned, the Puma railroad crossing should be deleted and this change would only result in a net increase of 0.21 miles to the MSAS system. The extension of the frontage road between Ramsey Blvd and Armstrong Blvd would result in an increase of 1.18 miles to the MSAS system. Based on this years apportionment, the average mile on Ramsey's MSAS system received $14,143 in MSAS funds. Therefore, I would recommend the addition of the frontage road south of T.H. No. 10 since it would bring the City MSAS mileage to within 0.16 miles of the maximum allowed.
