CASE #~ <br /> <br />REPORT FROM ROAD AND BRIDGE COMMITTEE <br /> By: Pete Raatikka, city Engineer <br /> <br />The Road and Bridge Committee met at 3:30 p.m., February 3, 1989 <br />at the Ramsey Municipal Center. Members present were Councilman <br />A1 Pearson, Councilman Ken Peterson, and myself. The following <br />items were discussed and recommendations were made for council <br />action. <br /> <br />ITEM ~1: <br /> <br />MSAS Route Changes/Additions <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br /> <br /> I have completed the Annual Certification of Mileage and <br />with the new construction last year, the City is eligible for an <br />additional 1.34 miles of MSAS mileage. <br /> <br /> There are several items pending which could/will effect eh <br />alignment of existing routes. The proposed railroad crossing <br />west of the weigh station and the closing of Puma Street railroad <br />crossing as a public crossing will require realignment of several <br />MSAS routes. If the airport is upgraded, the route connecting to <br />Co. Rd. 116 will have to be changed. The City is also waiting on <br />a response from Anoka on the designation of McKinley Street <br />between Thurston Avenue and the Ramsey boundary as a MSA street. <br />If Anoka designates a MSA Street, Ramsey could designate a MSA <br />street north of the railroad tracks through the industrial area <br />of the City. <br /> <br /> One change that could be made at this time to the MSAS route <br />is the extension of the frontage road between Ramsey Blvd. and <br />Armstrong Blvd. lying south of T.H. No. 10. This would add 1.18 <br />miles of street to the MSAS system. Enclosed is a copy of the <br />MSAS map, thoroughfare plan and the annual certification of <br />mileage. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />The Road and Bridge Com~.ittee recommends the revisions to the <br />MSAS system in the industrial area and around the airport to put <br />ton hold until the future status of the airport is known and a <br />response from the City of Anoka is received. <br /> <br />The Road and Bridge Committee recommends further that the <br />proposed addition of the frontage road between Ramsey Blvd. and <br />Azuustrong Blvd. south of T.H. No. 10 be sent to the District <br />State Aid Engineer for preliminary approval. <br /> <br />IOl <br /> <br /> <br />
