Public Works Committee 6. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 07/15/2014 <br />By: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public <br />Works <br />Title: <br />Update on Ramsey Blvd/149th Ave Pedestrian Crossing <br />Purpose/Background: <br />With the recent reconstruction of Ramsey Blvd between Nowthen Blvd and Bunker Lake Blvd the original <br />crosswalk near Ramsey Market has been removed. City has tried for several years, unsuccessfully, to get it moved <br />south to 149th Ave location where we have a trail system in place that would need to be modified, but would be a <br />more logical location for a crosswalk. The modifications to accomplish the move could cost $6,000.00-$7,000.00 <br />(ped. ramps, culvert extensions, trail extensions, etc...) The county has shown a willingness to re -install the <br />crosswalk at the new location, but the city would be responsible for the cost of the updates. <br />Timeframe: <br />5 minutes <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />There is high density development on the west side of Ramsey Blvd with a small market/gas station and a park on <br />the eastside of the Ramsey Blvd creating the potential for consistent pedestrian traffic. Staff feels there is a need to <br />reinstall the crosswalk at the new location. <br />Funding Source: <br />Trail dedication fund <br />Recommendation: <br />Work with Anoka County Highway to reinstall the crosswalk at it's new location (Ramsey Blvd/149th Ave) <br />Action: <br />Direction to work with Anoka County Highway to reinstall the crosswalk at it's new location (Ramsey Blvd/149th <br />Ave) <br />No file(s) attached. <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 07/09/2014 03:06 PM <br />Form Started By: Grant Riemer Started On: 07/07/2014 09:29 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 07/09/2014 <br />
