RB CASE <br /> <br />UPDATE ON T.H. g47 PROJECTS <br />By: Steve Jankowskl, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br /> At the December 16, 1997 Road and Bridge Committee meeting, a report was made on the <br /> results of a ~)ecember 10, 1997 meeting held with MnDOT, Mayor Gamec, Councilmember <br /> Haas Steffen ~and I. The following issues were clarified: <br /> <br />1) The ~I30cal Initiative Project has been transferred by MnDOT from Fiscal Year (FY) 1998 <br /> to ~ 1999. This gives the City the opportunity to let a construction contract after the <br /> June $0, 1998 deadline, if it so chooses. <br />2) The n/ill and overlay project which was previously reported as being scheduled for spring <br /> 1999,1has been pushed back to spring 2000. <br />3) The d;ost :of the mill and overlay project is estimated to be $500,000 with roughly <br /> $100,000 attributable to that portion which would be covered by the STP project. A <br /> detertflination has not been made as to whether MnDOT would apply the $100,000 <br /> savings tothe STP project. <br />4) AcceS~ control was discussed at length. The STP project would create four full <br /> moVefiaent intersections at 142nd Avenue, C.S.A.H. #5/Xkimo Street, 149th Avenue, and <br /> I53rd[i Avenue. The Cobalt/149th Lane intersection would have a raised median <br /> prohibiting left tums. The 152nd Avenue intersection would remain in its existing status <br /> but WOuld' be eliminated when another outlet for the neighborhood could be provided to <br /> the w~st. Three existing residences would continue to have direct access to the highway <br /> after t~e STP project. Finally, MnDOT agreed to continue to work with the City on the <br /> acces~ issues associated with the undeveloped parcels relative to the STP project. <br /> <br />Subsequent t¢ this meeting, a meeting was held with City officials and property owners Art <br />Raudio and Rick Foster. A copy of the minutes of that meeting are attached. It was the <br />consensus of Mayor Gamee and Councilmember Haas Steffen that no action would be taken until <br />notice of the ~STP project award was made. It is anticipated that this announcement will occur <br />before January 20, 1998, the date of the Road and Bridge Committee meeting. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />If award is received by the time of the meeting, the Road and Bridge Committee may wish to <br />review the award and make a recommendation to City Council regarding its acceptance. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Enginee~ <br />City AttorneY <br />Acting City Administrator <br />R&B: 01/27~8 <br /> <br />jmt/TH47.doc <br /> <br />I/ t,, <br /> <br /> <br />
