The hump is about 600 feet long and <br />raises 6 feet from the north to the south. The cost to remove the hump would be $130,000 to <br />$150,000 depending on the slope easements. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired as to why the City would be paying for the removal of the hump <br />when it is a State road. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied because the State won't do it. <br /> <br />Ms. Nutter stated that you can't see anyone coming over the hump when turning out of 167th <br />Avenue. She stated that it is a horrible situation because you can't see either direction. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that the intersection of 167th Avenue and T.H. #47 meets <br />warrants for some portions of the day for signalization, but not at ail times. He inquired if there <br />was anything in the process that would consider that there is restricted vision to the south to help <br />justify the light. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson replied no. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimme~Tnan stated that in the future there will be lights at the intersection and <br />inquired if the hump removal could be incorporated with that project by the State. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson replied that he thought it was something that could be brought to <br />State's attention. He noted that he has been in contact with the Hazard Elimination t~.rogram in <br />an attempt to receive a gant, but he has not heard back as of yet. <br /> <br />2O <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/November 19, 2002 <br /> Page 12 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
