Minnesota Department of Transportation <br /> <br />Metropolitan Division <br /> <br />Waters Edge <br />I500 West County Road B2 <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />December 20, 1999 <br /> <br />Douglas Rasmussen <br />SKF Consulting Group, Inc. <br />One Carlson Parkway, Suite 150 <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55447-4443 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Rasmussen: <br /> <br />This letter is a response to a Signal Justification Report we received from you, dated <br />November 3, 1999 for the TH 47 / 142"d Street intersection. <br /> <br />At this time Mn)~D~)~' d0eS'-~ thii~~ ~h~re-'i~- SUfficient justification for us to support the <br />installation of a signal at this location. We believe it would be prudent of us to wait until-the <br />reconstruction project on TH 47 (scheduled for the summer of 2000) is completed, at which <br />time the traffic patterns can be reassessed. As you are probably aware, the project next <br />summer will include the installation of a signal at the realigned intersection of CSAH 5/Xkim0 <br />Street. <br /> <br />i Because of the close proximity of CSAH 116 and CSAH 5/Xkimo Street to 142"d Street, we <br /> would encourage the City to consider closing the center median at 142nd Street. This would <br /> ensure adequate spacing between signalized intersections and improve the safety and the floW <br />L.affic in this area. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call Dave Engstrom at <br />651-634-2151. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Allan E. Pint, P.E. <br />Division Traffic Engineer <br /> <br />cc: Steve Jankows.ki, City of Ramsey <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />An equal opportunity employer <br /> <br /> <br />
