Anoka County Improvement Projects <br />• Foley Boulevard/CSAH 11 Grade Separation @ BNSF Railway Crossing <br />. Project is currently unfunded <br />MnDOT Improvement Projects <br />• Ferry Street / Trunk Highway 47 Grade Separation @ BNSF Railway Crossing (2017) <br />• Preliminary design on hold <br />• Exploring realignment of Highway 47 to remove S-curve at fair grounds <br />• Ramsey Staff will continue tracking this project <br />• MnDOT considering combining with other Highway 10 improvements <br />Items of Interest <br />• Ground Penetrating Radar vs. Pavement Cores <br />. Staff has followed up on the Committee's direction to pursue the use of GPR vs. pavement cores to <br />verify constructed pavement sections. Based on proposal costs received from Braun Intertec, GPR data <br />could be completed on pavement sections to determine pavement and aggregate base depths on a per <br />foot basis along a one -mile section of new/reconstructed streets at an approximate cost of $2,000. In <br />comparison, pavement cores could be completed on a one -mile section of new/reconstructed streets <br />would cost approximately $1,200. Though the cost difference is significant ($800), Staff believes the <br />benefit received from the additional data as related to programming future pavement management <br />projects using the GPR data justifies the additional expense. Staff therefore recommends proceeding <br />with collecting GPR data on all three of the 2018 street reconstruction projects at an estimated cost of <br />$3,550. These costs are included under the indirect project cost calculations and would be paid for <br />through project bond funds. <br />• Northwest Metro Regional Surface Water Supply Study <br />. Resolutions of Support were adopted by the cities of Corcoran, Dayton, Ramsey and Rogers in late <br />October. Executed copies of all four resolutions were submitted to Staff from the Metropolitan <br />Council's Water Supply Unit on November . No word has been received yet on when the study will <br />begin, which engineering consulting firm will complete the study, how much it will cost, or what the <br />schedule will be. Staff will provide regular updates on the status of the study to the Public Works <br />Committee and the City Council. <br />Timeframe: <br />Staff estimates 5 minutes will be needed for updates and discussion. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />NA <br />Funding Source: <br />NA <br />Recommendation: <br />NA <br />Action: <br />No formal action required.
