City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report related to the proposed Alpine and Armstrong <br />intersection improvement. <br />Councilmember Riley asked why the timeline is delayed, noting the recent accidents at that <br />location. <br />City Engineer Westby explained that the funding application was for 2022/2023 funds and the <br />application specified 2023 construction. He noted that projects can be advanced and therefore <br />that opportunity may exist and could be pursued through discussions with Anoka County. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he would be interested in investigating the option to advance <br />the project. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she travels that intersection daily and it is difficult to come <br />off Alpine onto Armstrong and would agree with attempting to advance the project. <br />City Engineer Westby continued to review the staff report related to the proposed Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard and Highway 47 intersection. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that these improvements will be very helpful as a lot of traffic <br />moves through that area. <br />Mayor LeTourneau stated that he is also excited, as this is a needed improvement. He believed <br />that it would make sense to move this forward as described to get ahead of the Highway 10 <br />construction. He noted that could be another reason to move the Alpine/Armstrong project <br />ahead as well. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the City of Anoka has been working on <br />improvement concepts for the railroad crossing on Ferry Street as well as improvements on <br />Highway 47 to Bunker Lake Boulevard that should be made available for comment in September <br />or October. <br />Councilmember Riley asked if Ramsey could have input prior to sharing those concepts to the <br />public. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that staff will ask the question again to Anoka <br />but noted that sometimes, other municipalities do not want to share their concepts earlier in the <br />process, as the other municipality may not agree. <br />3.
