PW CASE # 1 <br /> <br />POTENTIAL RUM RIVER TRANSPORTATION CROSSING <br /> By: Steven J. Jankowski <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Staff was directed to review the concept of a bridge crossing of the Rum River in the <br />proximity of the Boy Scout Camp. <br /> <br />Observation: <br /> <br />In 1993 a Comprehensive Plan update was prepared by RLK Associates, Inc. Between <br />January 1995 and February 1996 work was conducted on the transportation element of <br />this plan by Biko Associates, a sub contractor to RLK, Inc. Attached is a memorandum <br />prepared by Biko, which addresses several elements which relate to the major <br />transportation issues of this plan, including the crossing of the Rum River. Also attached <br />is testimony presented at the public hearing held on the plan in March of 1995. After this <br />public hearing, the crossing was eliminated from further considerations. <br /> <br />A map illustrating the area surrounding the Boy Scout Camp is attached. Several <br />considerations are offered. <br /> <br />(1) 160TM Lane and T.H. 47 is identified as a future signalized crossing <br /> according to the Highway 47 corridor study. <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />159th Avenue on the Andover side of the river is a collector street, which <br />would feed directly into CR 58, and indirectly into CR 20. <br /> <br />(3) Elmcrest Park will soon provide another traffic destination in the area. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Based on discussion <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Director of Public Works <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br />Street Maintenance Supervisor <br /> <br />PW: 10/16/01 <br /> <br /> <br />
