Chairperson Riley noted that would be the decision of the County and he would not want the City <br /> to make that ask. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the County would be asking for funding from the City for this <br /> study. <br /> City Engineer Westby replied that if the work is done in-house by the County, he would not expect <br /> a request for funding from the City. He stated that if a consultant is used, perhaps a request could <br /> be made to the City. He noted that if the City requested an expanded study area,past Alpine Drive, <br /> he would expect the County might use a consultant and request funds from the City. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Musgrove, seconded by Councilmember Woestehoff, to recommend <br /> City Council approval to adopt a resolution requesting that Anoka County complete a traffic study <br /> for CSAH 5 between TH 47 and Alpine Drive. <br /> Further discussion: Chairperson Riley noted that the City does not make this type of request to the <br /> County often, so perhaps this will emphasize the importance. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Musgrove and Woestehoff. <br /> Voting No: None. <br /> 6. COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT (Continued) <br /> 6.02: Staff Updates on Improvement Projects and Items of Interest <br /> City Engineer Westby provided updates on current and proposed City, County and MnDOT <br /> improvement projects and studies and on other items of interest to the Committee. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked and received confirmation that the County is moving forward with the <br /> proposed interim improvements to Bunker Lake Boulevard between Armstrong Boulevard and <br /> Sunfish Lake Boulevard and asked for input on the section between Ramsey Boulevard and <br /> Armstrong Boulevard. <br /> City Engineer Westby replied that turn lanes are being proposed at each of the public street <br /> intersections as part of this late fall project. He confirmed that initially the City was supposed to <br /> be responsible for paying for the permanent improvements per the adopted RTC JPA, but since <br /> the County is now completing these interim improvements, discussions with the County related to <br /> amending the RTC JPA seem to be in order. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked if it is known as to why there is more train traffic on the tracks. <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied that they are completing track maintenance. <br /> 6.03: Review Future Topics Calendar <br /> Public Works Committee/June 15, 2021 <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br />
