Anoka County expects to receive final studies for each intersection in early 2022 to allow construction to occur in the summer/fall of 2022. Anoka County is not proposing to complete FYA improvements to any signal systems in the City of Ramsey in 2022. FYA Improvements at Sunwood Drive & Ramsey Boulevard/CSAH 56 During the regular City Council meeting on September 22, 2020, the City Council received a request from a resident to install FYA's at the intersection of Sunwood Drive & Ramsey Boulevard/CSAH 56. The resident stated that he frequently waits at this signal system to turn left when no vehicles are approaching from the other direction. In 2017, the City of Ramsey worked with Anoka County to install FYA improvements at the intersection of Armstrong Boulevard/CSAH 83 and Sunwood Drive/147th Avenue. To start this process, Anoka County instructed the City to hire SEH, Inc. to complete a feasibility study for modifying the signal system to include FYA operations, including estimating costs to modify the signal system to include FYA operations and to prepare plans and specifications for constructing the FYA improvements. The cost for this study was $1,700. The current estimated cost to complete a feasibility study for one intersection is around $1,800 if counts are available, and $3,500 if SEH, Inc. must collect traffic counts. Staff can provide traffic counts so the $1,800 estimate is valid. If Council directs Staff to pursue this, Staff will direct SEH to submit a proposal to study the feasibility of modifying the signal system at the intersection of Sunwood Drive and Ramsey Boulevard/CSAH 56 to add flashing yellow arrow operations. If the proposal states they can complete the work at a not -to -exceed cost of $1,800 Staff will direct SEH to begin the work and begin working with Anoka County to add this work to Anoka County's 2022 FYA improvement projects, pending all required future City Council approvals. Notification: No notifications are required for this case. Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: Alternative #1 — Motion to adopt Resolution #21-302 authorizing SEH, Inc. to complete a Feasibility Study for Flashing Yellow Arrow Improvements to the signal system at the intersection of Sunwood Drive and Ramsey Boulevard/CSAH 56. Alternative #2 — Motion of other. Funding Source:
