Observations: If Staff is directed by the City Council to pursue FYA improvements at the intersection of Sunwood Drive & Ramsey Boulevard/CSAH 56, Staff will need to work with Anoka County to prepare plans and specifications to allow this work to be added to Anoka County's 2022 FYA improvement projects. The first step in this process would be to request a proposal from SEH, Inc. for preparing plans and specifications. Staff previously questioned whether traffic volumes and patterns will change significantly enough after grade separation improvements occur on CSAH 56/Ramsey Boulevard at the BNSF Railway and US Highway 10 to cause FYA improvements to no longer be warranted. Staff recently asked the Anoka County Traffic Engineer this question and was informed that she did not think the County would request FYA improvements to be removed, and that at most the hours of operation may need to be adjusted. Alternatives: Alternative #1 — Motion recommending City Council approval to request a proposal from SEH, Inc. to prepare plans and specifications for Flashing Yellow Arrow improvements to the signal system at the intersection of Sunwood Drive and Ramsey Boulevard/CSAH 56. Alternative #2 — Motion recommending City Council denial to request a proposal from SEH, Inc. to prepare plans and specifications for Flashing Yellow Arrow improvements to the signal system at the intersection of Sunwood Drive and Ramsey Boulevard/CSAH 56. Alternative #3 — Motion of other. Funding Source: Dependent on discussions. Recommendation: Staff does not have a specific recommendation to offer at this time. Action: Dependent on discussions.
