Chairperson Riley asked if the anticipated shift in traffic patterns would cause issues on the other <br />roadways that are anticipated to increase in traffic. <br />Mr. Forslund stated that the shift in traffic would not cause issues on those roads. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that it is nice to have this data and numbers that can be used for <br />comparison in the future. <br />Chairperson Riley asked the next step in the process. <br />Mr. Forslund stated that the County has a capital improvement process, similar to the City. He <br />noted that these improvements are not yet included in the Anoka County CIP, but that the County <br />is constantly updating its system. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the City including projects on its CIP would assist in moving <br />projects up on the County radar. <br />Mr. Forslund commented that they do listen to the cities, noting that this study was completed <br />because of input and requests from the City of Ramsey. <br />Chairperson Riley thanked Mr. Forslund for attending and providing input. <br />5.02: Consider Recommending City Council Approval of Ordering Requests for Proposals <br />for 2023 Capital Improvement Program Project Topographic Surveys, Geotechnical <br />Services, Utility Testing, and Engineering Services <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek presented the staff report and stated that staff recommends City <br />Council approval of ordering Requests for Proposals for 2024 Capital Improvement Program <br />Project Topographic Surveys, Geotechnical Services, Utility Testing and Engineering Services. <br />Chairperson Riley commented that it would make sense to attempt to coordinate with Nowthen on <br />the streets that continue into that community. He asked if these were the streets in the worst <br />condition that were included for 2024. <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek confirmed that staff used the CIP and list of streets within the <br />City's plan in attempt to tackle those in the worst condition while also addressing roads that could <br />still receive an overlay. <br />Chairperson Riley asked if the winter conditions changed anything, or whether there needs to be <br />flexibility. <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek stated that the CIP is reviewed every year and some tweaking <br />is done to the projects, while the goal is to not move projects backs. He stated that sometimes they <br />can include an additional road. He stated that staff believes that this would max out what they <br />could do within the year, based on staffing levels and funding. <br />Public Works Committee / March 21, 2023 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
