Also the segment between County Road #83 and Highway #10 at the western edge of Ramsey, has existed for a number of years. What remains to be completed is the segment between Variolite Street N.W. and County Road #83. It is contemplated that acquisition of the property be provided for by the MSA and park portion of Landfill Trust Fund interest. The park allocation is suggested in that in addition to right-of-way acquisition, it is intended that all of the wetland area south of the right-of-way be purchased for eventual nature preserve. As was the case in the 1991 improvement, the MSA fund will provide for the entire cost of the roadway. It is suggested that, in addition to the roadway, an off-road trail be completed as an MSA eligible project expense. It is projected that the acquisition occur in 1996 with construction in 1997. This will complete the crosstown that exists between Roanoke Street N.W., east of Trunk Highway #47 through the community to Highway #10, a distance of over six miles. This project has increased in cost fairly . dramatically. After completion of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet, the City altered the alignment to avoid a protected wetland. Costs further increased to mitigate potential impacts on habitat. Project scope was expanded to provide the off roadway trail as a pedestrian safety enhancement. Pro j ect Property Acquisition Year Fundine 1996 $ 80,000 - MSA $ 712,000 - MSA . $ 792,000 Construction (includes roadside trail) 1997 S-3 - McKinley Street Projects McKinley Street, upon its completion, will function as a frontage road for the north side of Highway #10, and will also provide major access for the commercial and industrial property between the railroad tracts and County Road #116. The segment of this roadway between County Road #57 and Uranium Street was constructed in 1995 and land acquisition has also been initiated for segments between Jaspar Street and County Road #57. It is anticipated that this project will be funded by a combination of Tax increment, MSA funding and Assessments. -371-
