RB CASE <br /> <br />UPDATE ON T.H. #47 PROJECTS <br />By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the December 16, 1997 Road and Bridge Committee meeting, a report was made on the <br />results of a December 10, 1997 meeting held with MnDOT, Mayor Gamec, Councilmember <br />Haas Steffen and I. The following issues were clarified: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />3) <br /> <br />4) <br /> <br />The Local Initiative Project has been transferred by MnDOT from Fiscal Year (FY) 1998 <br />to FY 1999. This gives the City the opportunity to let a construction contract after the <br />June 30, 1998 deadline, if it so chooses. <br />The mill and overlay project which was previously reported as being scheduled for spring <br />1999, has been pushed back to spring 2000. <br />The cost of the mill and overlay project is estimated to be $500,000 with roughly <br />$100,000 attributable to that portion which would be covered by the STP project. A <br />determination has not been made as to whether MnDOT would apply the $100,000 <br />savings to the STP project. <br />Access control was discussed at length. The STP project would create four full <br />movement intersections at 142nd Avenue, C.S.A.H. #5/Xkimo Street, 149th Avenue, and <br />I53rd Avenue. The Cobalt/149th Lane intersection would have a raised median <br />prohibiting left tums. The 152nd Avenue intersection would remain in its existing status <br />but would be eliminated when another outlet for the neighborhood could be provided to <br />the west. Three existing residences would continue to have direct access to the highway <br />after the STP project. Finally, MnDOT agreed to continue to work with the City on the <br />access issues associated with the undeveloped parcels relative to the STP project. <br /> <br />Subsequent to this meeting, a meeting was held with City officials and property owners Art <br />Raudio and Rick Foster. A copy of the minutes of that meeting are attached. It was the <br />consensus of Mayor Gamec and Councilmember Haas Steffen that no action would be taken until <br />notice of the STP project award was made. It is anticipated that this announcement will occur <br />before January 20, 1998, the date of the Road and Bridge Committee meeting. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />If award is received by the time of the meeting, the Road and Bridge Committee may wish to <br />review the award and make a recommendation to City Council regarding its acceptance. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br />City Attorney <br />Acting City Administrator <br />R&B: 01/27/98 <br /> <br />jmt/TH47, doc <br /> <br /> <br />
