Howard R, Green Company Item~ 4.13 October 8, 2001 File: 230000M-0325 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway P.O. Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330-0490 RE: CITY ENGINEER REPORT ON PROJECT STATUS Dear Council Members: There are a few specific items that I would like to take the time to update the City Council on at tonight's meeting. They are as follows: 1. TH 10 Corridor Study The consultants for this MnDOT study are preparing preliminary recommendations. They include a freeway standard design from 1-35W to TH 169 in the City of Elk River. From TH 169 to the west, the proposal is to have an expressway with significantly less signals than are currently on TH 10 or may be in the future. I will be prepared to discuss this further with the City Council and look for your concurrence with questions. 2. TH 169 / TH 101 Corridor Study Likewise with the TH 169 Corddor Study being prepared by consultants from MnDOT, the consultant is prepared to offer preliminary findings. As with the TH 10 study, the recommendation from the consultant is going to be to have TH 169/TH 101 be a freeway design standard from the City of Rogers at 1-94 through the City of Elk River. I have some preliminary drawings that will show potential access points in the City of Elk River, and I will present these at Monday evening's meeting. 3. TH 169 Advance Warning Flashers We have received a copy of a set of plans prepared by MnDOT and to be let on November 19, 2001. Included in that set of plans is advance warning flashers for the intersections of Main Street, School Street, Jackson Avenue, and 197th Avenue on TH 169. As you are aware, the advance warning flashers are the signs which indicate be prepared to stop when the lights are flashing. I will be prepared to discuss this further with the City Council at Monday evening's meeting.
