PAUL WASECA ITEM 4.9. April 3, 1997 File: 230-353-90 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway P.O. Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330 RE: MUNICIPAL STATE AID DESIGNATIONS AND REVOCATIONS Dear Council Members: Recent development activities in the City have left the Municipal State Aid System with 1.22 miles of available Municipal State Aid designation to put on the City's system. As has been the practice in the last few years, we are recommending that the designated route follow the Draft Transportation Plan. Specifically, we are recommending designating a route that initiates at the intersection of Fillmore Street and 175th Avenue. It goes directly south from that location to 165t~ Avenue, then east to Jarvis Street, then south again to TH 10. This was designated Route F on the exhibit from the Draft Transportation Plan. This route designation will require approximately 2.4 miles of Municipal State Aid designation. To accomplish this, we are recommending that three routes be removed from the State Aid system and redesignated in this area. The first one is Lowell Avenue between Main Street and TH 10. Moving this route makes sense, since the City is planning to reconstruct this segment of road in 1997 without the use of Municipal State Aid dollars. If we leave that designation on Lowell Avenue, we will lose construction funds because the City will have upgraded the street. The second route we are suggesting removing from the MSA system is Dodge Street from Elk Hills Drive to 193rd Avenue. As you are aware, this area is entirely developed; therefore, there is no possibility of ever constructing this route. The third segment we are suggesting removing is the extension of 193rd Avenue from Tyler Street to CSAH 13. At some point, this route may be constructed. At that time, we can always redesignate this segment, but at this time we believe it makes more sense to take the designation off this location and move it to the Jarvis Street alignment. Attached are two resolutions for the Council's consideration. The first one revokes the three existing designations discussed above. The second resolution designates the new alignment. I have also attached a map which shows the location of the routes to be removed from the State Aid system and the new route to be designated. An Equal Opportunity Employer
