4110 <br /> - � Howard R. Green Company <br /> CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> April 23, 1999 <br /> File: 230353M-0325 <br /> Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> P.O. Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> RE: MUNICIPAL STATE AID REVOCATIONS AND DESIGNATIONS <br /> Dear Council Members: <br /> Recent development activities in the City have left the Municipal State Aid System with 0.96 <br /> miles of available Municipal State Aid designation to put on the City's system. <br /> • It is to the City's advantage to maximize the number of City streets that are designated as <br /> Municipal State Aid routes, as the amount of Municipal State Aid Construction and Maintenance <br /> funds is based on the miles of streets designated. Currently, the City has 24.54 miles of streets <br /> designated as Municipal State Aid routes. <br /> As has been the practice in the past, we are recommending that the designated route follow the <br /> City's Transportation Plan. Specifically, we are recommending designating a route that initiates <br /> at the intersection of Trunk Highway (TH) 10 and 165th Avenue to a point 1.06 miles east along <br /> 165th Avenue. This route connects TH 10 via 165th Avenue to Route F of the Transportation <br /> Plan. Route F was designated as an MSA route in 1997 and extends south along Fillmore <br /> Street from 175th Avenue to 165th Avenue, then east to Jarvis Street, then south again to TH 10. <br /> This route designation will require 1.06 miles of Municipal State Aid designation. To accomplish <br /> this, we are recommending that the two segments of Baldwin Avenue between 5th Street and 3rd <br /> Street, and 3rd Street and Main Street be removed from the State Aid system and re-designated <br /> in this area. This route is scheduled to be reconstructed this year as a part of the Eastern Area <br /> Phase I Improvements without the use of Municipal State Aid dollars. If this route remains on <br /> the Municipal State Aid System, construction funds will be lost because of the upgrade of the <br /> street. <br /> O:\PROJ\230353M\0325\2106.apr99.doc <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br />
