Mr. Pat Klaers March 23, 2000 Page Four Western Area Phase 4 Improvements The project was petitioned for by Stewart Wilson and includes Business Center Drive westerly to Waco Street, the realignment of Waco Street to the east, a new intersection with T.H. 10, the signalization of that intersection, the reconstruction of the north frontage road from the new Waco Street intersection easterly to Naples Street, the closing of old Waco Street intersection with T.H. 10 and the access to T.H. 10 at the Sherburne County Government Center. In addition to the street improvements, there would be lateral sanitary sewer along Business Center Drive, trunk watermain along Business Center Drive and Waco Street and lateral watermain along the north frontage road to create a looped system. In addition, there will be lateral storm sewer along all three of the roads; Business Center Drive, Waco Street, and the north frontage road. The public hearing was held on March 13th. The plans and specifications are approximately 95% complete and have been submitted to Mn/DOT for their preliminary review. We are expecting cooperative agreement funding from Mn/DOT. It takes about 13 weeks for Mn/DOT to prepare a cooperative agreement so it is anticipated the earliest this project could proceed to construction would be in early summer of 2000. Pedestrian Bridge The pedestrian bridge that crosses TH 169 was substantially complete in 1999. However, there is still a minor amount of work to be completed in the spring of 2000. It is anticipated that there will be a grand opening of the bridge scheduled in spring of 2000 with Congressman Oberstar, since he was responsible for providing the funding for the construction of the pedestrian bridge. 4. TH 10/Main Street Intersection Geometrics We are currently working on the layout and analysis of potential improvements to the TH 10/Main Street intersection. We have had preliminary discussions with Mn/DOT regarding their interest in helping fund improvements at this intersection. They have indicated a willingness to consider participating in the funding of geometric and signal improvements at this intersection due to the TH 101 bridge replacement that is planned for 2001 or 2002. We anticipate that the analysis and layout for potential improvements to this intersection will be completed in the spring of 2000 and be ready for City Council consideration and review by Mn/DOT. C. PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS This area summarizes those private developments that we anticipate will be completed in 2000. The City Engineer's role is to provide construction inspection services to ensure compliance with approved plans and City specifications. I. Lafayette Woods 4th Addition This will complete the Lafayette Woods development. The improvements were reviewed and approved by staff in the fall of 1999; however, the developer did not ask for or receive final plat approval. We anticipate that this will happen in the spring of the year, and the construction of the improvements to complete this development will proceed forward. O:\PROJ~30000M\0325\Itr 1-31-00 klaers.doc
