Item 4.4. <br /> <br />Howard R, Green Oompany <br />QONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />September 20, 2000 <br />File: 230000M-0325 <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />P.O. Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: UPDATE ON CURRENT PROJECTS <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />This correspondence is intended to provide a brief written follow-up to the projects listed <br />in Pat Klaer's memo to the City Council. <br /> <br />1. Signals on County Road 1 at School Street and County Road 77 <br /> <br />As the City Council is aware, this is a County project. The County has recently <br />indicated to the City that two small easements are needed for the School Street <br />installation. We have prepared the documents and sent one to the School <br />District for their consideration. The other was passed on to Howard Roston, City <br />Attorney, for acquisition from the apartment complex at the southeast corner of <br />the intersection of School Street and County Road 77. Sherburne County has <br />recently opened and awarded the bid for these two projects to Design Electric, <br />Inc. They are in the process now of scheduling a preconstruction meeting, <br />anticipating that the easements will be forthcoming. This would indicate that <br />construction will likely occur this fall, with delivery of signal equipment and <br />installation sometime in the winter months. <br /> <br />No Parking Signage and Crosswalk at East Side of Lowell Avenue on Main <br />Street. <br /> <br />Phil Hals has received a few calls regarding concerns about the difficulty in <br />crossing Main Street at Lowell Avenue with cars parked in that area and no <br />designated crosswalk. Apparently, senior citizens from south of Main Street use <br />this route to walk over towards the convenience store/gas station located near <br />Highway 10 for minor groceries. It may also be used just as a walking route. I <br />have been working with Phil Hals to prepare a proposal relative to eliminating <br />one or two parking stalls on the south side of Main Street and potentially <br />installing a painted and signed crosswalk at this location. When more specific <br />information is available relative to our proposal, we will present it to the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />O:\PROJ~230000M\0325\Itr 9-20-00 Council.
