<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Pat Klaers <br />June 23, 1999 <br />Page Three <br /> <br />7. EVP/LED Signal Improvements <br /> <br />This project consisted of installing emergency vehicle preemption equipment at all of the <br />signals in the City. At the same time, the bulbs on all of the signals were replaced with <br />LED bulbs, which burn brighter and much longer, making them far more energy efficient. <br />All of the work under contract on this project has been completed. The project has not <br />been finalled out at this time. The emergency vehicle preemption systems need to be <br />turned on by MnDOT. This has not happened at this time. We anticipate that these will <br />be operational within the next several weeks. At that time the project can be finalled. <br />This project was done under a cooperative agreement with MnDOT. They are funding <br />approximately half of the project cost. Once the project is tinalled with the Contractor; <br />paperwork can be completed to receive the MnDOT reimbursement. <br /> <br />8. 175th Street Improvements <br /> <br />It is anticipated this project will receive some federal funding in FY 2002. We are <br />proceeding with plans and preparing right-of-way documents so the City can start the <br />land acquisition. It is very likely that if the City is ready to proceed with this project, it can <br />be moved up in the funding cycle to next summer. <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />Dodge Avenue <br /> <br />After the east Elk River improvement is complete, the only road in this general area that <br />will have not been upgraded to a concrete curb and gutter urban section, will be the <br />south end of Dodge Avenue. The northern end of Dodge Avenue was upgraded several <br />years ago. This project is currently being preliminarily designed, anticipating that the <br />major landowner along the stretch of roadway will submit a petition to undertake this <br />project in the year 2000. <br /> <br />10. CSAH No. 1 I County Road 77 Signalization <br /> <br />I have recently discussed this issue with Rhonda Lewis, Assistant County Engineer. <br />She informed me their consultant had completed the traffic counts and would have an <br />updated warrant study for this intersection within a week. Hopefully, it will be available <br />before Monday night's City Council meeting. <br /> <br />O:\PROJ\230000M\OOO-2302.june99.doc <br /> <br />Howard R.
