<br /> <br />Item 5.6. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />February 28, 2005 <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: 1RANSPORTATION ISSUES <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />Attached to this memo are three lists of transportation projects. The first list is projects that <br />have been completed the past several years; the second list is projects that are currently being <br />worked by City staff; and the third list is projects that have been discussed or are mentioned <br />in Chapter 4 of the Transportation Plan which prioritizes improvement actions. On <br />Tuesday, February 8,2005 these three lists were presented to the Planning Commission at a <br />work session. There was a significant amount of discussion regarding the third list and what <br />should be the priority for transportation projects going forward. Attached are the approved <br />minutes from the workshop meeting. You will note on page four, after a lengthy discussion <br />the top four projects as ranked by the Planning Commission were the following: <br /> <br />. Elk Hills Drive Corridor Study Weighted Score 19 <br />. 19yd A venue Corridor Study for Easterly Section Weighted Score 18 <br />. Corridor Study for School Street Alignment <br /> West to Upland Avenue Weighted Score 13 <br />. County Road 44 (Meadowvale Road) Reconstruction Weighted Score 10 <br /> <br />At your City Council work session on March 14, 2005 I would like to continue this <br />discussion and ultimately get the City Council's priorities for the top 3 - 5 transportation <br />projects moving forward. After priorities are chosen, I will put together a detailed work plan <br />and tentative schedule for each of the priorities which will then be presented back to the City <br />Council. Once these are approved, we will begin working on the future transportation <br />. .. . <br />project pnontles. <br /> <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br /> <br />www.cLelk-river.mn.us <br />
