H. 169 and C. R. 33. The letter <br />indicates that Mn/DOT has programmed a temporary signal at the intersection with fiscal year <br />2001 funds. Fiscal year 2001 begins July of 2000 and that is when they anticipate letting a <br />contract. Mr. Dumont's letter goes on to indicate that the reason the signal would be considered <br />temporary is because 1.H. 169 has been identified as an Inter-Regional Corridor (IRC). This <br />IRC classification was intended to preserve corridors of major traffic flow and to attempt to <br />institute a freeway design standard. In other words, Mn/DOT is anticipating at some date <br />acquiring additional right-of-way and constructing interchanges along the 1. H. 169 corridor. <br /> <br />With this information as background, Mn/DOT has requested that the City Council pass a <br />resolution acknowledging their intent to work in partnership with Mn/DOT in preserving right-of- <br />way for future interchanges. They refer to this resolution as a "good faith" resolution from the <br />City of Elk River. Based on this request, I have prepared the attached resolution for the City <br />Council's consideration. <br /> <br />Mr. Dumont's letter also discusses the financing of the proposed temporary signal, he indicates <br />that the funding would be 50% Sherburne County and 50% Mn/D01. The City has no financial <br />requirement in the construction of this signalized intersection. <br /> <br />If you have questions regarding any of this information please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
