<br />Line Avenue Cul-de-Sac <br />March 21, 2005 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />or go straight across to Line Avenue. Constructing the median closure in Twin Lakes Road <br />at this time would still allow Twin Lakes Road (CSAH 13) traffic coming in from the north <br />to access Line Avenue down to Main Street. It would require the return trip of these <br />vehicles to utilize Main Street/CSAH 12 over to Twin Lakes Road to begin their trip <br />northerly, since the median would preclude left turns from Line Avenue on Twin Lakes <br />Road. <br /> <br />If the median were closed in Twin Lakes Road, this would force traffic from Marshes of <br />Trott Brook wanting to make a left turn onto Twin Lakes Road to use Trott Brook Parkway, <br />which is in a much better location and design relative to site distances along Twin Lakes <br />Road for left turn movements. The first attached exhibit shows that the intersection from <br />Marshes of Trott Brook with Twin Lakes Road is on the inside of a significant curve. The <br />intersection of Trott Brook Parkway at Twin Lakes Road is on a much straighter portion of <br />the roadway. <br /> <br />I will be prepared to discuss this and/or answer questions at your Apri14, 2005 City Council <br />meeting. If the City Council were to decide to close this median, I would propose that we <br />bid this work along with the King Avenue Parking Lot/Miscellaneous Park Improvements <br />Project under consideration at the same meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~j/I!~ <br /> <br />Teny J. :tV1aurer, PE <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />S:\EngineerlmprovProj\200S Improvement Projects\Line Avenue\03 21 05 cc memo.doc <br />
