The City Administrator indicated that Mr. Terry Maurer of Consultine Engineers Diversified, would review the Feasibility Report for the City Council. Mr. Terry Maurer indicated that the Feasibility Report addresses the storm drainage of area C in the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Study and the revisions of the boundaries of area C. It addresses the existing utilities in the street and the increasing of a water main from a 4" line to a 12" line. It also addresses the sanitary sewer line and the proposal of relaying the sanitary sewer line along Main Street from Gates Avenue to approximately 300 feet east of Evans Avenue, and redirecting the flow to the lift station on Evans Avenue. Mr. Maurer indicated that the Minnesota Department of Transportation's 1980 traffic count data shows an average of approximately 3,750 vehicle trips along Main Street between Gates Avenue and Highway 169. Mr. Terry Maurer indicated that Mn/DOT projects an increased traffic volume of approximately 3.5% per year. Mr. Maurer further indicated that the proposed rate of increase is expected to be higher in the beginning because of the traffic lights proposed for the inter- section of Highway 169 and Main Street. Mr. Maurer indicated that based on this information, the proposed street improvement is for an urban type bituminous surface 50 feet in width and a 9 ton standard. Mr. Maurer further indicated that the 50 foot roadway could be a 4 lane street or a 2 lane street with turn lanes and parking.
