June 1, 2020 <br />Mr. Femrite stated this would control east bound turning traffic and reduce conflict <br />of crossing traffic during peak times. <br />Councilmember Wagner asked about commercial vehicles making that movement. <br />Mr. Femrite stated the design team had used local trucking companies' longest <br />vehicles to test the intersection. <br />Councilmember Westgaard said it seemed consistent with what they had seen last fall <br />but with an increase in the ability for larger trucks to turn. <br />Councilmember Ovall questioned whether there was enough room at the crossing to <br />Highway 10 if the traffic is cuing to turn left more than expected. What if there was a <br />need in the future to add another lane? Mr. Femrite said the type of turn signal <br />should help to reduce traffic back up in this lane. <br />Mayor Dietz asked if the only businesses affected were the Salvation Army and <br />Kentucky Fried Chicken and whether acquisition was finalized. <br />Mr. Femrite affirmed those are the only two full acquisitions proposed and said there <br />will be solidified direction once the council has administered municipal consent, <br />which will occur within the next couple months. <br />Mayor Dietz asked if the city would get some type of credit as they are taking liquor <br />store property. Mr. Femrite responded the city would receive a value on that and any <br />other city owned property. <br />Councilmember Ovall asked if anything could help with backups turning left onto <br />Main St. from Carson Ct. Mr. Femrite said the area could see a signal in the future, <br />but current plans should help reduce the distribution of traffic through the area. <br />Mr. Femrite stated plan revisions now have Main St going under Hwy 169 and <br />School St. will go over. <br />Mayor Dietz asked if the road surface would be concrete or asphalt. Mr. Femrite <br />stated he believe it would be asphalt but was subject to change. <br />Mayor Dietz asked about the improvement projects happening in the cities of Anoka <br />and Ramsey and whether they would be happening at the same time. <br />Mr. Femrite believes the Anoka projects are scheduled to be completed before the <br />169 Redefine project begins. MnDOT is trying to fit projects so that arteries are not <br />torn up at the same time. Cost estimates look to be south of the $3 million range <br />depending on how many side streets need to be included. <br />P0VE0E1 0Y <br />NATURE <br />
