<br />2006 Transportation Issues <br />January 4,2006 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />7. 193rd Avenue Corridor Study <br /> <br />We have gathered significant information and have spent time analyzing it to determine <br />several prospective corridor alignments. With each of these, we have prepared a series <br />of pros and cons. These will be presented to the affected property owners at <br />informational meetings scheduled for Monday January 23r , and Tuesday January 24th. <br />We are planning two separate informational meetings so that property owners in the <br />nonexisting roadway area of 193rd Avenue will be together on Monday evening, and an <br />informational meeting with property owners surrounding the existing portion of 193rd <br />Avenue will be held the following evening. The idea is that these two groups will have <br />distinctly different issues to be discussed at these informational meetings. After the <br />informational meetings, we will prepare a report summarizing the findings and providing <br />minutes from the informational meetings. This information will be presented to the City <br />Council at an appropriate meeting. This may be an item that would be best handled at a <br />workshop meeting, where plans can be spread on the table and discussed in greater <br />detail. <br /> <br />Another issue that we are working on is an application for Federal funding to construct <br />this portion of 19yd Avenue. We will be submitting the application to Region 7W in the <br />next week or so. We will not know what our competition is or get a preview of how our <br />potential project stacks up until some time in early February when the TAC meets <br />followed by the elected officials group for Region 7W. <br /> <br />8. Highland Road Reconstruction and Feasibility Study <br /> <br />We have completed much of our preliminary analysis for the feasibility study regarding <br />the reconstruction of Highland Road between Jackson Road and Proctor Avenue. As <br />you are aware, we have previously held an informational meeting with the entire <br />neighborhood. We did indicate at that meeting that if the Council proceeded with a <br />feasibility study for just Highland Road, we would schedule another informational <br />meeting with only the properties abutting Highland Road. That meeting is tentatively <br />scheduled for Thursday, February 16, 2006. The presentation and minutes from that <br />meeting will become part of the official feasibility document. Therefore, it will be some <br />time after the February 16th informational meeting that the feasibility study will be ' <br />completed and presented to the City Council for consideration. <br /> <br />9. Dodge Avenue Reconstruction <br /> <br />The Dodge Avenue Reconstruction Project from 5th Street to approximately 1,000 feet <br />north is scheduled for Tuesday, January 17, 2006. Based on the informational meeting <br />we held for this project, we anticipate that the property owners will be in support of the <br />reconstruction of this portion of Dodge Avenue. After the public hearing, the City <br />Council will be asked to consider a resolution that would order the project and the <br />preparation of plans and specifications. The project could be designed and bid in the <br />spring of 2006 with other street reconstruction work within the City. <br /> <br />$: \Engineer\2006 CC memos \ Transportation issues.doc <br />
