<br />2006 Transportation Issues <br />January 4,2006 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />10. Waco Street Reconstruction <br /> <br />Plans and specifications for Waco Street Reconstruction were authorized by the City <br />Council in the later part of 2005. Work has been completed on the preliminary plans <br />and they have been sent to MnDOT for review by the Office of State Aid. Waco Street <br />is on the City's Municipal State Aid System and this will be an opportunity for MSA <br />funding to pay for the portion of the project not funded by the Target Technology <br />Center Developer Agreement payment. The project will include the reconstruction to an <br />urban street section of Waco Street, addition of a concrete sidewalk along one side, the <br />addition of a bituminous pathway along the County Road 30 frontage of the Target <br />Technology Center and the looping of watermain further to the east. The watermain <br />portion of the improvement as we previously discussed will be funded by the Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities. This project will be ideal to combine with Dodge Avenue for <br />constructIon purposes. <br /> <br />11. 2006 Overlay Project <br /> <br />Late last year, the City Council authorized a feasibility study be prepared for the 2006 <br />Overlay Improvement Project. We are currently working on that and anticipate it being <br />available for City Council consideration in February or March. These projects are <br />typically 100 percent assessed with City street crews providing some work in preparing <br />the areas for the overlays or doing restoration after the overlay is placed. <br /> <br />12. 186th Avenue/Naples Street Feasibility Study <br /> <br />The City Council authorized this feasibility study for sanitary sewer, watermain and street <br />improvements on 186th Avenue and Naples Street in late 2005. We are currently <br />gathering information and researching our previous files on this project. We anticipate <br />having an informational meeting with the affected residents sometime in the latter part <br />of February. Once the informational meeting is held, we will prepare minutes and <br />provide them as part of the feasibility study. The study will come forward to the City <br />Council in early spring of this year. <br /> <br />Since the Council has a relatively busy agenda for Monday night's workshop, I have not <br />provided any significant backup material, but I will be available Monday evening to discuss <br />any of these projects or others in greater detail. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />T~ <br /> <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />S:\Engineer\2006 CC memos\ Transportation issues.doc <br />
