Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: WACO STREET BRIDGE <br />RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />At the recent MnDOT spring tour, one of the items that was discussed was the proposed <br />future construction of a bridge over the Elk River on the Waco Street alignment. There was <br />some discussion with MnDOT about the possibility of designing a "floodable" bridge which <br />would minimize the total length of the project and hopefully reduce the cost somewhat. One <br />thing that the Municipal State Aid system allows the City to do would be to pursue right-of- <br />way for this future bridge and street alignment at this point in time. There have been <br />previous discussions with the landowner to the north of the Elk River regarding acquisition <br />of property in this area. If the City so desires, we could pursue the acquisition of that <br />property with a portion of it being dedicated as future Waco Street right-of-way. Since <br />Waco Street is currently on the Municipal State Aid system, we could therefore request <br />Municipal State Aid Fund reimbursement for the right-of-way acquisition. <br /> <br />If the Council would desire us to pursue this, please let us know and we will bring forth at <br />an upcoming meeting the appropriate resolutions and documentation to be sent to MnDOT <br />for reimbursement of the cost. If you have any questions on this item, I will be in attendance <br />at your July 25, 1994, City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />T~~ <br /> <br />TJM:tw <br /> <br />000-2012.jul <br />
