193`t .Avanuc Cua3dor Update Pagc 3 ~uuc 2, 2008 sanitarc sewer at this time since there is another corridor which could be utilized, should development occur in the fixture. 2. Street Lighting It wottld be our intent to ask the Elk River DZunicipa] Utilities, as has been the practice on other stre~ex projects, to light the cnxridox with the standard fixtures at dieit prescribed spacing, once the improvement is complete. Therefore, the plans and specifications do not include anv street lighting component. 3. Street Section/Median Treatments hhe street section proposed fox the new portion of 193" Avenue is vuy simile to Orono parizzvay. There is 22 feet of blacktop in each direction which wilt accommodate one lane of traffic and a wide shoulder for right turn movements ox a disabled vehicle to pull over. At this point, our plan fox the medians would be to build them but leave them approximately six inches low so that median treatments can be undextalien with a separate contract at a later date, as the Cite Council is working through the median discussion on the Orono Parkway medians. The medians on 193"' Avemie would not likely he ready for planting until some tune in late 2009, so there is ample time to come up with a design. 4. ]ntcxsection of 193"~ Avemie and Evans Street The intersection of 193"' Avenue and Evans Strcct will be laid out with the appropriate geometries to support a signal system at a later date. We have prepared a Signal ~ustiftcarion Report, but at this time, a signal is not warranted. "1'herefoxe, NhiDO1' would reject a signal being inchided in this project. That does not preclude the City froth undertaking a signal locally- fundcd as a separate project. One consideration that the Signal Justification Report discusses is adding a fourth stop sign as an intexun measure until a signal is warranted. The Signal Justification Report indicates that afour-wav stop will operate efficiently and not back up onto the highway. MnDO'1' is concerned about the potential backup problem. 5. Sidewalk nn the south side of the existing 193` Avenue The project fox the new portion of the road includes a sidewalk on the north side and a 10-foot wide bituminous ball on the south side. The sidewalk on the north side will tie into a sidewalk on the existing portion of 193`a Avenue. The pathway on the south would terminate at Xavier Street. We could get a sidewalk immediately behind the curb on the south side of existing 193`d Avenue, however, it would be difficult in areas to get it through steep dxivevvays and would require retaining walls where there axe relatively steep lawns. IVIy suggestion at this time would be to not push the sidewalk through nn the soud~r side of existing 193` Avenue. 9~VI:;~~;uucd m~-ocPeoiA2006 tmpmcemem Projects\193x1 Ace CorridorV0( 02 ON cc memadoe
