PAUL <br /> <br />WASECA <br /> <br />As I indicated at the CIP workshop, I have contacted Terry Humbert from the District 3 <br />MnDOT Planning staff to discuss options for improving left turns at the above-referenced <br />intersection. We are currently working on a short-term solution of developing a left turn <br />for both northbound and southbound Proctor that will be opposite each other rather than <br />off-set. This will require restriping of the existing streets. We are also working with <br />MnDOT to develop a long-term strategy which can be implemented in the future. This <br />would likely consist of widening Proctor as it approaches TH 10 to continue the left turn <br />line while re-establishing two lanes in each direction. At the same time, there would need <br />to be improvements to the medians at that intersection, relocating the signal poles and <br />widening the median opening. <br /> <br />I will have drawings of these two options available for Monday evening's meeting. I hope <br />to be able to review them with Dave Schwarting before the meeting and make this part of <br />his CSAH 1 presentation. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this issue, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />Ter'rv~J. ~aurer, P.E. <br /> <br />TJM:tw <br />000-2302.feb <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
