Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: TRUNK HIGHWAY 10 TRAFFIC CONTROL INTERCONNECTION <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Klaers: <br /> <br />As I informed the City Council at a meeting last month, MnDOT is planning a traffic <br />control interconnect project on TH 10. This project will connect the signals at Main <br />Street, Jackson Avenue, and Proctor Avenue. This should greatly improve the flow of <br />traffic on TH 10 through the City. I did not know at that time that MnDOT would be <br />looking for City cost participation. They have submitted the plans to me at this point for <br />City approval, and have indicated that the project will be 80% federally funded and the <br />remaining 20% will be equally split between MnDOT legs, City legs, and the one County <br />leg. They estimate that the City's share would be approximately $7,000. <br /> <br />As we discussed earlier with Lori Johnson, this expenditure would be MSA fundable; <br />however, with this small of an amount, I would recommend some other funding source if <br />available, to eliminate the need for MSA paperwork. Certainly we have enough projects <br />in the City to use our MSA funds on that we do not have to worry about pulling money <br />out for these small projects if other funds are available. <br /> <br />I would recormnend that the City Council approve the plans and authorize me to sign them <br />on the City's behalf. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this issue, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />Terry J. g, faurer, P.E. <br /> <br />TJM:tw <br />000-1010.may <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
