Mr. Pat Klaers June 14, 1995 • Page Two 4. From north of the Meadowvale Road (County Road 44) intersection to the intersection of County Road 32, the section will be graded wide enough for four lanes of traffic. The County proposes a roadbed width of 60 feet. However, at this point, the County has not determined how much of this area will be initially paved. They have assured us they will pave at least one lane in each direction and a fairly wide shoulder area. Ultimately, when traffic dictates, the road would be paved 60 feet wide which would provide for two lanes of traffic in each direcfion and a 6-foot wide shoulder on each side. There is the potential that the County will determine that it is cost-effective to just pave the entire 60-foot width at this time. Some of the other issues that we discussed with the County include the following: The County proposes to construct the project in 1995 in two phases. The first phase would be from the south end to just short of County Road 44. This Phase One construction is planned to be completed prior to the start-up of the fall school yeaz. The second phase would go from County Road 44 to County Road 32. This phase is proposed to be undertaken in the fall of 1995 after the bulk of the golf season is over. The County has met with representatives of both the School District and of the golf course and relayed this information to them. • The County is still considering how to deal with the 193rd Avenue intersection between CSAH 1 and County Road 44. As you are aware, this is the short stretch of road often used as a short-cut, which also serves the church in that location. One of the options they are considering is to cul-de-sac 193rd Avenue, eliminating the intersection with County Road 1. I believe that if this is their approach, the City should support this realignment. The reason is the intersection is skewed at an angle much less than 90 degrees and, with the short-cut opportunities there, provides for conflicting traffic movements with limited visibility for turning cazs. The County proposes to realign Meadowvale Road (County Road 44) to provide a 90 degree intersection with CSAH 1. This will utilize some of the property the City acquired from the Nord family several years ago when utilities were extended through this azea. The County would like to work with the City to minimize the number of new accesses onto CSAH 1. As the Nord property develops in the future, it is anticipated that an access across from the new Meadowvale Road intersection would be established, and somewhere north of this intersection an appropriate location would be chosen for another access to both the east and west side of CSAH 1. r1 t,J 230/213-1409.jun
