<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 8.1 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />General Business April 4, 2022 Justin Femrite, P.E., Public Works Director <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />CSAH 33 Design Modifications Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Provide direction, by motion, regarding design considerations along CSAH 33 relating to future accommodations <br />for a trail. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />Sherburne County is moving into final design of the CSAH 33 realignment project from TH 169 to Twin Lakes <br />Road (CSAH 13). Previous discussion around this project concluded that while a trail is desired along the south <br />side of this route in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, that it would not be constructed as part of the <br />current roadway project. <br /> <br />To accommodate a trail more easily in the future, the current roadway design from beginning just west of Ulysses <br />Street and tying back in just east of Smith Street, would need to be shifted north by 10 feet. The largest cost <br />implication for this design modification results from a width of right-of-way impacts than the original design <br />would have required. The design modification would be limited to the stretch of project length mentioned as it <br />presents the most geographical challenges to adding a facility in the future. Without the design changes with this <br />project, the addition of a trail in the future will be very challenged (and costly). <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />The estimated city cost contribution for the design modifications detailed above and its associated right-of-way <br />impacts is $600,000. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Meet changing needs - Agile <br /> <br />Attachments <br />None <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br /> Updated: August 2020 <br />
