<br /> <br />Item # 5.2. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Terry Maurer, City Engineer <br /> <br />DATE: April 9, 2007 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Workshop Transportation Update <br /> <br />At Monday's workshop meeting, I will be updating the City Council on several <br />traffic/transportation issues. I will have a PowerPoint presentation to walk through each of <br />these issues. They are as follows: <br /> <br />A. 193'd Avenue Corridor <br /> <br />Lori Johnson and I have met with Howard Roston and Jason Mesner, the attorney and <br />appraiser helping us with the land acquisition. We have put together a tentative schedule <br />for land acquisition to provide the City access to the property by the spring of 2008. I <br />will be presenting that schedule to the City Council. In addition, there are a number of <br />design issues on the preliminary design of 193rd Avenue I would like to have City <br />Council direction andlor concurrence on. The fIrst which I will be presenting will be <br />the curved alignment at Tyler Street that the Brandt's have suggested. In addition, other <br />issues will be whether the new portion of 193rd Avenue should be designed with a <br />median, similar to Orono Parkway, including a detached 10-foot bituminous trail and 6- <br />foot sidewalk. Other issues I will be touching on will be the improvements needed in <br />the area of the existing 193rd Avenue. <br /> <br />B. Deerfield 3rd Addition Sidewalk <br /> <br />I will be presenting a summary of the surveys that were returned relative to the question <br />of whether or not sidewalk should be included in the Deerfield 3rd Addition street <br />reconstruction project. <br /> <br />C. Railroad Quiet Zones <br /> <br />I will be presenting information regarding constructing railroad quiet zones in the City of <br />Elk River. I have met with John Mentor, Sherburne County Public Works Director, <br />
