At that time, direction was given to re-visit <br />with the Rivers Edge Group once plans were prepared. That meeting occurred last Wednesday, February <br />13, 2008. Those in attendance at the Rivers Edge meeting passed a motion unanimously in favor of the <br />entire improvement with the understanding that the project schedule would have the intersection work <br />complete and open prior to Memorial Day. (Some of the overlay work would occur after Memorial Day.) <br />Most of the work could be completed without disrupting the flow of traffic. The paver crosswalks and <br />center area treatment would require the closing of the intersection from a Monday morning through the <br />weekend and reopening by Friday of the following week. <br />The improvements to the TH 10 parking area which were authorized at a later date are proposed to be <br />combined for bidding purposes in order to get a more competitive bid. Combining these two projects <br />will not affect the schedule for the downtown improvements. <br />Financial Impact <br />The 2008 approved Capital Improvements Program has earmarked $430,000 for the downtown overlay <br />and geometric intersection improvements and $80,000 for the TH 10 parking lot surface improvements. <br />Attachments <br />• Resolution Approving the Plans and Specifications and Ordering the Advertisement for Bids <br />• Intersection exhibit <br />ActlOn Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />S:\);ngineerImprovProj\2008 Improvement Projects\Main & Jackson-No Hwy10 pkg lot\02 19 OS cc memo.doc <br />
