Item 7.3. <br />ver MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: Pat Klaers, City Add;ni rator <br />DATE: April 3, 1995 r~[D~~/ <br />SUBJECT: Transportation Plan <br />At the last joint meeting between the School Board and the City Council, <br />discussion took place regarding transportation routes through the City. <br />Since that time the City has been working on its long range transportation <br />plan and the concept of an east/west corridor has generated a lot of recent <br />newspaper print and public participation at the Comprehensive Plan <br />Committee meetings. <br />City Engineer Terry Maurer will be in attendance at this joint meeting and <br />will be prepared to review some of the east/west corridor options that are <br />• currently being evaluated. The corridor plan also includes a bridge over the <br />Elk River somewhere near our western city limits. This bridge is needed to <br />ensure adequate access for emergency vehicles to the part of the City and the <br />County that lies directly north of the Elk River along our western boundary. <br />In addition to a review of our long range transportation plan, the City <br />Engineer should also be able to provide some update on the status of the <br />requested improvements to County Road 1. At this time, it looks like the <br />County is prepared to move forward with an improvement project for County <br />Road 1, but we are still not certain as to the exact scope of this project or the <br />timing of the project. However, in general, we feel that it is going to be an <br />urban design of some type and is going to be constructed somewhere near the <br />end of 1995 and in 1996. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
