We now have approximately one mile to add to <br />the city MSA system and it is appropriate to add this mileage in order for the <br />city to receive the maximum amount of annual MSA construction and <br />maintenance funds. These funds are allocated out based on the amount of <br />designated MSA miles within the community, and the amount ofMSA mileage <br />within a community is based on the amount of total roadway miles within the <br />city. Accordingly, as new developments come on board, the city has more MSA <br />mileage available. <br /> <br />The additional MSA street recommended to the City Council is consistent with <br />the transportation plan. The routes are somewhat flexible until you have <br />spent MSA money on an MSA street. Once this happens the designation <br />cannot be removed. Certain standards have to be met for MSA designations <br />such as beginning or ending at state highways, existing MSA connection <br />points, or county roads. The recommended route on 165th Avenue meets the <br />MSA criteria. <br /> <br />Attached for your information is the MSA map for the city, a memo from our <br />city engineer consultants, and two resolutions for City Council consideration. <br />One resolution removes some mileage from the MSA system and the other <br />resolution designates additional mileage to the MSA system. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
