Staff was unable to get MnDOT to initiate the study <br />or agree to participate. <br /> <br />On August 5, the Council approved a professional services contract with Hakanson Anderson to extend Twin <br />stth <br />Lakes Road from 171 Avenue to US 10, the Kelley Parkway alignment from the Yale Court to south of 165 <br />Avenue and a new high capacity intersection with US 10 (TLR/KP). The city applied for and was awarded $2 <br />million in federal funding and a MnDOT local partnership funding grant of up to $1 million for the project. <br /> <br />The city began preliminary design on the TLR/KP project. Through the design, the traffic analysis determined <br />the standard intersection control (traffic signal) for the new US 10 intersection with Twin Lakes Road/Kelley <br />Parkway would not function at an expected level of service through its expected 20-yr lifetime. MnDOT <br />reviewed the analysis and now recommends we hold off on the project until a larger US 10 access study can <br />provide additional guidance to control along this corridor. <br /> <br />MnDOT and staff discussed initiating the US 10 corridor study from TH 101 in Elk River to Armstrong Blvd <br />in Ramsey and a cost participation plan. The cost participation plan would include up to a $200,000 in MnDOT <br />funding and up to $100,000 in city funding. Consistent with the draft amounts discussed on May 6, 2019. The <br />city will be the lead agency to ensure coordination with other city planning work (2020 Comprehensive Plan <br />update and strategic planning study). <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br /> <br />
