<br />Vetting the possibility of a roundabout at each side of the bridge (the east side of the bridge will be <br />looked at as well) will involve traffic analysis and other steps that will likely need to be taken by Bolton <br />& Menk. MnDOT has budgeted for replacing the signal system along the interchange in 2023 but said <br />they could put the project on hold up to 2027 and then would have to replace the signals as they would <br />be 40 years old. Country Drive is scheduled for reconstruction in 2024 but could probably be moved to <br />2025 or 2026 to coincide with a larger project if things work out. It will likely take some time to pursue <br />funding for a project of this scope so it is probably realistic to shoot for 2025 or later before any work <br />takes place. <br /> <br />The HSIP grant application cost $7,400 and $22,500 was dedicated to the LPP grant application. The <br />thought is the funds dedicated to the LPP application could be re-routed to the work needed to perform <br />the analysis for the roundabout options at 35E. <br /> <br />Staff will update the Council once the HSIP grant status is known and as progress is made on the 35E <br />roundabout study.
