Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Jim LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />Bill Blesener <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached is Amendment #1 to MnDot Agreement Number 81650 that deals with the joint land <br />use and transportation planning project for the Rice Street /694 interchange. This project <br />involves MaDot, Ramsey County, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, and Little Canada. The <br />Metropolitan Council was previously involved in the project due to the potential for a transit hub <br />on the County Garage site. However, this component in no longer under consideration and the <br />Met Council will no longer be a participant in the project. Also, the completion date has been <br />extended to allow for the additional time that is needed to address design considerations for the <br />new Rice Street Bridge over 1 -694. <br />With Met Council leaving the study, their share of project funding needed to be addressed. The <br />City of Shoreview has agreed to pick up the additional costs. Little Canada's costs remain at <br />$3223.50 as a result of this amendment. The only other impact is the extension of the projected <br />completion date from July 31, 2003 to March 1, 2005. <br />Staff would recommend execution of this amendment as proposed. <br />
