2. In the Cities of Little Canada and Roseville, Rice Street (County Highway 49) from County Road B2 to County Road C2 shall be improved in a sufficient manner that addresses existing surface deficiencies that were to have been resolved by a reconstruction project that is being delayed to accommodate traffic re- routing associated with the MnPass project. Said improvements shall be completed in the 2013 construction season with MnDot and Ramsey County to agree on the specific nature of the improvements and cost sharing arrangements. 3. The City and Ramsey County will determine pavement degradation on the alternate City and County routes that the traveling public will utilize during MnPass construction. Deterioration of the pavement condition caused by increased traffic diverted by the MnPass project to the local system will be determined by the local agencies in accordance with their pavement management programs. A reasonable remediation to the local system deterioration caused by increased traffic volumes and pavement degradation and changed striping of the roadway segments shall be part of the Memorandum of Understanding. The determined deterioration on the local system will be negotiated in good faith by all parties involved. 4. The City and /or Ramsey County will require signal timing changes as necessary on local routes to improve travel times and reduce delays as all parties agree. Timing plans will need to be developed and approved by the local agencies at MnDot's expense. Signal timing after the project will return to the original signal timing that existed prior to the MnPass project or as modified by the local agency; with MnDot responsible for the costs in re- establishing timing patterns. 5. Any restriping of the roadway segments to accommodate additional traffic during the MnPass Project will require MnDot to restripe the existing roadway and to re- establish the pavement condition to a level equal to or better than existed prior to the restriping. 6. MnDot is required to provide adequate traffic modeling and project staging /phasing on the State Highway system and the local system. The City Council will be advised of the findings of the modeling and staging /phasing prior to construction. The City may have input pertaining to the MnPass project traffic modeling and project staging /phasing and it may be necessary for MnDot to change the project or project phasing to address the concerns of the impacted cities and /or the County. The City will be concerned that access by our residents and businesses to the interstate system is not unduly restricted during the project. If determined by the City or County it may be necessary for MnDot to provide temporary traffic control on local routes by either installing temporary signals, stop signs or to arrange for law enforcement to direct traffic during peak periods during phases of the project at MnDot cost. 7. If signal systems or signage on local routes need to be modified to accommodate changes to the roadway configuration, MnDot will be responsible to pay for these changes and to return them to their original condition. As agreed to by the local
