Chlebeck, Clerk <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 <br />Dear Mr. Chlebeck: <br />Thank you for the opportunity on February 7,.1983 to meet and discuss with <br />you your Gity's.traffic.concerns in conjunction With Mn /DOT's . roadway systems <br />in and near your locale. <br />This letter is in response to your inquiry regarding (1).a time table for <br />the completion of the interchange modifications at the junction of I -694 and <br />TH 61; and (2) plans for the possibility of installing a signal system at the <br />intersection of County Road C and TH 61. <br />At the meeting .I mentioned that the main reason for the interchange modifica- <br />tions project at 1 -694 and TH 61 not being programmed before was the lack of <br />funds.. Because of recent developments (see below) funding now appears to have <br />been arranged. <br />On July 23, 1982 the FHWA agreed that additional movements at this interchange <br />can be provided. Because of that decision, .this project is eligible for <br />regular FAI funding and is considered as stage construction. The guidelines <br />set forth by the FHWA are that all interstate gap construction projects be ... <br />under contract prior to any interstate stage construction. Therefore, we have <br />tentatively scheduled this project.for a June of 1986 letting. The antici- <br />pated modifications to the interchange should take approximately one construc- <br />tion season. <br />You also expressed concern over the traffic situation at the intersection of <br />County Road C. and TH 61 and what plans, if any, Mn /DOT has for installing <br />signals there. In checking with our traffic engineering department, based <br />on volumes, signals are warranted at this intersection. Therefore, we have <br />tentatively scheduled to let'a signal system contract in March of 1984. <br />If you have any further questions, please contact me at 779 -1206. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gary Zak <br />Project Manager <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />FEB 16 1983 <br />CITY OF <br />LITTLE CANADA <br />
