515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 <br />www.cilittle-canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Flanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: November 8, 2013 <br />RE: SEH Quotation for Quiet Zone Study <br />MAYOR <br />Bill llesener <br />COUNCIL. <br />Rick Montour <br />John Keis <br />Michael McGraw <br />Shelly Boss <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached is the quotation received from SEH to conduct a quiet zone study for the at <br />grade railroad crossings in Little Canada used by Canadian Pacific Railroad. As you <br />know we have at grade crossings on the following streets: <br />• Woodlyn (stop sign) <br />• South Owasso (flashing lights) <br />• Little Canada Road (flashing lights) <br />• Demont (flashing lights) <br />• County Road B2 (gated) <br />• County Road B (flashing lights) <br />(Note: Minimum requirements for establishing quiet zones required gated crossings. We <br />have been told that upgrading existing flashing signals is not possible.) <br />For comparative purposes, Shoreview has also retained SEH for similar purposes. (Their <br />work scope is slightly different given the Cardigan Junction area. They are paying <br />$12,000 for their study. <br />Staff believes it will be advantageous to use the same firm as Shoreview for this work <br />given the similar issues we are facing and the potential to have a multi - community <br />approach to quiet zone enactment. We recommend approval of the proposal as presented. <br />1 <br />
