<br /> <br /> <br />That being said, Anoka County is currently scoping an improvement project on <br />Birch Street from Ware Road through the West Shadow Lake intersection. While <br />this preliminary evaluation was to primarily address some of the access issues <br />associated with Rice Lake Elementary School, this evaluation could now also <br />explore the Enid Street extension to Totem Trail as well. Again, this evaluation <br />will look at the access and lane configurations identified in the CSAH 34 (Birch <br />Street) Corridor Study which would include access modifications at Hokah Drive, <br />Totem Trail, Tomahawk Trail, Vaughan Court, both school entrances, and West <br />Shadow Lake Drive. Of course the city of Lino Lakes involvement along with an <br />in-depth public involvement process would have to be conducted prior to <br />implementing any changes to this highway. Since we are just beginning the <br />evaluation process, this ultimate improvement project would have to be first <br />included in the back end of our yet-to-be-determined 5-Year Capital Improvement <br />Program for 2017-2021. Finally, as stated previously these improvements would <br />be beyond the scope of the proposed development. <br /> <br />Hopefully this letter helps address some of the issues you are dealing with on <br />this development and the county’s position on them. Please let me know if you <br />have any questions or need further information. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Douglas W. Fischer, P.E. <br />Transportation Division Manager / County Engineer <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
