WSB Infrastructure ■ Engineering is Planning ■ Construction June 28, 2016 Mr. Michael Grochala Community Development Director City of Lino Lakes 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 701 Xenia Avenue South Suite 300 Minneapolis, MN 55416 Tel: 763 541-4800 Fax: 763 541-1700 Re: Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) Proposal Centerville Road (CR 21/CR 59) at Ash Street (CR J)/Wilkinson Lake Blvd Lino Lakes, Minnesota Dear Mr. Grochala: WSB & Associates, Inc. (WSB) is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) report for the intersection of Centerville Road (CR 21/CR 59) at Ash Street (CR J)/Wilkinson Lake Boulevard. The intersection is located on the boarder of Lino Lakes, North Oaks and White Bear Lake Township in both Anoka and Ramsey Counties. The intersection is being studied in conjunction with a new residential development being proposed in the northwest corner of the intersection. This development is proposed to include 29 single family homes, 30 twin homes and a 147 unit senior apartment building. A Traffic Study was conducted for the proposed development dated January 22, 2016 with an update dated, February 9, 2016. A meeting was held on June 1, 2016 with the developer and impacted agencies to discuss the area transportation impacts and possible mitigation of existing and future conditions. Concerns were raised with respect to operations of the Centerville Road (CR 21/CR 59) and Ash Street (CR J)/Wilkinson Lake Blvd intersection and the interaction with the Ash Street (CR J) and 20th Avenue (CR 54)/I35E southbound ramp intersection. Based on the discussions at the meeting it was concluded that an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) should be completed to determine the appropriate intersection configuration and control. The result of the ICE report will be a recommendation for the needed traffic control and lane configuration at the Centerville Road (CR 21/CR 59) and Ash Street (CR J)/Wilkinson Lake Blvd intersection. Based on our understanding the City of Lino Lakes will lead the project with input from the City of North Oaks, White Bear Township, Anoka County and Ramsey County. With this understanding we have developed the attached Scope of Work, Estimated Cost and Schedule to complete this ICE report.
