CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6G STAFF ORIGINATOR: Diane Hankee MEETING DATE: October 9, 2017 TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 17-115, Approving Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) Report for Centerville Road (CSAH 21/CSAH 59) at Ash Street (CR J)/Wilkinson Lake Blvd. VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting City Council approval of the Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) Report for Centerville Road (CSAH 21/CSAH 59) at Ash Street (CR J)/Wilkinson Lake Blvd. BACKGROUND The Centerville Road and County Road J intersection experiences poor operations and congestion in both the a.m. and p.m. peak periods. In cooperation with the North Oaks Development Company, Anoka County, Ramsey County and the City North Oaks an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) was prepared. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the traffic control and intersection lane geometry needed to address the current congestion and accommodate future planned growth. The study showed that under existing conditions the southbound approach and the westbound right turn movements were having unsatisfactory levels of service. The study used the City’s existing traffic (2018), and projected traffic based on future land use (2038), to determine acceptable levels of service. The analysis concluded that either a traffic signal system or roundabout would address the current a.m. or p.m. peak periods of unsatisfactory levels of service, and provide adequate levels of service through 2038. The estimated cost for a traffic signal with roadway improvements is $1,500,000 and for a roundabout is $1,000,000. Based on design factors, MnDOT’s future plans for roundabouts along the County Road J and Interstate 35E intersections, and estimated project cost, a roundabout is recommended. The next step is to identify the project funding. This involves refining project costs and identify cost shares. Cost shares will be based on the jurisdiction and their associated cost participation policy. The four jurisdictions are: Anoka County for the north leg, Ramsey County for the south leg, Lino Lakes and Ramsey County for the east leg, and the west leg is maintained by the Waverly Gardens development in North Oaks.
