CITY COUNCIL <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />ITEM NO. 3 <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director <br />WORK SESSION DATE: August 5, 2024 <br />TOPIC: 1-35E/CRJ Interchange Update <br />BACKGROUND <br />Final design for the 1-35E Interchange is underway with construction still proposed for spring of <br />2025. As the process continues a number of items will need to be addressed as part of <br />approvals. These include: <br />1) Jurisdictional transfers <br />2) Maintenance <br />3) Streetscaping elements <br />4) Cost share <br />Jurisdictional transfers <br />County Road J, between Centerville Road and Otter Lake Road is under the jurisdiction of <br />multiple road authorities. The City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Ramsey County and Mn/DOT <br />each share responsibility for certain portions of the roadway. The north half of CRJ, from <br />Centerville Road to approximately 20t" Avenue, is under the City's jurisdiction. The road is not <br />currently on the City or County's municipal state aid system. However, all parties are proposing <br />the use of state aid as part of the funding. We have been informed by Mn/DOT roadways <br />cannot share Municipal and County State Aid Designations. Accordingly, Anoka County is <br />proposing to take over jurisdiction of the Lino Lakes road portion. However, Anoka County has <br />indicated a need to transfer over an equivalent length of an existing county road to the City in <br />exchange. Staff have raised concerns regarding transfer of a roadway that may have certain <br />deficiencies such as right-of-way width, road width or pavement condition that would result in <br />greater long term liability to the City. No decisions have been made at this point and staff will <br />continue to update the Council. <br />1 <br />
