• STAFF ORIGINATOR: CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: TOPIC: AGENDA ITEM 6D Michael Grochala April 23, 2007 Consideration of Resolutions No. 07 -61 through 07 -63 Supporting Applications for Federal Funding ACTION REQUIRED: Simple Majority BACKGROUND The Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) to the Metropolitan Council is soliciting proposals for 2011 and 2012 projects to use federal transportation funds. Anoka County has requested support from the City of Lino Lakes for project applications that are located in the City. The projects are as follows: Lake Drive (CSAH 23) from 77th Street to Main Street (CSAH 14) Anoka County is proposing to reconstruct Lake Drive from 77th Street through its intersection with Main Street. The project will extend the existing four lane divided roadway through the project area. This section of Lake Drive is one of the City's highest volume roadway sections. The project includes the signalization of the Main and Lake intersection. Lake Drive (CSAH 23) /Main Street (CSAH 14) Intersection Anoka County is also proposing to submit a separate Hazard Safety Improvement Project (HSIP) application specifically for signalization of the Lake and Main intersection. This intersection is currently operating at a level of service F in p.m. peak periods. This funding will not be needed if the Lake Drive improvement request is successful. County Road J/ Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) Intersection Anoka County is also proposing to submit a Hazard Safety Improvement Project (HSIP) application for improvements, including signalization of the County Road J /Hodgson Road Intersection. This project includes permanent improvements including turn lane construction for the intersection. The currently proposed interim project to signalize the intersection is still in progress and anticipated for construction this year. RECOMMENDATION All of the above mentioned projects will provide benefits to Lino Lakes and the surrounding area. Staff is recommending adoption of Resolutions No. 07- 6lthrough 07- 63.
