I. PROJECT HISTORY This Feasibility Report was authorized by the Lino Lakes City Council on July 23, 2007. The Report was initiated by the City to improve the intersection safety for the roadway system and provide improved access to Lino Lakes Market Place and other commercial and residential developments in the area. The Report is based on site visits to review the existing conditions, available record drawings, aerial photography, and City utility maps. No detailed surveys were conducted to verify the grading extent and limits of the proposed improvements. II. PROJECT AREA CHARACTERSTICS The proposed project area is within a combination of existing City right -of -way as well as privately owned residential properties. Precisely, the project area involves work within 77th Street (from Marilyn Avenue to Lake Drive), within Marilyn Avenue (from 77th Street to approximately 100 feet north of 77th Street), and within Lake Drive (from 77th Street to Marketplace Drive). In addition, the project area involves work within private residential properties, which lie at the southwest corner of the 77th Street and Lake Drive intersection and at the northeast corner of the 77th Street and Marilyn Avenue intersection. Refer to the exhibits in the Appendix for the project area. The existing 77th Street is a rural bituminous roadway that is approximately 24 feet wide and lies within a 66 foot right -of -way. The existing Marilyn Avenue is an urban roadway with bituminous curb that is approximately 30 feet wide and lies within a 60 foot right -of -way. Both roadways are in good condition and are not being recommended for additional improvements at this time. Lastly, the existing Lake Drive is an Anoka County highway that is a divided four lane highway with concrete curbs, concrete medians, and turn lanes. Lake Drive was reconstructed in 2002. The intersection of Lake Drive and Marketplace Drive is a three - legged intersection controlled by a traffic signal. The proposed realigned 77th Street will connect to the Lake Drive and Marketplace Drive intersection on the west and form a four - legged intersection. Within the 77th Street right -of -way (extending from Lake Drive to approximately 200 feet west of Lake Drive), City utilities consist of a 10 -inch trunk sanitary sewer and an 8 -inch lateral watermain. Within the Lake Drive right -of -way, there are trunk sanitary Feasibility Report City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota 2 13849.006
