Additionally, the <br />city received a petition in early 2008 requesting improvements to the Ware Road and <br />Birch Street intersection. In response, the City Council approved Resolution No. 08 -34, <br />directing staff to work with Anoka County on a study and incorporate the Ware/Birch <br />intersection. In April of 2009 the council passed Resolution No. 09 -21 entering into a <br />Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County to prepare a Corridor Study for Birch Street. <br />SRF Consulting Group was retained by Anoka County to complete the study. A review <br />of the corridor plan elements and implementation phases will be provided at the work <br />session by study team members. <br />Additional background and information can be found by accessing the project website at: <br />http://ww2.anokacounty.us/v3_highway/CSAH34 <br />Council Direction <br />No action is necessary. Staff is requesting council comment on the corridor plan and <br />implementation phases. <br />Attachments <br />1. Project background <br />1 <br />
