Anoka County subsequently provided a design for roadway improvements to accommodate both projects. The improvements will include: • traffic signals at Birch and Hodgson • Hodgson southbound through lane • left turn lane from southbound Hodgson to eastbound Birch • Hodgson northbound through lane • right turn lane from northbound Hodgson to eastbound Birch • right turn lane from westbound Birch to northbound Hodgson • left turn lane from westbound Birch to southbound Hodgson • right turn lane into the project from northbound Hodgson at the Hodgson access left turn lane into the project from southbound Hodgson at the Hodgson access • right turn lane into the project from eastbound Birch at the Birch access (right-in- right-out only) • right turn lane from eastbound Birch to southbound Ware • left turn lane from eastbound Birch to northbound Ware • Birch eastbound through lane at Ware • right turn lane from westbound Birch to northbound Ware • left turn lane from westbound Birch to southbound Ware Birch westbound through lane at Ware As part of the project approval, Bruggeman and the developer of Spirit Hills commercial will cooperate with the County and City to finance these improvements. A feasibility study, paid for by the two developers, is underway. The City Engineer has worked with the Anoka County Highway Dept to determine the specific improvement details. Costs have yet to be determined.
