• <br />• <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />AGENDA ITEM 6C <br />Michael Grochala <br />March 28, 2011 <br />Consideration of Resolution No. 11 -38 <br />Accepting Corridor Study Report and <br />Recommendations, CSAH 34 (Birch Street) <br />Corridor Study <br />ACTION REQUIRED: Simple Majority <br />BACKGROUND <br />The 2008 -2009 Council Goals, Objectives and Management Action Plan included the <br />objective to "Initiate an Access Management Plan for Birch Street (CSAH 34) that <br />includes provisions for pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements ". 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 corridor study and incorporate the <br />Ware /Birch intersection. In April of 2009 the council passed Resolution No. 09 -21 <br />entering into a Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County to prepare a Corridor Study <br />for Birch Street. <br />In April of 2010 the council discussed the draft report and expressed concerns <br />regarding the ultimate plan which proposed a four lane divided (raised median) <br />roadway. The council noted that short term improvements that balanced safety with <br />convenience would be more appropriate. <br />Over the past year city staff has worked with Anoka County and SRF Consulting Group <br />to incorporate the City Council's comments into the final draft report. The project team <br />has worked to develop a staged approach to improvements that can be implemented <br />as conditions warrant. A decision on the implementation of raised medians will be <br />deferred by the county and city until the impact of other improvements are understood <br />and actual future needs are more defined. <br />A copy of the executive summary is attached which includes a table identifying <br />proposed improvements, triggers and estimated costs. The draft report <br />recommendations were reviewed by the council on March 7, 2011. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 11 -38 <br />
