STAFF ORIGINATOR: <br />COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />ACTION REQUIRED: <br />BACKGROUND: <br />AGENDA ITEM 7E <br />Michael Grochala <br />July 8, 2002 <br />Resolution No. 02-73, Concurrence <br />with proposed Alignment Alternatives for <br />the CSAH 8/14 (Main Street) <br />Reconstruction Project. <br />Simple Majority <br />Washington County has received federal funding to reconstruct County State Aid <br />Highway (CSAH) 8/14 between I -35E in Lino Lakes, Anoka County, and Trunk Highway <br />61 in Hugo. As part of the project an alternative analysis, studying alignment <br />alternatives along Main Street connecting with TH 61 was prepared. Four potential <br />alignments through the City of Hugo were reviewed as part of the process including <br />140th Street, 142nd Street, 145th Street (the existing alignment), and 147th Street. <br />At this point Washington County is in the process of preparing an Environmental <br />Assessment (EA) for the project. This process will involve studying the environmental <br />impacts of the proposed project including the alignment alternatives. However, <br />Washington County is recommending that the 140th Street Alignment Alternative be <br />eliminated from further study because of environmental impacts, right-of-way and <br />construction costs, and travel patterns. <br />The City of Hugo passed a resolution on July 1, 2002 concurring with Washington <br />County's recommendation. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Return to staff for further review. <br />2. Adopt Resolution Number 02-73, Concurring with Washington County regarding <br />proposed CSAH 8/14 Alignment Alternatives. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option No. 2. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. Resolution 02-73 <br />
