Consideration of Resolution No. 09 -43
Accepting Feasibility Report on Improvements,
and Calling for Hearing on Improvements
135E /CSAH 14 Interchange
ACTION REQUIRED: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND
The City Council authorized preparation of a Feasibility Study for the I- 35E /CSAH 14
Interchange Improvements on April 27, 2009. SRF Consulting Group, the City's
consulting engineer, has completed the report and will be presenting its findings at the
council meeting (Feasibility Study will be distributed at meeting).
The interchange has experienced significant congestion problems for the past several
years, specifically at the freeway ramps during a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The
proposed project includes the reconstruction of the interchange between 21st Avenue
and Otter Lake Road by bridge replacement and widening, roadway replacement and
widening, reconstruction of existing freeway ramps and construction of new ramps,
installation of traffic control signals, improvement to local road connections and
construction of pedestrian/bicycle facilities.
The estimated cost of the improvement is approximately $23 million including land
acquisition, engineering, and construction. Approximately $5.5 million is proposed to
be assessed to benefiting property owners. The City has held two meetings with
affected property owners over the last month to discuss the project.
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 09 -43 which accepts the feasibility
study and calls for a hearing on improvements. The hearing will be scheduled for July
27, 2009. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City Charter notice of the
hearing will be published in the official newspaper and mailed notice will be sent to all
affected property owners.
No further action is required at this time.
