Consider Resolution No. 10 -32, Authorizing
Preparation of Signal Justification Reports for the
Birch St./Ware Road & Lake Drive /Main Street
Intersections
3/5
The City has previously received requests from residents to consider the signalization of
the Lake Drive /Main Street intersection and the Birch StreetNVare Road intersection.
Both intersections are experiencing growing congestion and safety problems.
The preparation of a Signal Justification Report (SJR) is required when considering the
installation of a new signal system. The purpose of the report is to evaluate the existing
and proposed traffic conditions of the intersection and insure that the traffic signal will
improve the traffic flows and safety of the intersection.
TKDA, the city's consulting engineer, has estimated the cost of completing the two
reports at $6,800 to $10,000. The cost range reflects additional steps in the process
that may need to be undertaken based on the initial analysis.
No funding was programmed in the 2010 budget for the preparation of these reports.
Staff would recommend that the council appropriate funding for the studies from the
contingency fund at this time. If the projects proceed to construction and a permanent
funding source is determined the costs can then be reimbursed.
Once the SJR's are completed and a determination has been made on the whether the
signal systems should be installed, a separate feasibility study will need to be
commenced to determined the scope and costs of the improvement. Staff will
coordinate and work with Anoka County on the possible intersection improvements
throughout the process.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 10 -32
