Bergeson, Ma or Arm Bl City Clerk • • STAFF ORIGINATOR: CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: TOPIC: ACTION REQUIRED: BACKGROUND Sec b o u .-d Kpar4 -) a+ cked2 , AGENDA ITEM 6C Michael Grochala July 12, 2004 Consideration of Resolution No. 04 -100, Adopting the Anoka County CSAH 14 I -35W to I -35E Alternative Analysis Study Simple Majority City staff has been working with the City of Centerville and Anoka County on Phase 1 of the County Road 14 (Main Street) study. The goal of Phase I was to select a design concept for reconstruction of the roadway between I -35W and 1 -35E. The study included an examination of regional access alternatives including additional access points to I -35E and I -35W as well as a northerly bypass of Centerville. Three public meetings have been held during the process to collect comments from area residents and business owners. Anoka County staff and consultants have also met with the City of Centerville's Economic Development committee and business owners. ANALYSIS Design Concepts for CSAH 14 Reconstruction The CSAH 14 corridor between I -35W and I -35E varies in the characteristics as it flows through parkland, commercial areas and residential areas. Three main segments were identified. Segment 1, from I -35W south through the Regional Park to Mound Trail; Segment 2 from Mound Trail through Centerville to 20t Avenue (CSAH 21); and Segment 3 from 20th Avenue (CSAH 21) to 1 -35E. Based on the projected traffic volumes, vehicle speeds, and adjacent land use the following is the recommended design for the reconstruction of CSAH 14: Segment 1: The segment through the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park is proposed to be a two -lane rural section (ditches used to convey drainage) with turn lanes at the park entrances as necessary. Eight -foot shoulders and a ten -foot trail along the west side are also recommended. The existing bridge over Rice Creek will be replaces with a new structure. • Segment 2: The segment through Centerville is proposed to be a three -lane urban section (curb and gutter) with the center lane used as a continuous left -turn lane. A • • City Council CSAH 14 July 12, 2004 right -turn lane should be considered at Centerville Road (CSAH 21 west) and other city streets as necessary. Eight -foot shoulders should be provided wherever possible (lake impacts will need to be evaluated). In the downtown area expansion of the shoulder to 10 feet to allow for parking will be considered. Trails or sidewalks on one or both sides will be part of the final design. Segment 3: Because of the high traffic volumes and high speeds between 20th Avenue (CSAH 21 west) and I -35E a four -lane divided urban section is proposed. The median will control access points and provide for protected left turn lanes. Shoulders and sidewalks or trials will also be part of the design. Long Term Planning for Regional Access Improvements The "Full Build" traffic studies, discussed in Section 4.6 of the Alternatives Analysis Report, suggest that further roadway improvements beyond the reconstruction of CSAH 14 will be needed in the future. As the study area develops or other planning studies are initiated, the regional access improvements should be considered. This will be particularly important when parcels adjacent to the proposed northerly crossing of Peltier Lake or in the proposed interchange areas are considered for development. It is also recommended that the Inter - Regional Corridor Study Mn /DOT is currently working on consider the access changes proposed by this report. As recommended by the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) and Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn /DOT), a phasing plan should be established to construct each piece of the overall improvement as it becomes necessary to maintain the serviceability of the transportation system. Additionally, the following steps should be taken as the opportunity is presented: 1) Inclusion of the crossing of Peltier Lake and proposed interchanges in future transportation and comprehensive plans 2) Preservation of right of way through an official map or other process 3) Right of way dedication through the platting process RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 04 -100, Adopting the Anoka County CSAH 14 Alternative Analysis Study.
