Although it is possible to simply pave the gravel section of <br />Mani -ling Avenue between Sanctuary and TH 36, the staff does not feel this is in the best long <br />terin interests of the City. <br />Given that Washington County will be upgrading and widening the north leg of that intersection <br />in 2007, we feel that aligning our leg of the intersection with those future improvements will <br />allow our residents to use this intersection safely and efficiently. <br />The Feasibility Report will discuss lane geometry options, costs, financing, and schedule. <br />City Council Action Requested <br />Approve the Resolution authorizing the preparation of a Feasibility Report for Maiming Avenue <br />from TH 36 to the Sanctuary subdivision. <br />Sincerely <br />Thomas D.
