I-94 Frontage Roads: Merrit Linzie, District Engineer, Dist. 9, MN/DOT, appeared before the Council to discuss alternative ways of securing and financing frontage roads for I-94. Iie said MN/DOT: 1. Would only consider remote frontage roads from CSAH V to CSAH 19; 2. Needs approval from the Metro Council and the Federal Highway Admin- to change the frontage roads; ?. MN/DOT must have; a. Lake Elmo approval of remote frontage road plans b. A commitment to the outlined procedures; and, c. An agreement with the City to pay eypenses as outlined in the procedure. MN/DOT then will design the two routes (attached and remote) in the same detail - detailing construction and right-of-way limits: appraising con- struction and right-of-way costs for each; and, then determine the level of participation for MN/DOT and the City: MN/DOT cosh Actual cost (for construction and right-of-way) Es i.mated cost construction or Appraised cost (r-o-.w) The appraised cost of any donated right-of-way would be included in the actual cost of right-of-way. Lake Elmo would pay the balance of the dif. ferQrI,Qecbetween attached and remote frontage roads. If, by some chance, the right-of-way donations result in a net benefit to the City, that will just be used to offset the total cost of the entire project. No one - MN/DOT or the City can "make a profit" on the road.
