ENGINEER.IS REPORT: A. MSA Report - Engineer Bohrer, Administrator. Whittaker, and local residents met with the District State Aid Engineer. The City Engineer and. State Engineer arrived at a 40 mph curve that would be acceptable to the State. The lila gineer determined the following conclusions after the joint meeting: 1. Square corners with stop signs do not meet State Aid Standards and cannot be approved. 2. 30 MPH curve design does not meet State Aid Standards and cannot be approved unless the segment is speed zoned for 30 mph (the proposed gravel area will not get zoned 30 mph unless the area on Jane Trail. N., running in front of the new DNR boat launch is zoned as such). 3. A speed zone study can be completed in two weeks. 1b, Right-of-way must be condemned. This will take 90 to 120 days, putting a starting date for MSA #1 into November. 5. Bids can be hold for no more than 60 days. Based on -these five conclusions the Engineer recommended the following: 1. The bids presently before the City should be rejected, since the project cannot be approved before right-of-way is obtained. 2. Rebid the project this fall if the 30 mph zone is established, setting construction .for 1981 and acquiring right-of-way through the winter. 3. Consider a 40 mph curve design, should the 30 mph zone not be established possibly trading right-of-way or consider another route.
