We thank you for working with us on this <br />project by giving us your suggestions, ideas, and concerns. It is important to us that <br />everyone has an opportunity to be heard. <br />At the meeting, the City Council gave us a design concept that we can proceed with to <br />develop preliminary plans, which is shown on the attached "typical sections". The <br />proposed road will consist of a 40 foot wide rural section south of 27th Street, and a 44 <br />foot wide urban section north of 27th Street. Right turn lanes and left turn bypass lanes <br />will be constructed in the rural section and right turn lanes in the urban section at all street <br />intersections. The new roadway centerline north of 27th Street will be located <br />approximately 5 feet west of the existing roadway to balance yard impacts. <br />The major concerns expressed at the meeting were the speed of vehicles and parking on <br />the road north of 27th Street. The 44 foot wide urban section would allow parking on <br />both sides of the road. However, we understand the City Council plans to ban parking <br />north of 27th Street. The speed of vehicles traveling on the road is also a concern to the <br />community. The construction of the urban section will enhance the residential appearance <br />and may help slow down drivers, and we will also review other strategies that can be used <br />to help reduce speed. <br />What is going to happen next? We will proceed with our design and prepare preliminary <br />plans based on the decision made at this Council workshop and public input to date. An <br />Open House will be held this fall so that you can review the preliminary plans. We will <br />notify you by mail of the Open House date. After the Open House we will bring the <br />preliminary plans to the City Council. The attached "CSAH 13 Process" shows the <br />project scheduling. We hope to have the project under construction next spring. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Chris Thornton at 430-4316 or Don Theisen at <br />430-4304. On behalf of our project team, thanks again for working with us on this <br />project. <br />cc: Mary Hauser, County Commissioner <br />Jim Schug, County Administrator <br />rmtw e.a,a Pep" EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY!
