STAFF REPORT:
As part of MnDOT’s 2013 Trunk Highway 5 Microsurfacing and Restriping project within the
City of Lake Elmo, MnDOT will be constructing, at the request of the City of Lake Elmo, a
Pedestrian Refuge Island and Crosswalk in the vicinity of the Lake Elmo Elementary School.
The improvements will include the construction of the center refuge island and crosswalk
including grading, concrete curb and sidewalk. The improvements will not include Rapid
Flashing Beacons or a connecting sidewalk along the south side of Trunk Highway 5. These
additional improvements will become the responsibility of the City of Lake Elmo to be installed
at a future time.

Once the Pedestrian Refuge Island and Crosswalk is installed, the ongoing maintenance will
become the responsibility of the City of Lake Elmo. MnDOT Agreement No. 04109 sets forth
the responsibility and the terms and conditions for this routine maintenance, including snow and
ice removal, debris removal, patching, crack repair, and any other maintenance activity
necessary to perpetuate the pedestrian facility in a safe, usable, and aesthetically pleasing
condition.
