MEMORANDUM <br />Memo To :Mayor and City Council Members / <br />From :Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works <br />Date :February 16, 1989 , <br />Subject :Addition of Ardan Avenue to the Municipal <br />State Aid Street System <br />We have received approval from the Commission= of Transportation <br />for the revocation of Municipal State Aid designation on a <br />portion of County Road H in accordance with our request. Thir. <br />action was taken to allow Ramsey County to designate all of <br />County Road H as a County State Aid Highway. This revocation <br />increased the amount of mileage we are theoretically allowed to <br />designate as MSA routes. in reviewing the existing designated <br />mileage, and considering the requested MTC route change, it <br />appears that Ardan Avenue between Red Oak Drive and Long Lake <br />Road would be a logical segment to add to the MSA system. <br />In reviewing the mileage certificate, I found the City has been <br />�.• nlai minn 1e�� 10:'.^.i "tr�Ct '�- <br />._ � ••n .. -- milvcyE tilail eiils Ged. I adjusted tn18 <br />on our 1988 mileage certification to the actual mileage in <br />accordance with our pavement inventory. MSA mileage is allowed to <br />be up to 20% of our basic mileage ( total road mileage within the <br />City limits minus trunk highway and county state aid highway <br />mileage ). We are currently 1.55 miles below our theoretic <br />nileage allowance. Ardan Avenue between Red Oak Drive and Long <br />Lake Road is 0.38 mile in length. We would still be 1.17 miles <br />below our maximum allowed mileage. <br />We will be discussing a development_ in the near future which may <br />require revoking another MSA segment that is currently not <br />constructed; Jackson Drive south of TH 10. This would increase <br />our 'undesignated allowable mileage' to 1.45 miles. I believe it <br />is in the City's best interest to maximize our designated <br />mileage. Our maintenance and construction appropriations from the <br />state are based on ou: mileage. The problem at this point is <br />which streets to designate. Also of concern is the future of Long <br />Lake Road. At the time of the realignment of County Road 32/ <br />County Road J Long Lakes Road and a portion of 85th Avenue will be <br />disconnected from the realigned county road. It is almost a <br />certainty that the county will turn back these roads to the City <br />at that time. <br />C <br />
