t Removing the existing pedestrian push button station on the northwest comer, and relocating the inplace pedestrian push ' button onto the above mentioned signal pole. The relocated traffic signal pole would provide a more secure location for this push button. • Furnishing and installing a new loop detector in the pavement for the eastbound intersection approach. The inplace loop detector will be lost with the reconstruction of the pavement in this area. All traffic signal modification work would be completed in coordination with Hennepin County, to meet County and MN/DOT State Aid Standards. A Hennepin County Utility permit is required in order to be able to have work completed on the County owned signal system. Hennepin County is planning to replace the inplace aged controller and cabinet at this signal system with a new controller and cabinet, in the fall of 1999. In conjunction with the County work and the proposed modifications to the signal system mentioned above, it may be desirable for the City to consider adding Emergency Vehicle Preemption(EVP)to the signal system. Contractor costs to install EVP at the same time that the proposed signal modifications are being completed would be less than if EVP were to be installed separately. In addition, cabinet modification costs from the County to make the cabinet EVP-ready (which the City would be responsible for paying to the County to add EVP) would be minimal with the installation of new controller equipment by the County. A cost estimate to install EVP at this intersection is in this report. Finally, with the above-mentioned signal system upgrades, it may be desirable for the City to consider other signal modifications to improve the look and operation of the signal system. Suggested signal modifications may include painting the signal system,and having LED signal indications installed. Cost estimates for these items can be provided to the City of St. Anthony should there be a desire to pursue any of these proposed signal modifications. 4.0 Pavement Reconstruction 4.1 Edward Street The bituminous surface on Edward Street south of 33rd Avenue will be ' replaced where sanitary sewer improvements will be done.The bituminous street will be complete replacement from the front of the concrete gutters.
