fl Mr. Jay Hartman. July 19, 2000 Page 6 EVP cabinet control equipment (the controller cabinet at this intersection does not have a card rack available for mounting this equipment). Hennepin County would have relatively minor work to complete at this intersection to make the EVP system operational (approximately 5 hours of labor and some materials). The County estimates that this work can be completed for approximately $350. 7 Kenzie Terrace at Kenzingion Apartments/Autumn Woods Apartments Sight distance is not a problem for any of the intersection approaches, thus no detectors other than signs mast arm mounted detectors would be needed. Materials that would need to be purchased from Traffic Control Corporation would include four (4) detectors,cable to operate each detector, and the cabinet control equipment needed to operate the system. Hennepin County would have relatively minor work to complete at this intersection to make the EVP system operational (approximately 4 hours of labor and some materials). The County estimates that this work can be completed for approximately $300. • 8 Kenzie Terrace/Lowry Avenue at Stinson Parkway Sight distance for northbound and southbound Stinson Parkway and for eastbound Lowry Avenue is good, and detection for these approaches can be accomplished with signal mast arm mounted detectors only (no advance detectors). For westbound Kenzie Terrace;due to a curve in the roadway,a separate pedestal pole mounted detector is recommended to be installed for this approach (in addition to a signal mast arm mounted detector at the intersection). This detector would need to be located approximately 250'west of the intersection to provide adequate sight distance for westbound emergency traffic. Materials that would need to be purchased from Traffic Control Corporation would include the five (5) detectors(as described above),and cable to operate each detector. The City of Minneapolis mentioned that they may be able to provide the EVP cabient control equipment and the card rack for the controller cabinet. as part of the new controller and cabinet needed at this intersection(see below),but for estimating purposes we are showing these items as being purchased by the City from Traffic Control Corporation. Per conversations with Steve Mosing of the City of Minneapolis, the controller and cabinet at this intersection is old(1979)and is incapable of accepting EVP operation. A new controller and cabinet would need to be furnished and installed by the City of Minneapolis in order to make EVP operational. Steve estimated that this would cost approximately$25,000 to complete this work. The City of Minneapolis does not have the funding available to share in the cost of this EVP system, and is not programming any work at this intersection in the near future. Thus, if the City of St. Anthony wishes to pursue EVP operation at- • this intersection, all costs related to this work (including the new controller and cabinet) would be the responsibility of the City of St. Anthony. Steve did mention that Minneapolis may be able to provide the EVP cabinet control equipment and the card rack as part of the package for providing a new.controller and cabinet at the intersection, but that would be the only costs that Minneapolis could share in at this time.
