HAMBL.If'; We are writing to review the Cllrrent Mllnicipal State Aid Highway Program. A t a recent p[¡blic information hearing, it was decided not to constrllct any MSAH , streets in the Green Acres, Northwoods and Red Oaks Manor Area. I 1976 PROGRAM We had rebommended possibly postponing any MSAH constrllction llntil 1977 based on con~trllcting some of the streets in the 1976-1 Sanitary Sewer Project Area. Since ~he COllncil has gone on record not to constrllct in this area, we recommend t e COllncil proceed with a 1976 State Aid Program on Prairie Road. The fOlloJing is a preliminary "ballpark" cost estimate for Prairie Road constrllctionj Year Location Type of Constrllction Cost Estimate 1976 Prairie Road(MSAH 101) - COllnty R/W Acqllisition $ 40,000.00 Road )116 to CSAH 18 (2.52 miles) 1976 Prair ie Road - CSAH 16 to Grading & Gravel $115, 000. 00 CSA~ 18 (1. 6 miles) Sllrfacing 1977 Prairie Road - CSAH 16 to CSAH Bitllminolls Sllrfacing $ 43,000.00 18 (It miles) Becallse t e preliminary cost estimates are very general, we recom~end the COllncil proc~ed on the basis of accomplishing the right-of-way acqllisition and the I gravel sllrfacing as listed above. The bitllminolls sllrfacing can be done in 1977 with Cllrrent State Aid funds. I Honorable Mayor and City Council Members April 19, 1976 Page Two To avoid any penalty for not proceeding in accordance with the Minnesota Highway Department time schedule, we must award construction contracts by September 1, 1976. PRAIRIE ROAD AND SOUTH COON CREEK BRIDGE The State Legislature passed a bill for bridge replacement in the State amounting to $50 million for fiscal year 1977(July 1, 1976 - July 1, 1977). The Governor has until April 21, 1976 to sign the bill. If the bill passes the following is a split of the funding: a) State 2.5 Million b) Counties 13. 5 Million c) Cities 6.5 Million d) Townships 5.0 Million The program provides for entire replacement cost. The City has two bridges eligible for replacement at this time. Both bridges are included in the MSAH system, and can be funded under that program. However, with th" current legislation the City could get the bridge construction cost from the Bridge Replacement Program and the engineering costs from the MSAH fund. The bridges are listed as follows in the State replacement program: Ranking in State of 15,000 1) Prairie Road Bridge No. 190 3015 2) I . 3738 Coon Creek Drive No. 5103 I On this rating system, ranking No.1 is worst and No. 15,000 is least bad. The cur- I rent plan of the Minnesota Highway Department is to fund on a first corne-first serve basis. 1 RECOMMEND nON We recomm1end the Council take the following action: 1) Pass a r,esolution callipg for an information Public Hearing for all property owners along Prairie Road (MSAH 101) from CSAH 18 (Crosstown Boulevard NW) to County Road 16 (Bunker Lake Boulevard) for May 4, 1976 at 8:00 PM to discts information contained in this report. Attached is a letter to be sent to roperty owners. 2) Authorize the preparation of final plans and specifications for the bridge re- placement of Prairie Road and Coon Creek Drive, if the Governor signs the Bridge Replacement bill. ) Honorable Mayor and City Council Members April 19, 1976 Page Three We will review this report with the Council at the April 20, 1976 meeting.
