Background/Discussion The Capital Improvement Plan identifies a project to reconstruct Old Snelling Avenue, including bridge reconstruction (Attachment A) at a cost of $1,750,000. Ramsey County and City staff have been discussing intersection improvements at Old Snelling Avenue and County Road E/Lake Johanna Boulevard. The County has requested that the City include the intersection improvements as a part of the Old Snelling Avenue reconstruction project. The project is scheduled for construction during 2019. In order to determine optimal improvements for the intersection, a traffic study is required. The attached Cooperative Agreement, which has been reviewed by the City Attorney, spells out the City’s financial contribution to the study. WSB has provided a scope of work and fee totaling $35,642.00 (Attachment C). Since the City’s right of way extends on only one leg of the intersection (Old Snelling Avenue south of County Road E), the City’s proposed contribution is 25% or $8,910.50.
