The project includes widening US 10, providing a slip ramp from the US 10 <br />service road to Highway 96, providing both right in and right out access from the service road to <br />US 10, and construction of 20-foot high noise walls. Included in the project is the replacement of <br />the City’s 12” trunk watermain in the project area. <br /> <br />Recently MnDOT contacted City staff to inquire about turning back the US 10 frontage road <br />between Prior Avenue (Big 10 Tavern) and Highway 96 (Attachment A). The City currently <br />maintains this roadway although it is located within MnDOT right of way. With the proposed <br />highway improvement project, the frontage road will be repaved due to the installation of City <br />watermain. In addition to the Big 10 Tavern, there are six residential homes with access onto the <br />frontage road. Staff will provide information regarding the possibility of adding this roadway to <br />the City’s State Aid system. <br /> <br />Future actions regarding the US 10 Highway Improvement Project that the City will be asked to <br />consider are a cooperative agreement with MnDOT for the construction of the trunk watermain <br />and a submittal to the Minnesota Public facilities Authority regarding the budget appropriation <br />for the watermain. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A – Location Map <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM - 1F <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
