<br />. Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> January 9, 1993 <br /> Page Four <br /> The frontage road is the preferred MnDOT alternative as it would eliminate three <br /> entrances/exits on TH 51 at Old Snelling Avenue, Glen Hill Road, and Asbury Avenue. <br /> Funding would be available for roadway costs through MnDOT's Cooperative Agreement <br /> process. The Cities of Arden Hills and Roseville would be responsible for the cost of all right- <br /> of-way acquisition and any utility relocations, making this the more costly alternative. <br /> PROJECT SCHEDULE <br /> Exhibit 3 shows MnDOT's local initiative project development process. A proposed project <br /> schedule corresponding to this process is as follows: <br /> Planning Process <br /> Idea or Need Identified March 1991 <br /> Meet with MnDOT Project Coordinator November 1992 <br /> Coordinate with MnDOT Counterparts December 1992 <br /> Advise Locals Next Step December 1992 <br />. Develop "Right" Picture (FeasibilitylLayout) January 1993 <br /> Develop Cost Estimates February 1993 <br /> Desie-n Process <br /> City Develop Plans & Specifications February 1993 <br /> City Submit 3 Copies for Review March 1993 <br /> Revise/Resubmit April 1993 <br /> MnDOT Approval June 1993 <br /> City Advertise for Bids June 1993 <br /> City Signs Cooperative Agreement and Receive Reimbursement August 1993 <br /> Eligible Costs <br /> City Awards Contract August 1993 <br /> Complete Construction November 1993 <br /> This schedule would be delayed if MnDOT funding is not programmed for 1993. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> Both alternatives are feasible from an engineering standpoint. The cost of right-of-way for the <br /> frontage road would increase the estimated cost for Alternative 2. Alternative 2 would also <br /> require extensive coordination with the City of Roseville and Northwestern College. Of the <br /> two alternatives, the proposed intersection realignment would provide the least cost to the City. <br />. <br /> 030-IS06.dec <br />
