REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT ROBERT RADDATZ Cost Estimate - Temporary RiRht Turn Lane. Hamline Avenue/STH 96 Council was referred to Raddatz's memo re Right Hand Turn Lane, Hamline and Highway 96, and to chalk board drawing of the existing Hamline right-of-way conditions, and the proposed temporary right turn lane, which he estimated could be constructed by City personnel (about 100 hours) and $1,000 - $2,000 (gravel and asphalt), can utilize excess peat mix available to City for road slopes and parks. Raddatz noted that an existing gate valve and telephone pole will have to be relocated, and a permit for the construction will be needed from MnDOT (STH 96 right-of-way).
