As <br />you may recall, the Guidant Masterplan calls for this segment of roadway to be vacated and <br />turned over to them for use in their campus circulation. In order to vacate the roadway, the City <br />must first remove the State Aid designation. <br /> <br />The segment ofFernwood Avenue is approximately 0.64 miles in length and represents <br />approximately 10% of our total of 6 miles of State Aid designated routes. In the interest of <br />maximizing our ability to draw State Aid funds, the City Engineer and City staff are currently <br />evaluating the designation of other City Streets to replace the Femwood Avenue mileage. Based <br />upon State Aid rules, only a few existing non-designated streets are eligible for State Aid <br />Designation. The two best options are the segment of Dunlap Street between Grey Fox and Red <br />Fox Road and the segment of G1enpaul Avenue between Cleveland Avenue and New Brighton <br />Road. We will be providing Council with a recommendation on the designation of State Aid <br />Status to one or more City streets in the near future, following discussions with MnDOT staff. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />The City Engineer recommends that the Council Approve Resolution 02-61 removing State Aid <br />designation from Fernwood Avenue between County Road F and Guidant Drive North <br />(Cummings Park Drive). <br />
