shoulder widening project, we could perform that easier and cheaper by keeping the rural <br /> section. <br /> If you could, please also comment on whether or not these proposed changes would affect the <br /> schedule of the project (construction slated for the summer of 2014). We still hope to have a <br /> letting for this project during the 2014 construction season. But as you know, right -of -way <br /> acquisition, utility relocations and weather will play an important part in when we can <br /> commence and complete the project. <br /> Finally, please be aware that the elimination of turn lanes is not necessarily the preference of the <br /> City Council at this time. However, the City Council would like to simply ask the question of <br /> whether or not the county would agree to proceed under these scenarios, if the City Council <br /> ultimately recommended these eliminations. The county has attempted to refine the project <br /> scope to support the traffic capacity and safety needs of the highway, the storm sewer and trail <br /> needs of the city, and the comments we received from the public. The scenarios that are being <br /> proposed by these questions essentially removes the traffic capacity and safety needs of the <br /> highway while preserving the storm sewer and trail improvements of the city. This substantially <br /> diminishes the county's "return on investment" as far as the county highway is concerned and <br /> would lead us to once again (as originally proposed several years ago) recommend a reclaim <br /> and overlay project on this section of highway. <br /> D07ZF <br /> Douglas W.
