<br />AdministratorÓs Report <br /> <br />April 10, 2024 <br />ADMINISTRATION <br />Town Hall Open House <br />Over 40 people dropped by City Hall on Monday, March 25 to check out some of the proposed projects and <br />initiatives around the city. Residents were able to speak with staff and council about development and the <br />LaLonde proposal as well as capital projects (both funded and unfunded). We want to thank everyone who <br />came out to give input and engage in meaningful conversation. WeÓre already planning on other venues for <br />similar listening sessions. Watch for your opportunity to be heard at upcoming public hearings, or less <br />formal events like during our summer parks activities. <br /> <br />ENGINEERING <br />TH <br />20 Avenue (CSAH 54) Corridor Study Open House <br />On March 26, Anoka County and the Cities of Lino Lakes and Centerville hosted an open house to look at <br />th <br />draft layouts for the 20 Avenue corridor study. Business owners and residents showed up to have one-on-one <br />conversations with County and City Engineering and Planning staff. The two layouts featured one with and <br />one without roundabouts. As participants logged their votes for traffic calming strategies, roundabouts rose to <br />the top as the overwhelming favorite. There were also lots of very site-specific comments that will prove <br />valuable as the final proposed layout is aggregated. What everyone seemed to agree on was that traffic through <br />rd <br />the corridor from Birch Street, up to 73 Street should be slowed. In the next month or so, the county will <br />finalize the corridorÓs general layout and look for both cities to adopt the findings of the report. No specific <br />dates have been set for any construction project contemplated by the report, as there are not immediate plans <br />for a project in either the County or CityÓs Capital Improvement Plans. Many factors will be considered as to <br />when all or portions of the corridor would be reconstructed, including the pace and location of various <br />developments, any crash or other safety trends, traffic volume growth and business needs. <br /> <br /> <br />
