Motion carried. IX. NEW BUSINESS 1. Brian Drive Bridge Evaluation Administrator Statz reviewed the proposal from Stantec regarding the Brian Drive bridge. He stated that the culverts under Brian Drive, are large enough to be classified as a “bridge”, under the MNDOT rules. Every two years the bridge (set of two culverts) is inspected and, from time to time, minor maintenance is recommended and completed. An inspection from a few years ago found the bridge to be under- designed for heavier loads; something which had never been pointed out before. The immediate solution was to put up "restricted bridge" signs, limiting the loads that can travel across it. For most traffic, this is fine, but there are an issue with heavy loads. Unfortunately, one of those heavy loads is a fire engine. Page 7 of 10
