Staff also had a brief discussion with the Post Office and determined that the <br />Post Office would approve relocating mailboxes but due to the manner in which <br />they operate the mail delivery route all mailboxes would need to be located on <br />either the east or west side of the roadway. Based on the survey results and in <br />order to avoid potential conflicts with the new pathway, staff is recommending <br />that all mailboxes be moved to the west side of the roadway. <br />3.2® £ !«¨¦­¬¤­³ <br /> <br />Currently the road is aligned straight north-south with an 800 foot section of roadway <br />that is aligned mostly east-west. There are two curves in the alignment that transition <br />the roadway from north-south to east-west and then back to north-south. The first curve <br />as you travel north from Larpenteur is an all way stop controlled intersection and <br />therefore meets State Aid requirements. <br />The second curve is near the trail entrance to Reservoir Woods and does not meet State <br />Aid requirements based on posted speed limit (40 mph) as well as minimum design <br />speed allowances (30 mph). City staff requested a variance to State Aid rules for this <br />curve and was granted said variance given the following conditions: <br />Appropriate lighting is provided <br /> <br />As much as practicable, vegetation is cleared within the sight corner <br /> <br />Reflective delineation through the curve is considered <br /> <br />Signage in accordance with the Minnesota Manual of Uniform Traffic Control <br /> <br />Devices (MnMUTCD) be provided <br />Given this variance and the other proposed elements of the project no additional <br />permanent right-of-way is required for this project. <br />AMENDMENT: In order to address geometric deficiencies with the current vertical <br />profile of Victoria Street and without impacting residential lots, it is recommended <br />that the speed limit be lowered to 30 miles per hour by declaring Victoria Street an <br />urban section per Minnesota State Statutes 169.14 Subdivision 5b, and using the <br />statutory speed limit of 30 miles per hour for an urban section. <br />The particular elements of the proposed design are as follows: <br />a.6¨¢³®±¨  3³±¤¤³ ¥±®¬ , ±¯¤­³¤´± !µ¤ ³® 2®²¤« ¶­ !µ¤ <br /> <br />Staff is proposing to construct a 32 foot wide street with a rural design.
