Department Approval: <br />� <br />REQUEST �"O� COUNCIL ACTION <br />?��fan���r Rc�i�r��� <br />��� <br />�._. <br />DATE: 1214106 <br />ITEM NO.: �, <br />Agenda Section: <br />Item Description: Consider Appointing Representatives to a Technical Advisory Committee <br />for Concept Plan Development for the Reconstruction of Rice Street. <br />Background: Ramsey County is beginning a planning process for the reconstruction of Rice <br />Street from Highway 36 to County Road J. They could begin reconstructing segments of this <br />corridor as early as the next 2-3 years. Since Rice Street is a boundary for several cities, they <br />would like to use a process they had used prior to the reconstruction of Highway 96. This process <br />involved forming an advisory cornrnittec made up of representatives from each of the cities to <br />recommend goals and objectives for the needs of the corridor. This will help the County in <br />designing a roadway that meets the transportation needs for the desired land uses as they exist or <br />as proposed. <br />They would like to begin this process in January and are requesting each city appoint four <br />members to this group. They would meet approximately once per month for 9 to 10 months. <br />They are asking that the appointees represent staff, elected officials, the business community, and <br />residents. Eventually, the concept plan for the corridor would be presented to the city councils for <br />acceptance. <br />Attached is a letter and information regarding this process from Ramsey County Public Works. <br />(Attachment A) Staff would seek direction as to how the Council would like to proceed with <br />these appointments. <br />RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Appointment of four representatives to a Technical <br />Advisory Committee for the concept plan development for the reconstruction of Rice Street. <br />Prepared by: Duane Schwart� <br />
