RE: Traffic and Road Concerts—Wor Sessign Discussion
\ l.
Mayor McComber asked to have a discussion about our frontage roads and options for rerouting or
other concepts. She kindly asked if staff could provide some maps showing some options for discussion
as well as issue of the use of 57th street as cut-through traffic as MNDOT work commences in 2014 west
of Osgood Ave.See the enclosed maps—showing some very early concepts.
Mr. Adam Josephson from MNDOT also indicated that there is$200,000 left for cost sharing studies
from the 2005 Transportation Bill as it relates to planning for STH 36.See his enclosed email. 20%City
cost match.

The $400K (actual only about$360K was obligated) in federal funds is for design and study activities,we spent part of it
on the initial city utility study work ($30K) and then with OPH city council OK we made $'s available to the City of Lake
Elmo to study a south frontage road ($80K). So at this point there is probably about$200+ K available for further studies
along Hwy 36. Since the legislation only talks about preliminary design and study these HPP funds would not be
available for construction or R/W acquisition, but (with FHWA approval) they probably could be used for FR
design. They are 80 federal /20 Iota; match funds.

Jon,
The Council has a meeting at 7 pm next Tuesday if you plan to attend and give an update?
Two points:
1. At this point I have briefed the council on the water main issue but have advised them that both staffs are still
looking at it. But you may get a question.
2. The may be a question related to rerouting other frontage roads and how can possibly Federal Funds, I believe
they were assigned in 2005 be used for such study? (I know adam J knows about these...?) Maybe it was like
$400,000 with a 20%local match?
Beyond that, probably the same old...
Thanks
Eric
