^^9 •• <br />MAY 2 7 9f)n^ <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY OF OfiONO <br />DATE: May 27,2003 <br />ITEM NO = <br />Department Approval: <br />Naaic Gregoiy A. Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />Public Services Directors Report <br />Item Description: MNDOT TH12 Traffic Signals Agreement*ResoIution <br />As part of the new TH12 project, several traffic signal improvements will be made. A new traffic <br />sig^ will be installed at the intersection of the relocated County Road 146 (Brown Road) <br />intersection with Highway 12. Improvements to the existing Old Crystal Bay Road/TH12 signal <br />include adding a northbound Old Crystal Bay Road to westbound TH12 left turn arrow, replacing <br />the incandescent bulbs with new longer lasting and more energy efficient LED bulbs, and installing <br />an Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) System. This system will provide a green light for <br />emergency vehicles to cross Highway 12 which is important because the Orono police station is <br />located adjacent to this intersection. During rush hour periods, it is difficult for the police vehicles <br />to safely cross highway 12. <br />This cooperative agreement is the same basic agreement that is already inplace for the existing <br />Highway 12 signals at Old Crystal Bay Road and Willow Drive. The City is responsible for light <br />bulb replacement, signal painting, and payment of the electricity costs for signal operation. The city <br />is also responsible for a share of the construction costs for these projects which is estimated to be <br />$37,800. These costs are eligible for Municipal State Aid Funding. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to approve resolution authorizing the City to enter into a cooperative agreement with <br />MNDOT for the TH12 traffic signal improvements. <br />iMNtlini
