The Willow Drive construction can proceed with or without the traffic control signal at T.H. <br />12. We would coordinate our work with the preliminary plan provided by Mn/DOT for the <br />signal. <br />The preliminary report for Willow Drive provides for an urban section for the 500 feet adjacent <br />to T.H. 12 and a rural section to the north. The City staff has discussed the need for a pathway <br />along Willow Drive between T.H. 12 and Co. Rd. 6, The construction of an urban section over <br />the entire length would allow for significantly less right-of-way acquisition. <br />The construction of the rural section on Willow Drive requires that the roadway centerline be <br />moved 10 feet west through the center area of the project. This would be to minimize tree <br />removal in front of the homes on the east side. The additional right-of-way along the west side <br />necessary to construct the road was estimated to be 15 feet with the rural section. If the <br />pathway were tc be constructed, the .^dditionai right-of-way would increase to 25 feet. <br />The construction of an urban section would allow the roadway to follow the existing centerline <br />with no significant tree removal along the east side. The pathway could be constructed along <br />the west side with no additional right-of-way if a separation of six feet was provided between <br />the pathway and curb. We would recommend that five feet of right-of-way be obtained to allow <br />for a separation of 10 feet <br />We would recommend that Willow Drive be constructed with an urban section to accommodate <br />the pathway without significant right-of-way acquisition. We will continue to pursue the <br />temporary signal construction with Mn/DOT if desired by the City. <br />Please contact this office if you have any questions. <br />Yours very truly, <br />BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />Glenn R.
