Bernhardson, City Adrainistrato <br />May 31, 1990 <br />SUBJECT: Highway 12 Safety Improvement <br />ISSUE - <br />1. Presentation to the Council of the final draft plans for the <br />Highway 12 safety improvement. <br />INTRODUCTION - At the Council's July 24, 1989 Council meeting <br />Council reviewed the plans for the Highway 12 safety improvement. <br />Concerns expressed at that meeting related primarily to the left <br />turns at Willow Drive if a light were not to go in. <br />DISCUSSION - Subsequent to that consideration the Minnesota <br />Department of Transportation directed that a traffic warrant <br />analysis be conducted at that site. That evaluation commenced <br />the forepart of May and was concluded the end of May. The <br />preliminary results of that analysis are that the light will be <br />warranted at the time that the safety improvement will be done <br />based on the Otten project and an expected project in the <br />southwest quadrant of Willow and Highway 12. The final designs <br />incorporate a traffic signal in that construction. This design <br />was done in anticipation of the traffic anaylsis being warranted. <br />A copy of the analysis hopefully will be available the later part <br />of June at which time a synoposis of the analysis, the final <br />plans and a draft resolution will be presented for Council <br />approval. <br />As you may have also noted the City of Long Lake has approved the <br />final plans for the construction. It is anticipated that <br />construction will commence in 1992 with completion in 1993. <br />RECOMMENDATION -• It is recommended the Council accept the <br />Tnformation presented. <br />PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by seconded by that the Council <br />accept the information presented regarding the Highway 12 safety <br />improvement.
