COUNTY ROAD 112 TURNBACK PROJECT <br /> <br />Kristy Morter and Mike Turner with the Hennepin County Transportation Department were present. <br /> <br />Mike Turner stated since they were before the City Council last winter, they have been working with <br />Hennepin County on several processes and are now approximately 60 percent done with the design. <br /> <br />Turner indicated this project runs the complete length of County Road 112, from its westerly border out at <br />County Road 6 all the way to its connection with Old Highway 12 on the east by Wayzata. Last winter <br />the Council approved a preliminary layout, and since then the project has been broken out into three <br />construction phases. Phase one goes from Willow Road to Cemetery Road. Currently that project is <br />scheduled for construction in 2017 and will be completed in 2018. Phase two is from Cemetery Road to <br />the connection near Wayzata, and phase three travels from Highway 6 to Willow Road. <br /> <br />Turner noted last winter they talked about some discretionary improvements by the City in conjunction <br />with this project. The first item on the cost spreadsheet relates to additional lighting and accessories <br />along the corridor. Essentially this item relates to the installation of street lighting that matches the <br />proposed street lighting Long Lake is considering. The indications from Long Lake are that they are <br />interested in lighting their segment. It would amount to seven or eight lights along the north side of <br />Highway 112 from Willow Road to Brown Road.
