Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to provide the council and update on the progress to date on the OCB feasibility study, get council feedback on the proposed courses of action and develop a plan for engagement on partnership with the Orono School district. 2. Background. In July the council authorized staff and Bolton and Menk to conduct a feasibility study for the reconstruction and reconfiguration of Old Crystal Bay Road between County Road 112 and County Road 6. This section of road bisects the Orono School District campus and provides access to multiple school district facilities. At the present time, the road is experiencing heavy congestion during peak hours for school drop-off and pickup. Using traffic information provided in previous studies, Bolton & Menk has evaluated vehicle and pedestrian circulation to develop alternatives that minimize conflicts at intersections, minimize traffic queues, increase safety for pedestrians, and improve traffic operations along Old Crystal Bay Road and adjacent streets. 3. Agenda / Discussion Points. A. Review of courses of action. Bolton & Menk will be at the Council Workshop on to review the information and alternatives that have been prepared to date and will be looking for council feedback for continued project development. B. Partnership with the Orono School District. Due to the cost and impacts of any course of action on the school district it is important the city have a plan for engagement with the school district. Subject should include: (1). Initial engagement and development of structure for partnership. (2). Design review process. (3). Cost Sharing. (4). Scheduling.
