The proposed project is part of a three phased reconstruction of CSAH 18 from TH 41 to CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard), consisting of multimodal, capacity, geometric and access management improvements, which will improve the overall operations and safety along the corridor (see Figure 1). The proposed improvements would directly impact TH 41, a state highway (see Attachment 2), as the intersection of CSAH 18 and TH 41 is included in the project limits. The proposed project is consistent with the Metro District Highway Investment Plan (HIP), and will not adversely affect trunk highway operations. Phase 1 of the project from CSAH 19 to CSAH 15 (Audubon Road) was completed in 2009. Phase 3 from CSAH 15 to CSAH 17 is currently under construction. The proposed project focuses on Phase 2B of the CSAH 18 project from TH 41 to CSAH 19 (Galpin Boulevard). This future stage of reconstruction builds upon Phases 1 and 3, by providing continuous reconstruction ftom a two -lane undivided to a four -lane divided roadway between TH 41 and CSAH 17 (Powers Boulevard). The proposed project calls for installing a center median which will improve traffic flow and increase levels of safety by minimizing full access along the CSAH 18 corridor. In addition, the installation of left -turn lanes will reduce the potential for rear -end type crashes by separating turning vehicles from through traffic. The proposed project also includes a two -way trail along the north side of the corridor connecting to Phase 1 and 3 trail segments, and to the City of Chaska, City of Chanhassen and Carver County trail systems. Addressing capacity, safety and mobility concerns in the project area is a high priority for Carver County and the City of Chanhassen. All three phases of the project implement identified capacity needs in the Carver County Transportation Plan, and the City of Chaska and City of Chanhassen Transportation Plans. Future plans include the intensification of commercial development south of the project, and along CSAH 18 (Lyman Boulevard) at the TH 101 /TH 212 interchange. With the additional potential for development of a major commercial area near the east end the corridor at CSAH 17, improvements to CSAH 18 are a critical element in overall growth plans. In addition, the connection of CSAH 17 to TH 212 will place greater demands on CSAH 18 to provide a better connection from TH 41 to TH 212. The proposed project includes operational improvements at the CSAH 18 and TH 41 intersection which will require use of Mn/DOT right -of -way. The total estimated construction cost for this project is $6,513,050. Carver County plans to apply for funding for 2015 construction in the amount of $5,210,440, with a 20 percent local match. No financial contribution from Mn/DOT is expected. If you have questions or comments about the project, please contact me at lrobjent(kco.carver.mn.us or at (952) 466 -5207.
