2c. MnDOT to consider turn lanes on 101 at Pleasant view Rd & Cheyenne Trail I 0.1G I CITY OF . s ili 1 CHANHASSEN I 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O. BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937 -1900 • FAX (612) 937 -5739 1 , ^ r MEMORANDUM - ✓ A 1 A3 - 91 TO: Charles Folch, Assistant City Engineer 1 FROM: Dave Hempel, Sr. Engineering Technician L, II DATE: January 23, 1991 SUBJ: Request MnDCT to Consider Construction of Auxiliary Turn Lanes on South Bound Trunk Highway 101 at Pleasant View Road and Cheyenne Trail II Project No. 91-6 The City currently has plans for construction of auxiliary right turn lanes on 1 south bound Trunk Highway 101 at Sandy Hook Road and Choctaw Circle under a cooperative agreement with MnDCT. During the approval process for this project the City Council directed staff to also consider constructing an auxiliary turn - 1 lane on south bound Trunk Highway 101 at Cheyenne Trail. Staff has conducted a study of the intersections along Trunk Highway 101 and determined besides the previous intersections proposed for right turn lanes the only remaining intersections without turn lanes would be Cheyenne Trail and Pleasant View Road. 1 Therefore staff has included Pleasant View Road in this consideration. Staff feels that construction of auxiliary turn lanes on south bound Trunk Highway 101 at Cheyenne Trail and Pleasant View Road would add a degree of safety for 1 turning vehicles and maintain an orderly flow of traffic along Trunk Highway 101. I The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) considers Trunk Highway 101 as a temporary trunk highway and therefore has no plans for upgrading in the future except safety related improvements. MnDOI has a special agreement program whereby municipalities who are interested in having safety related 1 improvements constructed along state highways should submit written requests prior to May 15, 1991. All request are then prioritized from a safety standpoint and written responses with the results are sent out in early August, 1 1991. Once the City has received project approval from MnDCT construction plans can be prepared, advertising for bids authorized and a joint cooperative agreement executed with MnDCT. Construction could be tenatively scheduled for II Fall construction (1991) pending on an executed cooperative agreement with MnDCT. The estimated construction cost for both turn lanes is $35,000. It will be the 1 City's responsibility to provide the engineering and acquire any additional right- of-way for the project. However, no additional right-of-way is 1 1 11 Charles Folch January 23, 1991 Page 2 anticipated to be required for either of the turn lanes. The City will be reimbursed the State's share of the cooperative construction costs plus a percentage of that amount (typically 8 %) for engineering fees. A11 costs not reimbursed by MnDOT will be paid out of the City's Local State Aid Fund #415. On January 10, 1991 this request was presented to the Public Safety Commission for review and consideration. The Public Safety Commission voted in favor to support the construction of right turn lanes on south bound Trunk Highway 101 at Pleasant View Road and Cheyenne Trail. 1 It is recommended that the City Council formally request the Minnesota Department of Transportation consider construction of auxiliary right turn lanes on south bound Trunk Highway 101 at Cheyenne Trail and Pleasant View Road using cooperative agreement funds. lap 1 Attachment: Location Map. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ I ., 1 I .. .
