Approve Cooperative Agreement with Chaska for Temporary
Traffic Signal at Trunk Highway 41 and 82"d Street West - Project
No. 97-1B-3
The need for a traffic signal installation at the above-referenced location was
identified in 1995 by the City of Chaska. Now with the development of the
Arboretum Business Park property, the developer has requested the City proceed
with the installation of the temporary traffic signal.
The attached agreement outlines the mutual understanding between Chanhassen
and Chaska regarding the methodology by which the installation and maintenance
of a temporary traffic signal will occur. Chanhassen will assume all responsibilities
for project initiation and contract administration as this project was identified in
the Arboretum Business Park public improvements feasibility study. Chanhassen's
share of the construction cost for the temporary traffic signal is estimated to be
$50,000 as identified in the feasibility study for the Arboretum Business Park
public improvements.
Pending MnDOT approval of the signalization project, the local share of the
project shall be paid 50% by Chaska and 50% by Chanhassen as outlined in the
attached signal agreement. It is unknown at this time whether or not MnDOT will
participate in funding for this temporary traffic signal installation.
Staff recommends approval of the attached agreement with the changes shown in
bold print.
