RE: TH 101 S.A. Asst. 1
Chanhassen
Dear Mr. Weichselbaum: __•. - ll
As you are aware, the City of Chanhassen is in the process of implementing a
downtown redevelopment program which includes the upgrading of a portion of TH
101 through the downtown area. Currently, construction has occurred through the
placement of the first lift of asphalt. Construction has concluded for the II winter, with the road now back open to traffic. Final construction including
landscaping, signing, pavement markings, and the final wear course is antici-
pated for completion in the spring of 1988.
The roadway has now been open and functioning for about two months (since
Thanksgiving) , and the City has received some complaints and concerns regarding
the roadway function and signage. I
We have been asked by the City to address the three following concerns:
1. The removal of the stop signs at the corner of TH 101 and Great Plains 1
Boulevard.
2. No parking zones. I
3. The intersection Design - TH 101 and West 78th Street.
We have enclosed for your review, plan sheets illustrating the areas of par- I
ticular concern. We request that you have your staff review these areas so that
we can review with you possible changes prior to construction start up next II spring.
Due to the complaints the City Council has received, we are very interested in
pursuing possible solutions as quickly as possible so that we can keep the City
II
Council and City Staff informed. BRW stands ready to work with you as necessary
to attempt to find alternative solutions to each of these concerns.
