APPROVING PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 21 FROM MAIN AVENUE TO DULUTH AVENUE AND ARCADIA AVENUE FROM COLORADO STREET TO MIDBLOCK BETWEE N CSAH 21 AND DAKOTA STREET. DISCUSSION: Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to seek approval from the City Council for the plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for t he Arcadia and County Road 21 Improvement Proje ct. History In 2005 Scott County and the City of Prior Lake adopted the CR 21 Corridor Study completed by Scott County. This study identified several improvements necessary to maintain adequate access to the Prior Lake downtown as traffic volumes are expected to increase from about 10,300 to more than 27,000 by 2030. The study identified that at some point in the future Main Avenue would become a right - in , right - out access only. A f ull signalized access would be provided at Arcadia Avenue. Addition ally a ¾ access would be provided at Pleasant Street from TH 13 at some point in the future . In 2008 the City of Prior Lake completed a feasibility study for improvement of the Arcadia Intersection. The total projec t cost is estimated to be $3.05 million . The City of Prior Lake prioritized the Arcadia Avenue Intersection improvements for design in 2010 and construction in 2011 as part of the 2010 - 2014 Capital Improvement Program. The City also made a funding request to Scott County for the project. The County ide ntified $750k of funding for project construction. Based on tax levy bonding concerns the City deferred the design and right - of - way acquisition costs to 2011 with construction scheduled for 2012. In the Summer of 2010 the City Council authori zed completion of an alternative alignment analysis for CR 21 through downtown Prior Lake . The study concluded in October with the selection of the “Baseline Option”. On December 6, 2010 the City Council authorized the Mayor and City Manager to execute a contract with WSB & Associates for the project design services. On February 7 , 2011 the City Council authorized s taff to direct WSB to proceed with preliminary design work required to determine need ed right of way (ROW) and easements for the project . T he City Council authorized th staff to perf orm appraisals for this project on April 4 , 2011. Negot iation for property acquisitions is presently underway and proceeding as expected. th On June 20 , 2011, the City Council authorized the completion of the fina l design. In September, the County opened County Road 21 north of County Road 42 to Highway 169. Current Circumstances T his project is scheduled to be bid in Feb/ March 2012 for construction in the spring of 2012. Several additional City Council acti ons will be required prior to construction including the approval of a Cooperative Agreement with Scott County and the award of the project. The project includes storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water main, concrete curb and gutter, aggregate base, bitumi nous surfacing, and appurtenant work. The construction of this project is proposed to be fu nded through Municipal State Aid, Tax L evy, Street Oversize Fund, Scott County, W ater Quality Fund, and the Sewer and Water Fund s . Parking Restrictions: Becaus e no shoulders are proposed on this project and because this is a State Aid route, a resoluti on restricting parking on CSAH 2 1 between Main Avenue and Duluth Avenue and on Arcadia from Colorado Street and midblock between CSAH 21 and Dakota Street is requi red for County State Aid funding eligibility. The City has previously approved similar resolutions for C SAH 82 and the C SAH 12 projects. Because of th e lack of right of way, the Ci ty did not pursue wider shoulders for on street parking. The City will be submitting the plans to MnDOT in February . This resolution is needed for the MnDOT plan approval process. Conclusion At this point the project design is complete and it is appropriate to seek City Council authority to advertise for bids. A copy of the plans is available in the Engineering Department for review. Once the bids are received, City Staff will present the bids to the City Council for award. If the bids received are higher than expected, the City Council can elect not to move forward with awarding a contract. ISSUES: The City has been in the process of assembling necessary easements and right of way for several months. At this point the majority of the right of way acquisition has now been completed. A process for studying p otential future City roadway connections in the southern half of downtown wil l be performed over the next six months. That study , which will include public input, will determine future roadway connections and provide a long term plan for the area. 2 FINANCIAL The table below shows the funding of this project.
