Home My WebLink About8D - T.H. 13 Corridor Plan AGENDA #: PREP ARED BY: SUBJECT: DATE: 8D JOHN WINGARD, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER T.R. 13 CORRIDOR STUDY OCTOBER 16, 1995 INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss the process for soliciting public input and receiving final approval for the proposed Long Term Development Plan for T .R. 13. BACKGROUND: A draft Long Term Access and Development Plan has been prepared for Highway 13. Implementation of the plan will help the Cities of Prior Lake and Savage, Scott County and MnDOT to provide for a safer and better functioning roadway that will enhance positive community growth. A Task Force was created consisting of representatives of the various stake holders. We were represented by Councilmember Greenfield and Public Works Director Anderson. The Prior Lake and Savage perspective was to assure that the proposed plan safely and economically meets the access and transportation needs of current and future commercial and residential development. The State Department of Transportation desired to limit accesses to 1/2 mile or more to assure that the road can continue to function effectively as a highway. They were also interested in creating a long range plan for incremental road improvement. County representatives wished to assure that T .R. 13 revisions did not negatively impact upon the County road system. After several meetings the T .R. 13 task force has completed the study of each access from T.R. 101 to CSAH 12. Attached is a drawing showing the intersections with T .R. 13. This proposal is to be implemented over a period of several years. Each intersection has a Priority A, B or C as shown. The timetable for implementation is from 1 to 30 years as shown on the legend, and timing is dependent for priorities B and C on local development, traffic growth, and available funding. Also note that intersections not highlighted will be limited to "right.turn in and right turn out only." 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E.. Prior Lake. Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 TH13CORR.DOC AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER The attached map shows that the CSAH 12 (170th Street) intersection with Highway 13 is a high priority with a construction time table of 1 to 3 years. The only other 3 intersections in Prior Lake that are ranked as a high priority are: 1. Signalize the intersection at CSAH 21 and Main Street (County Project). 2. Signalize the intersection' at CSAH 44 and Franklin Trail (County Project). 3. Signalize the intersection at CSAH 44 and Fish Point Road (County Project). The three above, mentioned intersections are not on T.H. 13, however they are shown on the Long Term Access/Development Plan since they impact the roadway. The T .H. 13 Corridor Study was briefly discussed at the Council/Planning Commission Workshop held on October 2, 1995. However, due to a shortage of time, the process for implementing the action plan was not discussed. DISCUSSION: The T.H. 13 Task Force agreed that the implementation of the improvements to T .H. 13 should proceed with the following steps: 1. Submit the plan to the Savage and Prior Lake city councils, at "work session" meetings. (Prior Lake has already held one workshop session.) 2. Task Force holds four public information meetings to inform the public of the plan, and solicit their input concerning it. The meetings are tentatively proposed as follows: A. Section of T .H. 13 from the junction with T .H. 101, south to County Road 42. The meeting will be held at the Savage City Hall. B. Section from Boudin Street to County Road 42. The meeting will be held at the Prior Lake Fire Hall. C. Section from Rustic Road to Candy Cove Trail. The meeting will be held at the Prior Lake Fire Hall. TIl13CORR.DOC D. Section from Franklin Trail North to County Road 12 (170th Street). The meeting will be held at the Prior Lake Fire Hall. 3. Depending on the input from the city councils, and the public, there may be a need for the task force to meet to resolve issues that were raised. 4. A report will be written documenting the background and the rationale, of the plan. 5. The Transportation Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan will be amended to include the T .H. 13 plan as an important implementation element. 6. Scott County may not want to endorse the plan until both cities have done it. Consequently, after the cities have approved the plan, approval will be sought from the County Board. ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives are as follows: 1. Approve this proposal for soliciting public input and receiving final plan approval. 2. Approve the plan with modification. 3. Take no action and direct the staff to provide additional information. RECOMMENDATION: Alternative #1. ACTION REQUIRED: Approve a motion recommending Alternative #1 and provide the staff with direction on the following issues: . Who from the Council should attend the public information meetings? . When should the public information meetings be held? . Should other organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce, the School District or Churches 1 be contacted to see if an informational meeting sh Id be jld with them?
