SUE MCDERMOTT, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 98-XX
GRANTING A REQUEST FOR VARIANCE FROM MINNESOTA
MUNICIPAL STATE AID CRITERIA FOR DULUTH AVENUE
FEBRUARY 17, 1998
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this agenda item is to request MnDOT to approve
a variance to Municipal State Aid Standards for the proposed
reconstruction of Duluth Avenue from Trunk Highway 13 to
Pleasant Street.
BACKGROUND:
The reconstruction of Duluth Avenue is a proposed 1998 Capital
Improvement Project for which a feasibility report was prepared.
Duluth Avenue from TH 13 to Pleasant Street is on the City's
Municipal State Aid system and is eligible for State Aid funds to be
used for construction of the project. The proposed project is
currently under design by City staff. In order to meet State Aid
Standards, the curve at Duluth Avenue and TH 13 is required to
be designed with superelevation in order to meet the 30 mph (50
km/hr) design speed. Due to the proximity of the curve to the TH
13 intersection, the required superelevation transition cannot be
achieved. The City must apply for a variance by March 2, 1998 to
meet the State Aid deadline.
DISCUSSION:
In order to utilize Municipal State Aid Funds on Duluth Avenue, a
variance from State Aid standards is required. Adopting the
resolution at this time, will allow the State Aid committee to review
the request. Having the variance approved will provide the City
with the most design option and funding options to complete the
Duluth Avenue reconstruction if the project does proceed.
ALTERNATIVES:
There are three alternatives for the City Council to consider:
1. Approve Resolution 98-XX requesting a variance from
Minnesota State Aid road standards for construction of Duluth
Avenue.
2. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide staff with
direction.
3. Table this item until some date in the future.
