Historv Prior the opening of the new Prior Lake High School located on 150th Street the cities of Savage and Prior Lake participated in a turn lane pro- ject with MnDOT at the 150th StreetITH 13 intersection. This project did not address issues related to the approach of 150th Street to TH 13 on both sides. The existing intersection splits the cities and needs to be reconfig- ured to provide safer access to TH 13. In 2006 both the Prior Lake and Savage City Councils included $35,000 in their respective Capital Improvement Programs for the required intersec- tion study. The inclusion of the funding was in response to on-going safety concerns related to the use of the intersection by students and residents. Current Circumstances Based on the configuration of the existing intersection and potential issues in Savage due to the proximity to the frontage road it was previously de- termined that Savage would take the lead in initiating the study. Neither the City of Prior Lake nor Savage have staff capable of producing the needed traffic modeling, design and analysis required by MnDOT for this study. For that reason a consultant is needed. Savage solicited proposals for the work in April from six consultants and awarded a contract on May 7,2007, pending a cost share resolution from the City of Prior Lake. City Staff participated in the review of proposals by Savage and concurred with their recommendation of selecting SEH as the Project Consultant. SEH has previously completed studies for CR 21 and is working on the CR 17 Study at this time in Prior Lake. City Staff has been very satisfied with their performance and quality of work. This study will also include layouts for the Oakland Beach/TH 13 and Green Oaks /TH 13 intersections as MnDOT will require them prior to ap- proving a layout for the 150th Street intersection as the function of TH 13 in this area is dependant on all of these intersections. The Oakland Beach/TH 13 intersection is a location of numerous complaints regarding safety to the City. www.cityofpriorlake.com Phone 952.447.9800 / Fax 952.447.4245 ISSUES: City Staff believes this is an important study that needs to be completed. Even though MnDOT does not have plans to upgrade this section of TH 13 they do have cooperative agreement funds that can be leveraged for inter- section improvements that benefit TH 13. This study will provide the needed design and study to have potential access to these funds along with estimated costs of participation for each City. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The increases in traffic volume along TH 13 are due to growth and there- fore the Street Oversize Fund is the appropriate source for the City's cost share. The City budgeted $35,000 in the 2007 CIP for this study which was based on a 50% cost share for each City. The proposed 50% cost share based on the SEH contract is $34,574.00. ALTERNATIVES: Funding for this study is available in the Street Oversize Fund. 1.
