TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR LAYOUT APPROVAL AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT SUBMITTAL FOR THE TH 13 FRONTAGE ROAD PROJECT FOR COMMERCE AVENUE AND BOUDIN STREET. MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: DISCUSSION: HISTORY The City of Prior Lake, MnDOT, the City of Savage, and Scott County have previously conducted a corridor study for Trunk Highway (TH) 13 from TH 101 in Savage to the southern limits of the City of Prior Lake. As a part of that process the number, type, and locations of intersections along TH 13 was reviewed and a long term access plan was developed. The corridor study included a recommendation that the intersection of Commerce Avenue and TH 13 should be reconstructed further south to provide a full access intersection. Additionally, this area became a focus in recent discussions about the Marketplace at 42 development in Savage, when the residents of Timothy Avenue raised concerns about a traffic signal on CSAH 42 and access to their neighborhood. As a result of those discussions Council directed that improvements to the TH 13, Commerce Avenue and Boudins Street area be programmed in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for completion as soon as feasible. After considerable discussion and neighborhood meetings the City Council adopted the 2000 - 2004 CIP which included this project in the year 2000. 162003~reek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 1 Ph.
