DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: DISCUSSION: HISTORY Historic concerns about access and egress to Trunk Highway 13 resulted in the City Council adopting a Long Term Development and access Plan with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, This plan sets forth the status of improvements to various intersections along Trunk Highway 13, Development of the Marketplace at County Highway 42 retail center in Savage has created additional impetus for the City of Prior Lake to look at access and safety issues in the Trunk Highway 13 and County Highway 42 intersection area, A feasibility report was authorized by the Council to look at frontage road systems along both Trunk Highway 13 and County Highway 42, Specifically, a frontage road connecting Commerce Avenue and Boudin Street along Trunk Highway 13 with a full access signalized intersection was investigated as well as frontage roads connecting Commerce Avenue to Rutgers Street and Rutgers Street to Harbor Place, The City Council received the results of the Feasibility Report in a work session setting and directed the staff to hold neighborhood meetings to solicit feedback on the alternatives. 162(9~I@feek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES Based on the feedback received at the neighborhood meetings, staff programmed Trunk Highway 13 intersection improvements into the draft 2000 - 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which was discussed with the Council at their May 3, 1999 worksession, Based on the discussion and direction at that worksession, the Trunk Highway 13 - Commerce Avenue - Boudin Street Project was programmed for construction in the year 2000, ISSUES To proceed with this project numerous actions must occur, The City Council needs to choose the construction alternative it prefers, That alternative needs to be endorsed by MnDOT and Savage. Finally, both MnDOT and Savage need to program funding for the project for the same time period contemplated in our CIP Through the neighborhood meetings the community has had the opportunity to become informed about the construction alternatives proposed for the subject project. It would now be appropriate for the City Council to schedule a Public Hearing to formally take input from the community on the proposals, Upon completion of the Public Hearing, the Council should formally adopt a Preferred Alternative that can then be forwarded to the City of Savage and MnDOT for consideration, To keep progressing on this project Staff recommends the Public Hearing should be held at the next regular Council meeting on June 7, 1999, It is extremely important for the City of Prior Lake to act expeditiously with respect to adoption of a Preferred Alternative and then get Savage's concurrence in order to be ahead of any potential development in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Trunk Highway 13 and County Highway 42, In this manner, the two Cities will be in agreement as to where a full access intersection will be located, and it will not be Developer driven, Project execution will be subject to the participation of both Savage and MnDOT, Upon adoption of a Preferred Alternative serious discussion can begin with both parties to expedite this project.
