SUMMARY
The attached Memo of Understanding (MOU) relates to the ongoing process of designing and implementing
upgrades to the TH 52 corridor. This item in particular concerns MnDOT's willingness to extend the length of a
bridge span that is currently being designed (construction 2002 -2004) for a rail underpass in the location of the
old at -grade rail- crossing south of the refinery. This crossing will replace the one currently located at 117
Street. In return, the City will be responsible for construction local streets that will also function as a frontage
road system. There is no timetable for this part. it will most likely happen with development. The incentive to
the City is that there will be local connectivity on either side of TH 52.
The memo is an unbinding agreement. It also discusses Conley Ave in the context that the intersection with
CSAH 42 will be recommended to be shifted east, so that appropriate intersection separation standards are
maintained. This assumes a frontage road along the north side of CSAH 42, with a full movement intersection
occurring east of Rich Valley Golf Course.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to authorize City Staff to execute the Memorandum of Understanding with the Minnesota Department
of Transportation subject to City Attorney review.
