Authorize Feasibility Report for Project #191, Chippendale Avenue Street
Improvements
MnDOT has notified me that the Highway 3 realignment and new railroad bridge
construction between County Road 42 and 160th Street is being planned for 1989.
As part of this construction, MnDOT is proposing to detour traffic from this
segment of Highway 3. The proposed detour route would be 160th Street to
Chippendale Avenue, Chippendale from 160th Street to County Road 42, and along
County Road 42 back to Highway 3. Because Chippendale is proposed as a detour
route, MnDOT indicated to us that they would improve the gravel portion of
Chippendale Avenue. While we haven't received any details as to what MnDOT's
involvement would be for these improvements, we need to plan for whatever
utilities need to be installed prior to any improvements to the roadway. That is
why I am requesting Council to authorize this feasibility report to look into
what utilities need to be constructed to allow the improvement of Chippendale
Avenue. The feasibility report will also define MnDOT's intentions of the
improvements they are planning for Chippendale Avenue.
Recommended action for Council to consider is to authorize our Consulting
Engineers to prepare a feasibility report for Chippendale Avenue Street and
Utility Improvements, City Project #191.
