Proposed Municipal State Aid Route Revisions
end
Background
Each year cities submit an Annual Certification of Mileage to MnDOT’s State Aid office. Based on this annual certification State Aid cities are allowed to designate 20% of their total street mileage as Municipal State Aid (MSA) routes. State aid cities are required to update their 25-yr construction needs annually. As part of this update cities may designate new MSA routes or revoke existing routes in their systems. MSA route designations determine the distribution of MSA funds to state aid cities. The calculation is typically weighted on the volume of a street’s average daily trips (ADT).
Based on our City’s Annual Certification of Mileage we have 4.42 miles to designate. We also propose to revoke one route (121st Avenue) which has a lower ADT and use this mileage on other local streets that have higher ADT. Staff has reviewed our current state aid street designations, traffic volumes on our MSA and local system, and is recommending the following changes (see attached map).
Add the following streets:
1. South/North Lake Blvd (1.80mi) from Lakes Pkwy to 125th Avenue (CSAH 14)
2. 122nd Avenue (0.29mi) from Lexington Avenue (CSAH 17) to Lever Street
3. 105th Avenue (0.56mi) from University Avenue (CSAH 51) to Jefferson Avenue
4. Clover Leaf Pkwy (1.03mi) from 99th Avenue to Polk Street
5. Naples Avenue (1.06mi) from Lake Drive (CSAH 23) to 95th Avenue (CSAH 52)
Rescind the following Streets:
1. 121st Avenue (0.68mi) from Woodland Pkwy to Sunset Avenue (CR 53)
Approximately 0.36 miles remains to be designated on future routes. The proposed changes would benefit the city with a higher distribution of MSA funds.
Staff Recommendation
Direct staff to review proposed revisions with MnDOT’s Municipal State Aid office and prepare a resolution for City Council action.
