99^th Avenue and Baltimore Street Intersection Improvements

 Project Update

Background

On February 23, Council authorized a contract for design services to improve the intersection of 99^th Avenue and Baltimore Street.  Since that time staff has worked with our consultant WSB to review the intersection and create a roundabout that will best handle the current traffic conditions and those that will be present in the future upgrades to TH 65/99^th Avenue intersection.  The attached concept layout shows the configuration of what the roundabout will look like and how it will fit into the corridor.  The design team continues to coordinate the project with several agencies including Federal Highway Administration, Minnesota Department of Transportation, Metropolitan Airport Commission along with any agency that will need to approve the plan for the federal project process.  

The current concept layout is nearing the 30% design plan and is being evaluated for impacts to wetlands, right-of-way, geotechnical, and traffic staging.

The project schedule is as follows,

30% Plans                                                                                     June/July 2022

60% Plans                                                                                     Sept./Oct. 2022

95% Plans                                                                                    Dec. ‘22/Jan. 2023

Final Approvals                                                               March/April 2023

Construction                                                                May/June 2023

Please note that the completion of each design plan stages, all agencies are given an opportunity to review and comment.
