CONSENT AGENDA - Stefan Higgins, Assistant City Engineer
Title
APPROVE MUNICIPAL STATE AID ROUTE ADDITION
Background
With the turnback of 105th Avenue (from TH 65 to Radisson Road) from Anoka County, it is proposed to add this segment of 105th Avenue to our Municipal State Aid (MSA) system. The proposed change (0.99 miles) does not affect available MSA miles because County Road turnbacks are not included within the statutory 20% mileage limitation. Mileage designated as MSA routes is part of the calculations used to determine the amount of state aid dollars available to the City of Blaine each year for new construction and maintenance of our state aid routes.
The proposed change to the City's MSA system was submitted to MnDOT's District State Aid Engineer for review and comment. Preliminary approval was received on April 8, 2015, and the City Council is now asked to approve a resolution formally requesting the route addition. Formal designation will be by official order of the Commissioner of Transportation.
Recommendation
By motion, adopt the Resolution.
Body
