Re: Designate Additional State Aid Roadways Within City Limits
:. .. .
State aid funds for Cottage Grove are based on population and construction needs of
existing designated MSA mileage (approximately $15,000 per mile annually).
Therefore, iYs important that the city keep the designated mileage as close as possible
to the allowable limit set by Mn/DOT. To date, we have 0.89 of allowable mileage that
we can designate (add) to our state aid system.
To designate a street as MSA, the following criteria must be met:
1) Projected to carry a relatively neavier traffic volume, or classified as coilector or
arterial street.
2) Connect points of major traffic within the city.
3) Provide integrated street system consistent with projected traffic demands.
4) Connect roadways that are MSAS streets, county roads or trunk highways.
Proposed
On December 17, 1997, city council approved 0.09 ailowable miles designating 77`
Street from CSAH No. 39 to our westerly city limits to help the City of St. Paul Park
receive state aid status.
Two additional areas could be considered as additions to the state aid system; they are
as follows:
Option 1
Hadley Avenue from 65` Street to northern city limits (totai length of 0.49 miles).
This is an existing roadway connecting Cottage Grove to Woodbury.
Option 2
Ideal Avenue extension, from 100`" Street to 95` Street (total length of 0.47 miles).
This would be a future roadway within the Cottage Grove industrial park serving future
development of the park.
Discussion
Option 1- Hadiey Avenue (existing roadway)
Public works has been in contact with Woodbury to see if they would designate
Woodlane Drive from Military Road to their southern city iimits. This wou�d allow us fo
designate Hadley Avenue from 65`" Street to our northern city limits.
Woodbury has informed us they would add Woodlane Drive to their state aid system.
Designating Hadley Avenue would position the city financially (allowing the use of state
aid funds) to correct any alignment problems along the roadway and, with its high need
status, add additional construction dollars to the state aid fund for future reconstruction
and/or repair needs of the state aid system.
Option 2- Ideal Avenue extension (future roadway)
The council could approve a future roadway within the industrial park as state aid
providing additional access for future development.
Like Hadiey Avenue, this future roadway could generate high needs due to the fact it
would need to be completely constructed from grading to final wearing surface. This
roadway wouldn't be constructed until development makes it necessary. The additional
constructed dollars generated with this option help the whole state aid system.
Conclusion
The city council could approve either option as state aid; the criteria for MSA would be
met with eitner option.
At present, we have 0.89 miles that can be added to our state aid system based on our
Annual Certification of Mileage allowed by Mn/DOT. We would have to wait until next
year to add both options to state aid if that is what council wants. (We could be short
by 0.07 miles.)
At this time, I feel we shauld also create a state aid base map that would show present
and proposed future state aid roadways within Cottage Grove. All future roadways
couid then be added to the system as the mileage is allowed by Mn/DOT per the
Annual Certification of Mileage Report for local street improvements. This would allow
us to monitor our designated mileage close to the allowable limit set by Mn/DOT and
provide us with the maximum use of our state aid funding.
Please place this item on the April 1 councii agenda for consideration. i have also
drafted the attached resolutions establishing a municipal state aid roadway for Hadley
Avenue and/or ldeal Avenue extension for council action.
