0 <br />WORKSESSION ITEM <br />CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON <br />PUBLIC WORKS/ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: February 5, 2010 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council, City Manager <br />FROM: Grant Wyffels, Director of Public Works (:104k4l <br />SUBJECT: City Project 09-8, Silver Lake Road / County Road H Traffic Signals update. <br />MATERIALS FOR FEBRUARY 9, 2009 MEETING <br />Next Tuesday evening at the work session, staff plans to discuss the status of efforts to acquire <br />the necessary easements for a traffic signal upgrade at Silver Lake Road and County Road H. <br />Staff has worked for 12 months, but so far the property owner has been uncooperative. We've <br />asked the city attorney to be present to discuss options with regard to taking the necessary <br />easements by condemnation if further efforts to acquire the property with an arms length <br />transaction are unsuccessful. <br />• Attached is the previous Council Report from February 10, 2009 for this project. Ramsey <br />County previously anticipated installing the traffic signal in 2009, but since the easements were <br />not acquired by the City, the County could not move forward with the project. The funding for <br />the signal is still in-place and the signal could be built this summer if the City is able to acquire <br />the necessary easement. <br />0 <br />
