City of New Brighton Department of community assets and development M E M O R A N D U M DATE: December 6, 2017 (Work Session December 12, 2017) TO: Mayor and City Council Dean Lotter, City Manager FROM: Craig Schlichting, Director of Community Assets and Development SUBJECT: Consider Traffic Mitigation Strategies for I‐35W MnPASS project Recommendation: Formal Council action is not required for implementation, but staff requests that Council to provide input on mitigation strategies Legislative History: None Explanation: MnDOT has completed a technical analysis of the expected traffic operations on the local roadway system during the I‐35W North MnPASS construction project from 2019 to 2022. The analysis identified expected traffic shifts during the construction and evaluated impacts the diverted traffic may have on the local system. Based on the impacts, potential mitigations were evaluated to improve safety and mobility during the construction period due to the diverted traffic. The proposed mitigations located within New Brighton are included for Council review. For every mitigation, staff has indicated whether we support installation of the mitigation, and if supported, the year we would prefer the mitigation to be implemented (2018 or 2019). MnDOT’s proposed mitigation installation timing is based on the type of mitigation. These mitigations are temporary and will be removed at the completion of the construction project. Costs and Funding: MnDOT will pay for the mitigations and there will be no cost to New Brighton for any of the improvements. __________________________ Craig G. Schlichting, P.E.
