APPROVE PROJECT CONCEPT REPORT FOR PROJECT
NO. 6585, 20TH AVENUE SOUTH ROAD EXTENSION,
FEDERAL PROJECT NO. SU-6-986(106)110
The staff report from the engineering department relating to Project Concept Report for Project No. 6585, 20th Avenue South Road Extension, Federal Project No. SU-6-986(106)110, with recommendation to approve the Project Concept Report contingent upon approval by the North Dakota Department of Transportation, concur that the project should continue to be advanced, concur with the project concept as proposed, concur in 100% City funding for the local share, and select Alternate B, to construct 20th Avenue South street extension from Columbia Road to South 25th Street, construct three-quarter intersection at Columbia Road/20th Avenue South, and reconstruct the 20th Avenue South/South 25th Street intersection, and approval with modification that the sidewalk on the north side of 20th Avenue South will not be constructed as a part of the project.
Several individuals addressed this matter.
Diane Kraemer, 2466 Estabrook Drive, opposed to extending 20th Avenue South from Columbia Road to South2 5th Street because of increase in vehicular traffic through the mobile home park.
Mike Gillen, 1910 20th Avenue South, stated they are in the process of upgrading Kraft Field and having more games this year and with the three-quarter intersection proposed and has problem seeing how one block extension is going to solve any issues - increase in traffic.
Ken Johnson, 1709 20th Avenue South, concurs with residents of neighborhood - bring more traffic through neighborhood, no benefit to the city, increase more problems.
There was some discussion relative to movement of traffic, left and right turns onto Columbia Road and 17th Avenue South, three-quarter intersections traffic movements, impact of traffic to Red River High School being funneled through both of these two intersections. That 20th Street is far enough from the trees and problem if sidewalk was located there (1 ft. from property line), staff in agreement with committee recommendation to eliminate sidewalk planned for the north side of the street and allows entire berm to remain open and not impacting trees, and pedestrians not in range of baseballs. There was also some discussion relating to installing a fence along the north side and the matter was to be looked at, and that a fence would be permitted.
After further comments by Council Member Kreun that they have gone through concerns that have been brought up, this has always been an intention and the reason this hasn't been done before was because of special assessment system, and that the mobile home park had more than 50% of the property to protest this out. This is money well spent to do this to alleviate traffic in those other major intersections and this will give us more time or might be permanent solution to finish our complete transportation plan, and would be opposed to adding another fence in there that will clutter and confuse and be less aesthetically pleasing and would work with Park District or baseball group to extend that fence. There might be a problem with one tree and would mitigate that as well, and with traffic models will reduce the traffic in the residential areas by quite a bit, the 3/4 intersections work very well as far as eliminating unnecessary traffic, directs traffic to the areas that we want. He moved a motion to accept the proposal for that street; Council Member Bjerke seconded the motion
Council Member Christensen asked if that includes Mr. Grasser's representation that the trees will stay and won't put in the sidewalk - Council Member Kreun stated that was the recommendation from the committee. Mr. Grasser stated there is a volunteer deciduous tree by Columbia Road that they won't have to take it out; but Council Member Kreun stated there is one other that is potentially close and if that one becomes a problem would move it.
Upon call for the question and upon voice vote, the motion carried 6 votes affirmative.
