RE:
TRUNK HIGHWAY 10NVACO STREET
TRAFFIC SIGNAL AGREEMENT
Dear Council Members:
Attached is a copy of the Traffic Signal Agreement prepared by the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (Mn/DOT) for the signal system installation at the intersection of Trunk Highway
10 (TH 10) and Waco Street. As we have previously discussed, this signal will be 50 percent
funded by the City and 50 percent funded by Mn/DOT. The agreement is similar to all of the
previous signal agreements between Mn/DOT and the City. It requires the City to construct the
signal system, and after construction the City is responsible for energy costs, relamping, and
painting the signal system when necessary. Mn/DOT will be responsible for signal timing and
other operational maintenance of the signal system.
Attached is a resolution also prepared by Mn/DOT which is part of the agreement. It authorizes
the Mayor and City Administrator to execute the signal agreement on behalf of the City. We
would recommend City Council adoption of this resolution.
If you have any questions regarding this issue, I will be in attendance at your June 24, 2002,
City Council meeting.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
