RE: CSAH 1 Improvements
Dear Pat:
As we recently discussed, the above referenced project has been changed slightly to reflect the
following:
- Phase 2, originally expected to be constructed between October, 1995 and November, 1995
will remain on this schedule but is now referred to as Phase 1.
-The original Phase 1 was expected to be started in August, 1995, and completed before the
new school year will not be started until next year when the school year is complete. This
part of the project is now considered Phase 2.
Phase 1 of the project will now reflect a full four-lane wide section between CR 44 and CR
32. The roadway will be striped for a northbound right-turn-lane at the Country Club
entrance. Channelization to meet the existing roadway north of CR 32 will occur between
this entrance and CR 32.
Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please feel free to call.
Sincerely~.•~

As requested in your June 26, 1995, correspondence, the Sherburne County Board of

to seek proposals for the completion of the above referenced study. Their motion also indicated
that the cost for the study and the traffic signal if it is warranted should be shared. equally by the
City and the County.
We have forwarded a summary of the proposals for the study to your Engineer for his review and
expect to have a consultant selected by the end of the week. Should you have any questions or
require any additional information, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
