Pequot Lakes -Hwy 371 North <br /> October 7, 2005 <br /> Page 3 of 15 <br /> make this decision during the final design phase as construction phasing is laid out. <br /> 10. MnDOT will put the "guts" of pre-emption equipment in stoplights as a part of this project. <br /> However, it is the City's responsibility to obtain and install the proper vehicle equipment. <br /> 11. The City needs to get with the County on several decisions before finalizing with MnDOT, <br /> as there will be several interactions between City streets-service roads and County Roads. <br /> 12. It varies depending on the direction coming into town,but it appears that roughly half of the <br /> trips are thru trips (less than 10 minutes)while roughly half of the trips are either extended <br /> through trips (10 minutes to I hour) or local traffic (greater than I hour). <br /> Therefore, this highway needs to be designed to allow for local trips to get up and down the <br /> highway, across the highway, and around town without causing undue congestion or safety <br /> problems for the thru town trips. <br /> 12A. Additional project information is available at: www.projects.dot.state.mn.us/seh/371. <br /> CR 107 South/CSAH 29 - CR 107 North/CR 168 (Mayo Lake Road) 12 milesl <br /> 13. MnDOT believes they can fit the grassed-median, divided four-lane highway and a slightly <br /> relocated Paul Bunyan Trail in the area between West Twin Lake and East Twin Lake <br /> without getting too "tight", "ruining"the aesthetics, or needing to relocate the Paul Bunyan <br /> Trail "off'the TH 371 corridor(along CR 107 for instance). <br /> 14. There is an existing water access to West Twin Lake on the west side of TH 371 north of <br /> CSAH 29. The DNR is talking to the Lake Association about replacing this access. <br /> MnDOT is willing to work with the DNR if a decision is made to provide an access to West <br /> Twin Lake using the old TH 371 roadbed area. <br /> 15. A full access intersection is located south of Olson Road and north of Pow Wow Point <br /> Road. This location puts it about halfway between the full access intersections at CR 107 <br /> South/CSAH 29 and CR 107 North/CR 168 (Mayo Lake Road). <br /> Both Olson Road and Pow Wow Point Road will have access to the new TH 371 at this <br /> new full access intersection via the old TH 371,which will be the service road. <br /> West Twin Lake Drive will remain a right in-right out. <br /> Can MnDOT put in a stub on the west side of the full access intersection to facilitate a <br /> future alternate route/service road to get to this access? <br /> CAMy Documents\City Clerk\HIGHWAY 371\Meetings\102505 List of Issues for City MnDOT mtg-memo.doc <br />
