the street. The fast moving traffic along with the lack of sidewalks makes Rasmussen Road difficult for <br /> pedestrians to traverse. <br /> The City is currently in the planning stages for reconstruction of Rasmussen Road from East Sibley Street <br /> south to Rae Avenue. This improvement project will entail extensive upgrades to the City's water, <br /> sewer, and drainage infrastructures and a bituminous reconstruction of the roadway. Other amenities <br /> will include walking/biking paths, multi-purpose lanes, street lighting, sidewalks,curb and gutter,and <br /> improved parking. <br /> The Traffic Study also looked at the intersection of Main Street and Rasmussen Road. This is an all-way <br /> stop control with one lane on each approach. Other control types available would be either a single- <br /> lane roundabout or a side-street stop-controlled intersection. A roundabout may not be a good option <br /> at this location due to the need for a larger footprint. A side-street stop control would remove the stop <br /> signs along Main Street. Vehicles along Main Street would no longer need to stop at this intersection <br /> meaning speeds will be increased through the intersection. With pedestrian crossings on all sides of this <br /> intersection, higher speeds would not be desired and would make crossing more difficult and likely less <br /> safe. Changing the traffic control at this intersection may not be appropriate. In addition,to <br /> accommodate pedestrians/bicycles as well as keep heavy vehicle traffic on main routes, one way to <br /> accomplish this would be install curb bump outs to reduce the crossing distance and making it more <br /> challenging for large vehicles to turn. The bump outs could be created with paint and pylons. <br /> Utility Overview <br /> • City Sanitary Sewer <br /> • City Water <br /> Street Maintenance Revenue: $2,895.04 <br /> Street Maintenance Cost: $113,200 <br /> Percent of Cost Covered by Adjacent Property Tax: 35% <br /> Walkability Score: Very Poor <br /> Redevelopment Potential: <br /> Reconstruction Considerations: <br /> • Rasn�i�ssen Road is being reconstructed as part ot the 2U1t) Koad Ii7iprt�veir7ent F�rojects <br /> lr+�rer�er���+l De�r��ir <br /> South Washington Street <br />
