To <br /> cooperatively rebuild Buschman Road,Nelson Road, Akerson Road, and Wild Acres Road in <br /> their respective communities with the goal that Crow Wing County would accept the roads. It is <br /> understood that the traffic using these roads includes local traffic and a substantial amount thru <br /> traffic and heavy trucking from adjacent gravel pits. In 2019 each community adopted a <br /> resolution to acknowledge the potential of working together. In each of the resolutions the local <br /> government identified the total distance of roadway being discussed. <br /> Total approximate centerline length of all roads= 68,200 feet <br /> Frontage in Breezy Point= 19,700 feet(28.9%) <br /> Frontage in Ideal Township= 13,640 feet(20.0%) <br /> Frontage in Pequot Lakes= 31,000 feet(45.4%) <br /> Frontage in Jenkins Township=3,860 feet(5.7%) <br /> The group along with Crow Wing County created a Request For Proposals(RFP)to lay the <br /> ground work to move forward on a cooperative project. <br /> The County Engineer has indicated that they would only consider taking on the roads only if they <br /> are built to County State Aid Road Standards. That means a ten-ton road with 12' driving lanes <br /> and six' paved shoulders all within a 100' right of way. Most of the existing road do not have a <br /> right of way but operates on a prescriptive easement and 20-22' of total pavement with little to <br /> no shoulders. <br /> The RFP Process <br />
