City Council Minutes February 2, 2016 Page 4 of 12 ----------------------------- 2. The two main reasons (there are others) a re-route is being considered is for safety and to continue relatively uninterrupted traffic flow. Mathiowetz will ensure both of these conditions are met. This will include, but not be limited to, a safe design and construction, proper signing and pavement markings, etc. as well as providing immediate adjustments to promote safety; and minimal construction equipment crossings (with proper advance signage and flagging) of the re-routed CSAH 11. "Minimal crossings" will be defined as one set crossing location, crossings not occurring from 7 am to 9 am and 2 pm to 4 pm (afternoon mainly due to school dismissal times), crossings not occurring after noon on Fridays or the day before a Holiday, and crossings not occurring when it adversely backs up traffic (i.e. in the case of special events outside these other limits), unless prior approval is obtained from MnDOT in coordination with the County and the City. 3. The temporary re-route location will be as indicated on the attached one-page figure. Mathiowetz will submit "final design" documents for MnDOT, County, and City review and approval. Mathiowetz will pay for ALL aspects of survey, design, temporary easements, construction, operation, and maintenance of this temporary re-route unless otherwise indicated. 4. The present Highway 371 — including from the existing stop light at CSAH 11 south to wherever the re-route intersects Highway 371 —will remain the responsibility of MnDOT. The existing CSAH 11 west of the interchange construction and the existing CSAH 11 east of the point where the eastern end of this proposed re-route connects to the existing CSAH 11 will remain the responsibility of the County. 5. The duration of this temporary re-route will be from approximately mid- May 2016 until November 30, 2016. Should the re-route need to continue longer than this (either in 2016 or into 2017 after a 2016-2017 winter shut-down), Mathiowetz shall come back to the City and the County and request an appropriate extension and re-negotiation of these conditions. 6. CSAH 11 is a part of the Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway system. Mathiowetz shall provide minimum 4-feet wide shoulders to accommodate possible users of the Byway. Mathiowetz shall coordinate with MnDOT (and in turn, the DNR and the Byway Association) on coordinating and providing signing along the Paul Bunyan Trail and CSAH 11 giving direction as to how multi-modal
