Council Agenda Item #9.3 — Roadway Turnbacks <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />the County / MnDOT?" It was discussed that previous <br />Councils had given this impression / direction. <br />Tim Houle said he could come up with estimated <br />construction costs for any roadway sections and then apply <br />the State Aid and County cost participation formulas to <br />come up with estimated City costs. <br />But if — and this is a very, very big if — the City was able to <br />negotiate its way down to zero initial cost dollars, they <br />would still be faced with the above estimated maintenance, <br />and eventual replacement, costs. <br />Besides cost considerations, there are `control' <br />considerations with the City taking turn backs. Some <br />examples of this are that the City would be able to control <br />where driveways would intersect these turned back <br />segments, the widths of these roadways, whether they <br />would have sidewalks or trails, etc. The City would not <br />need to go to another authority to change something on <br />these turned back segments. <br />Council Action Requested: <br />1. Does the `control' that the City would have on this <br />corridor if they accepted it offset the added <br />maintenance costs? <br />
