CSAH 11 CORRIOR STUDY REPORT maintaining that segment for the long term. The long-term concepts developed in this study were � reflective of the assumed City desire for a 2-lane divided roadway on CSAH 11 based upon review of former planning documents. The City was not prepared at this time to develop a vision that they could support. The City of Pequot Lakes prepared a memorandum in February 2012 outlining elements that the City feels is important as continued planning is done for improvements on the CSAH 11 corridor. The City did not officially approve the memorandum, rather provided it for information. This memorandum is included in Appendix F. This memorandum will serve as a starting point when the project is revisited in the future, including discussions regarding a future concept and costs. PEQUOT LAKES SUPPORTING ROADWAY CONCEPT • This concept considers the existing roadway network and proposed bypass to create a supporting roadway network that should be preserved/constructed as the area around the interchange develops • Generally, the City is not planning on development around the interchange at this time although the northwest quadrant is zoned commercial. • The supporting roadways on either side of the interchange at CSAH 11 will be the primary access points to the area. No new driveways with direct access to CSAH 11 should be permitted in this area. • This concept was developed first to identify primary access points so we could then look closer at the corridor for short and long term planning • See Appendix A for a graphic of this concept � This concept demonstrates one of the many supporting roadway concepts that could be developed. Although the network could change, the identified primary access points are set with this concept and that future study should direct the traffic to these access points. PEQUOT LAKES LONG RANGE CONCEPT 1- TWO LANE DIVIDED WITH PARKING AND LANDSCAPING • This concept demonstrates what the CSAH l 1 corridor could become if it were reconstructed as a City street with bump-outs and a median • City studied Government Drive options recently • The corridor roadway width remains at 47' • Opportunity to fix the skew at CR 112 • This concept provides an improved pedestrian friendly downtown with bump outs and greater connectivity • Truck turning movements would be constrained with this section • Parking is provided on both sides of the roadway, but no turning lanes on CSAH 11 • Sidewalks are extended to existing TH 371 to better connect downtown (west of existing TH 371) � Future pedestrian trail options are shown through town. • Paul Bunyan Trail treatment across CSAH I 1 • Turn lanes are provided at the future collector road / City hall • 7' landscaped medians / Concept has 12' lanes — desirable lane width is 14' • Concept matches into Mn/DOT's improvement at the proposed bypass • Estimated cost $840,000 (see Appendix E for detail) • See Appendix A for a graphic of this concept � Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc.
