For the "existing" service road on the west side south of Pillsbury,please note that the City <br /> never did accept this roadway construction that was put in by a developer/property owner. <br /> The City cannot verify the structural integrity of this stretch of roadway(no cores have been <br /> taken).Also,the width is less than that which MnDOT will construct south and north of here <br /> (32-feet). <br /> This service road will assist in local circulation and minimize local traffic having to use the <br /> Trunk Highway system. <br /> Thus,it appears,and the City requests,that upgrading this stretch should be included as part <br /> of these Trunk Highway improvements' costs. <br /> 17. Even though there are very few accesses on the east side due to the Paul Bunyan Trail, <br /> MnDOT must admit that they are counting on Old 371 in this stretch to be an eastern service <br /> road for this TH 371 corridor. <br /> The structural integrity and width of most of this stretch of Old 371 is less than that which <br /> MnDOT will construct for their service roads as part of a Trunk Highway project. <br /> This service road will assist in local circulation and minimize local traffic having to use the <br /> Trunk Highway system. <br /> Thus,it appears,and the City requests,that upgrading this stretch should be included as part <br /> of these Trunk Highway improvements' costs. <br /> 18. The City has in the past looked at extending City sanitary sewer on the west side south from <br /> West Lake Street. The timing and financing of such an undertaking will most likely be from <br /> a developer-initiated project as opposed to a City-initiated project. <br /> Thus,unless a developer steps forward or the City puts together an overall finance plan,they <br /> most likely will not place utilities as part of this project. <br /> 19.
