RESOLUTION REQUESTING M/DOT TO EXPEDITE THE PREPARATION, SUBMITTAL
AND APPROVAL OF A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR THE CITY TO CONSTRUCT
TURN LANES ON T.H, 50 AT 185TH STREET FOR M/DOT
WHEREAS, the City of Lakeville and Minnesota Department of Trans-
. portation have a mutual plan to construct turn lanes on T.H. 50 at 185th
Street in Lakeville; and
WHEREAS, the City and State have cooperated and shared improvements
to T.H. 50 in past years; and
WHEREAS, the City has agreed to have the two turn lanes constructed
• for M/DOT at 185th Street under terms of a cooperative agreement to be
prepared by M/DOT; and
WHEREAS, the City now has under contract and construction the
extension of 185th Street from T.H. 50 to I-35 as a M.S,A. street
project that is expected to be ready to open for traffic by November,
1988; and
WHEREAS, M/DOT has advised the City that 185th Street will not be
allowed to open for traffic until the T.H. 50 turn lanes are construct-
ed; and
WHEREAS, the City has completed the acquisition of the turn lane
right-of-way for M/DOT, prepared and submitted all plans and specifica-
tions, and has bid the turn lane construction; and
V
WHEREAS, the City has been prevented from letting the contract to
the low bidder, Alexander Construction, until after the submittal by
M/DOT of the cooperative agreement to the City and each party has
approved it; and
WHEREAS, it appears it may take up to six weeks of more time before
the City receives the cooperative agreement from M/DOT to approve; and
WHEREAS, this may prevent the completion of the turn lane construc-

though it will be completed and ready for use by November, 1988; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that this important city street
and state highway project is essential to provide additional access to
and from I-35 in Lakeville, relief to the crowded and congested I-
• 35/T.H. 50 interchange and improved safety for turns at T.H. 50 and
185th Street.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Lakeville City Council requests the Minnesota Department of
Transportation to expedite the preparation, submittal, and approval
of the cooperative agreement for the construction of the turn lanes
on T.H. 50 at 185th Street by the City of Lakeville for M/DOT so
that the turn lanes can be completed this construction season and
made available to the public along with the 185th Street extension
between T.H. 50 and I-35 by November, 1988.
