Body

________________________________________________________________________________

Summary:

On January 22, 2019, the City Council approved an agreement with TranSystems Corporation for design of the Ridgeview, 143rd to 151st, Improvements Project.  The agreement included a capacity and access evaluation to determine the exact needs for the corridor.  Along with this evaluation, surveying and preliminary engineering are being completed to determine the final scope and fee for the proposed improvements.  The project will include geometric improvements at various intersections, pavement construction, bike lanes, curb and gutter, sidewalk and sidepath, storm sewer and waterline.

 

As part of the design agreement, TranSystems was tasked with evaluating the needs of the corridor and recommending improvements.  The recommended configuration for the roadway is a three-lane section with roundabouts. 

 

The presentation will outline aspects of the three-lane section with roundabouts and the benefits of this configuration.
