BACKGROUND1JUBTIFID TIO .
The City of Otsego recently removed the trail only portion of the 70th Street project in ars effort to keep
the project on a timeline for 2014 construction. Leaving the trail only portion would have required
completion tion of additional noise studies and set the project back a minimum of a month. The City of
Otsego had decided to use other funds to complete the project separately and at a later time. MNDOT
recently introduced the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) which the 70th Street trail appears
could qualify for funding. A Notice of Intent letter is required to be completed and seat to MN DOT to
start the project selection process. This Notice of latent letter is required to be complete and to
MNDOT by November er 15" of 2013. MNDOT is also requiring a Resolution from the City stating its
intention to fund the local % share. We estimate the local sham of construction cost to be less than
$35,000. That number does not include any ROW acquisition costs or engineering cost which will b
local share also.
