PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Montana Department of Transportation is in the design phase for a project that will include upgrading the signals at eight signalized intersections along Main Street. These signals are at the intersections of Fourth Ave. N., Sixth Ave. N., Lake Elmo Dr., Hilltop Rd., Milton Rd., Logan Rd., Wicks Ln., and Pemberton Ln. The project includes upgrading signal heads, radar detection, controllers, cabinets, and upgrading communication cables to fiber optic. As a part of the project, MDT is trying to clean up inconsistencies in the right of way. As such, the existing limited access control line needs to be shifted to the existing right of way line in some areas. The City owns a parcel of land (Swords Park) in one location that needs to be shifted and therefore, MDT is asking that the City sign a right of way agreement, bargain and sale deed, and realty transfer certificate to accomplish the shift. The shift of the access control line will not impact the parcel.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Approve the agreement, deed and certificate, or;
- Disapprove the agreement, deed and certificate. If these documents are not approved, the access control line will not be along the edge of right of way which will be inconsistent other areas but will not impact the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
MDT will pay the City $500 in exchange for the agreement to shift the access control line.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the agreement, deed and certificate to move the access control line.
