Work Session Discussion Item
Work Session Date: April 4, 2005
Prepared by: Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director/City Engine
Item: Redesignate Certain MSA Streets
Background:
The proposed redevelopment in the industrial area will require modifications to the current
Municipal State Aid System designations. Changes must be submitted to the State Aid Division for
preliminary approval. Upon receipt of this approval, resolutions for designation and revocation
must be submitted to State Aid Division by the City Council. Formal designation is by official
order of the Commissioner of Transportation.
When a route has had State Aid monies expended for its improvement and is revoked, a value of the
remaining life of the improvements will be determined. This value will be deducted on the next
authorized construction project.
Based on the age of the streets involved, staff anticipates this payback will be minimal.
Analysis/Conclusions:
The following changes are proposed to the State Aid System.
Revocation: 5th Street, 37th Avenue to 39th Avenue
38th Avenue, University Avenue Service Drive to 5th Street
Designation: Extension of 39th Avenue in a southwestly direction to 37th Avenue (Huset Parkway).
The net mileage gained from these changes can be used to designate another local street as a
municipal state aid street.
Requested Action:
Direct Staff to submit a request with the changes outlined above to the State Aid Division office for
preliminary approval.
Attachment: Plan
5-892.120 STATE AID MANUAL July 13~ 1998
under Chapter 943 Laws of 1957. (The rules
are now identified as Minnesota Rules,
Chapter 8820.)
SYSTEMS: DESIGNATIONS-ADDITIONS,
REVISIONS AND
REVOCATIONS
Any change to the Municipal State Aid Street
system which is contemplated must first be
presented to the District State Aid Engineer
for review and comment, and then, if
appropriate, submittal of the request to the
State Aid Division office for preliminary
approval.
Upon receipt of preliminary approval, a
resolution for either designation (City - Fig. A
5-892.101) or revocation (City- Fig. D 5-
892.101) detailing the proposed changes
shall be submitted by the governing body of
the city to the State Aid Division office and
formal designation will be by official order of
the Commissioner of Transportation.
If circumstances require the revocation of a
route that had State Aid monies expended for
its improvement, then an adjustment will be
imposed that will require an evaluation by the
District State Aid Engineer as to the value of
the remaining life of the improvements that
were made. The adjustment will be made on
the next authorized construction project by
withholding the value determined.
Former trunk highways (turned back after
July 1, 1965) and County Highways (turned
back on or after May 11, 1994) that have
been designated as Municipal State Aid
routes may not be revoked and to re-
designate that mileage elsewhere if that
mileage is considered to be above the City's
20% allowable authorized mileage. When
the turnback mileage is absorbed into the
city's normally authorized mileage total, the
turnback mileage may be treated as normally
nated State Aid mileage.
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
The Minnesota Legislature has determined
the maximum mileage available for
designation as Municipal State Aid Streets
shall be 20% of the total miles of city streets
and county roads within the jurisdiction of the
city. The only exception is to accommodate
trunk highways and county highways that
revert back to local jurisdiction and become
part of the Municipal State Aid Street system.
5-892.120 ALLOTMENTS
STATE AID: COUNTIES AND uRBAN
MUNICIPALITIES
Allocation of State Aid monies to the counties
and urban municipalities is made on the basis
of a legislative formula (see M.S. 162.07 and
162.13).
Fifty percent of the monies are allocated
according to a needs study as described
under 5-892.800.
The remaining fifty percent, allocated to the
counties, is divided according to the
legislative formula. Ten percent equally, ten
percent based on vehicle registration, and
thirty percent based on County State Aid lane
miles. The remaining fifty percent, allocated
to the urban municipalities, is divided based
on population.
FEDERAL-AID
Federal-aid funds are distributed by the Area
Transportation Partnership (ATP) formed in
each of the Mn/DOT construction districts.
Each district's ATP establishes its own
procedures for soliciting, prioritizing, and
selecting projects to receive Federal-aid
funds. For areas within a Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO), projects must
be approved by the MPO.
Projects approved by the MPO's and ATP's
are gathered to create a Statewide
Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) and
submitted for approval by the Federal
Highway Administration. Only projects on the
approved STIP can receive Federal-aid
funds.

Industrial Park/Parkway Project
The purpose of this presentation to the Columbia Heights City Council is to
provide an interim review of the entire parkway project.
Based on the approved development agreement with Schafer Richardson,
the City Council authorized S.E.H., Inc. to prepare plans and specs for final
design of the new parkway. Staff is looking for feedback from Council
members in order to complete the final plan by the end of April.
Issues for discussion will include: lighting, trails, sidewalks, signage,
parkway layout, holding pond, schedules and the roundabout.

worksession, please call me at (763) 706-3675.
