RE:	City Manager’s Report 2007 KLINK Project

Project Description.  The 2007 KLINK project includes the mill and overlay of Iowa Street from Irving Hill Road to 23^rd Street (Clinton Parkway).

Project Status. City staff prepares the KLINK plans annually.  The project will be bid in June for construction in July.

Project Details. Because Iowa Street is being resurfaced and restriped, staff is recommending the establishment of dual left-turn lanes from southbound Iowa to eastbound Clinton Parkway.  Sufficient room exists within the existing road surface by eliminating the painted island and reducing lane widths to 11 ft. (see attached).

The entire intersection will not be milled and overlaid; ONLY the north leg will change.  Dual turn lanes on other legs of the intersection will be completed as maintenance or other projects in the area are scheduled/completed.

Project Funding.  Budgeted in CIP at $600,000.  State participates 50/50 up to a maximum of $200,000.
