Issue/Request:
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A MUNICIPAL AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT, MISSOURI AND THE MISSOURI HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT DESIGNATED AS VARIOUS ROUTES, VARIOUS COUNTIES, JOB J4P3214B, WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI.
Key Issues:
• The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will be installing a traffic signal communications network along Todd George Parkway between US 50 Highway and 5th Terrace.
• This project is scheduled to begin construction in Spring of 2018.
• The project work will be done in both City and MoDOT rights-of-ways, during which the portions of the City roads impacted by the MoDOT project will temporarily become a part of the state system for the duration of construction, and then will be returned to the City upon completion.
• An agreement between the City and MoDOT is necessary for the construction and maintenance of these improvements.
Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for a second reading of AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A MUNICIPAL AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT, MISSOURI AND THE MISSOURI HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT DESIGNATED AS VARIOUS ROUTES, VARIOUS COUNTIES, JOB J4P3214B, WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A MUNICIPAL AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT, MISSOURI AND THE MISSOURI HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT DESIGNATED AS VARIOUS ROUTES, VARIOUS COUNTIES, JOB J4P3214B, WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI.
Background:
There are several traffic signal controlled intersections along Todd George Parkway from US 50 Highway to 5th Terrace. Some of those traffic signals are MoDOT's, whereas some signals within the project area are owned and maintained by the City of Lee's Summit. These traffic signals are close in proximity and their operation should be coordinated. Traffic signal coordination generally requires a communication network for improved operations and efficiencies. The existing communication network connecting these traffic signal controlled intersections is limited and outdated. MoDOT intends to install a new traffic signal communication network (fiber optic lines) along the corridor between US 50 Highway and 5th Terrace, connecting to each traffic signal in the work area. Work will start in the Spring of 2018.
Impact/Analysis:
This is a typical municipal agreement between the City and MoDOT with regard to MoDOT improvements. This agreement will allow MoDOT to work on City right-of-way and take temporary ownership of City right-of-way for the construction of improvements. The City is required to retain its existing interest in City right-of-way upon completion of the project. There is no permanent right of way exchange on this project or exchange of funds.
