RE: CSAH 18 Reconstruction, City of Albertville
Dear Mr. Jensen:

Highway Engineer

We are in receipt of a copy of a letter from you dated 8/30/99 that you sent to the City of
Albertville City Council members and Planning Commissioners and also a letter from you
dated 8/30/99 to our office regarding the schedule of the CSAH 18 reconstruction. We offer
the following comments to clarify some of the erroneous statements in your letters.
1) I do not recall having a conversation with you regarding placement of trails
along CSAH 18. We have, however, discussed trails with Pete Carlson of
SEH/RCM, as well as the feasibility of other design options for CSAH 18
within the City of Albertville, within the last three (3) weeks. If you had
contacted our office regarding this matter we would have informed you that we
will continue to work with the City of Albertville to arrive at a design section
that is acceptable to the City. Trails located within the CSAH 18 right-of-way
would be at City expense, as well as the additional right-of-way needed to
accommodate the trails within the right-of-way.
2) Enclosed please find a copy of the latest 5-year plan that was approved by the
Wright County Board of Commissioners in the spring of 1998. The 5-year plan
indicates the reconstruction of CR 118 (now CSAH 18) from Fenning Ave. in
Monticello to CSAH 37 in the year 1999. It also indicates the reconstruction of
CR 118 from CSAH 37 to CSAH 19 in the year 2000. This was discussed with
you at a meeting with myself and Wayne Fingalson in 1997. However, this
schedule has changed, and it is more than likely that the portion of CSAH
18 in front of the golf course (from CSAH 37 to CSAH 19) will be
reconstructed in the year 2001, not 2000, as indicated in the 5-year plan.
