f • Vissing Park Drive at 10 Street — Cost Estimate $269,000.00: Project encompasses
adding full traffic signals coordinated with the traffic signal at Eastbrook Boulevard, right
turn lanes and left signalized turn lanes. The right turn lane will require a right of way
i
acquisition from Wellstone. Wellstone is looking into donating the right of way, which
would diminish the cost of the project. Mr. Hutt questioned the area in front of the right
p
k turn from 10th Street to Vissing Park Drive, asking if this was a raised divider. Mr.
Crouch stated that the area was a gore area, but would look into the cost estimate for
having that changed.
• Herb Lewis Road at 10 Street — Cost Estimate $133,000.00: Project encompasses t
1 adding left and right turn lanes. After a discussion, the Commission determined that this 1
t project could be postponed until more development in the area would warrant the
necessity. 1
t Mr. Snelling made a motion to place these projects out for bid in the following manner:
(1) Each project individually, excluding Herb Lewis Road
(2) Each project combined, excluding Herb Lewis Road
(3) Sportsman Drive and Vissing Park Drive combined
Mr. Lake seconded the motion, passing unanimously on a vote of 3 -0.
Mr. Snelling mentioned the intersection at 10th Street and Sharon Drive, adding turn lane and
signal. Mr. Crouch will look into options.

line up with Thompson Lane. Committee gave Mr. Crouch approval to proceed.
