Re:
Authorization of Staff to sign Zero Dollar Permit to Construct – Highway 61 Bridge
Project
The Council is requested to authorize staff to sign the attached Zero Dollar Permit to Construct
for activities that will take place during the MnDOT Highway 61 Bridge Replacement Project.
nd
When Bridge construction activities are taking place in the area immediately north of 2 Street,
access to the Hudson Sprayer loading dock area will largely be obstructed. MnDOT has already
obtained City permission to use the riverfront trail on the north side of the Hudson Sprayer
facility to allow for truck access from the west via Lock & Dam road. However, the access point
on Lock & Dam road to this trail is not configured well for trucks to make the turn from the
northbound direction. The permit establishes the western portion of the Lake Rebecca parking
lot (see attached map) as an area where trucks destined for Hudson Sprayer will be able to turn
around to approach the riverfront trail access from the southbound direction.
The condition of the parking area will be evaluated by the City and MnDOT prior to the
commencement of its use as a turnaround. After the Bridge project has been completed,
MnDOT will be responsible to return the parking area to as good as or better condition than what
existed prior to the project.
The permit and exhibit is attached for reference.
