City Council Meeting Minutes February 20, 2018 Page 15 of 16 Mayor Muckle stated he supports the IGA. It is good for the City and the only way to receive this funding He asked about the timing for the conversations on the regional funding. He suggested the sub -regional projects warrant further discussion Director Davis pointed out the project funding requirements and noted the City is not likely to have any projects qualifying for the regional dollars. The criteria will become clearer for those sub -regional projects and help determine what might be eligible here in Louisville and inform later discussions. Councilmember Stolzmann moved to approve Resolution No. 14, Series 2018, Councilmember Maloney seconded. Voice vote, all in favor. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION — CAMPUS DRIVE CONNECTION STUDY Director Kowar stated staff has coordinated with the Town of Superior to evaluate various transportation improvements around the 88th Street/Campus Drive area. The two municipalities completed this analysis to gain an improved understanding of costs for improvements The improvements evaluated included: • A new bridge connection to the Superior Town Center - $20 5M m Widening of 88th Street from Dillon Rd. to Rock Creek Parkway - $19.5M ® Extension of Campus Dnve to 96th Street - $11.1M • New Slip ramps from US 36 to 88th Ave for improved hospital access - $7M Staff does not support the slip ramps based on the price. The Town Center option needs to be evaluated to see if it adds value for the area. 88th Street is functioning at capacity and staff recommends waiting to see what happens with the Phillips 66 property before addressing this The Campus Drive extension is supported by both communities but it is a guess on the best location not knowing where future development will be. At this time, staff doesn't recommend moving forward with any of these. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton agreed this is not ready for action nght now. There is a need to wait to see what happens at Phillips 66 and there are other needs that should be prioritized. Councilmember Stolzmann stated it is important to note there are existing deficiencies in the area needed to address congestion and give the school another entrance The pnces are simply too high to prioritize right now but conversations should continue to determine what level of funding the City would be expected to provide Mayor Muckle agreed with both Councilmember Stolzmann and Mayor Pro Tem Lipton He added the campus drive extension has to be addressed first, but it doesn't make sense to do this now, we should wait until the area is developed. For the moment we have to wait for the opportunity to arise.
