We jointly agreed on the need for a variance request for the segment rom E. 7th to Prosperity; that variance was granted in June of 1981. Now, at time of final plans and specifications approval, MnDOT has raised the issue of need for variance on the segment from E. 7th to Minnehaha an refuse� to approve plans entitling us to MSA funding. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval by MnDOT has been withheld from the entire Johnson Parkway p oject for our use of MSA funds until we either delete this portion or reque t anohter variance for that segment. We must request variance to get t e funds and complete tFie entire length of Johnson Parkway. ATTACHMENTS: Council Resolution MnDOT letter denying approval ,.

PAUL Dear Mr. Wheeler: We have reviewed the above referenced plan in regard to State Aid Standards and for variances granted. We find that the variance request for Johnson Parkway was from East Seventh Street to the end of the project at Prosperity Avenue. Commissioner Braun on June 2, 1981, granted the variance as requested. We are of the opinion that Johnson Parkway south of East Seventh Street does not meet the State Aid standards as the present traffic of 9400 expanded to a 20 Year projection of 10,000 is not realistic. It is of i nterest to note that the 1978 ADT shown on the Metropolitan Traffic Map is 9 ,500 for the segment in question. Also, the traffic from Third Street to Minnehaha was shown at 10,000 expanded to a 20 Year projection of 1 3,000 on a prevtous project (SAP 164-129-07). With such inconsistencies noted in the traffic counts and projections, we ' _�tea��l�,,�g�a.�i¢�:yr ��'�t��'��tf.o.n�.c�:�ohn�o�n�`�"�wa�sa'�. �' _ 1 � r , � , .
