At its May 14 work session, the Council asked about restriping the four lane segment of Bottineau to six lanes. The original 2010 construction agreement for reconstruction of Bottineau Boulevard required Hennepin County to maintain the 47th Avenue to Wilshire Boulevard segment as a 4-lane segment for at leave 5 years after project completion, unless the city of Crystal requests restriping to six lanes at an earlier date. Hennepin County is able to do the restriping and signage and signal changes in 2015 at no cost to the city but the City Council needs to request the change soon to get in this year’s schedule.
