Re: Scandia City Center Study
______________________________________________________________________________
Background:
Washington County Public Works will launch a project identified in their 2023 County CIP - a "Scandia
City Center Study.” This study is meant to bring together three agencies - the County, Scandia, and
MnDOT to explore options and recommend improvements related to bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicle
traffic in the city (see the attached excerpt from the County CIP).
Staff met with Washington County on April 24. The project requires a local contribution of $50,000,
which was included in the 2023 CIP. Council discussed the City Center Study on June 7, raising questions
about the scope of the study and how much input the City would have in the areas of the City being
studied. I have emailed back and forth with Sara Allen from Washington County regarding Council’s
concerns.
Issue:
The County is currently drafting an RFP for the Study, which will be posted in August. Council was sent
the RFP for review and comment separately. The County will not post the RFP without agreement from
the Council that they would like to move forward with the Study.
Fiscal Impact:
The City’s portion of the Study is $50,000. It is identified in the 401 General Capital Project Fund for
payment in 2023.
Options:
1) Approve the City’s participation in the Scandia City Center Study
2) Decline not to participate in the City Center Study.
Recommendation:
Option 1
