WHEREAS, the Nebraska Department of Transportation improving US Highway 30
from just west of Monitor Road east to the existing four-lane divided section west or the US-281/N-
2/US-30 interchange in Grand Island for a distance of 3.4 miles; and
WHEREAS, such improvements shall consist of:
• Two 12-foot wide driving lanes constructed for eastbound and westbound
traffic separated by a 40-foot wide depressed median west of Engleman Road
and a 30-foot wide raised median east of Engleman Road. The improvements
will include 10-foot wide outside shoulders of which 8-feet will be surfaced
and 3-foot wide surfaced inside shoulders.
• US-30 and Claude Road intersection will have 3/4 access, which will
restrict some left turn movements. This is due to the proximity of the
Claude Road intersection to the US-30 and US-281 interchange ramps.
• Due to the relocation of US-30, side roads will be realigned as necessary.
WHEREAS, the City of Grand Island requested the State include the following work
in the project, as stated in the program agreement:
• Median street lighting from the Engleman Road intersection to the east end of
the project and intersection lighting at the intersection of US-30 and Monitor
Road.
• Pedestrian underpass which includes grading for a 3.5-foot grade raise in the
highway profile, for a future recreational trail. The underpass will be closed
to pedestrians until the City's recreational trail is constructed.
• Twin 36" culverts in conjunction with pedestrian underpass to accommodate
a crossing of City's future Moores Creek drainage way; and
• Additional twin 36" culverts to accommodate future Moores Creek drainage
way.
WHEREAS, this project is to be constructed with a cost share from the City of Grand
Island, currently estimated at $2,775,764.00; and
WHEREAS, an agreement with the Nebraska Department of Transportation is
required to proceed with this project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the agreement with the Nebraska Department
of Transportation for the improvements to US Highway 30 is hereby approved.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to
