Discussion was held on the placing of a street light at the intersection of Engleman and Airport <br /> Road. Mr. Hartman and Steve looked at the intersection and he will ask the city to put up a light <br /> on the south side of Airport Road East of Engleman Road. <br /> TRAFFIC COUNTS — Steve stated he is taking traffic counts on 4 gravel roads for future asphalt <br /> surfacing. <br /> 1. The 3 miles of Locust Street that are still gravel north of the Adams the County line <br /> 2. The 1 mile of 60th Road east of the Village of Alda that is gravel <br /> 3. The 4 mile stretch of One R Road that is still gravel between Cairo and US Highway 281 <br /> 4. The 1 mile of Stolley east of Grand Island that is still gravel <br /> They will look at the traffic counts to see if the county should consider changes to the <br /> intersections. <br /> Hartman ask if they could tell the difference between cars and trucks with the counters and <br /> Steve said the counters identify car, truck, wheel base, and speeds within a reasonable margin <br /> of error. <br /> Bredthauer ask about Binfield Road where they are replacing the bridge with culverts. Steve <br /> said the road is open for local traffic to cross the culverts they are planning to clean things up on <br /> Wednesday. There will be some work to finish after the frost is out of the ground. She ask if <br /> they had the next project lined up and Steve they have not but they could be extending the <br /> concrete box culvert on Rosedale Road or replacing the bridge on Burwick Road north of <br /> Capital Avenue with Culvert pipes. <br /> Bredthauer ask about the engineering with Olsson and they are working on the hydrology and <br /> hydraulics and he is moving forward with that project. <br /> JEO has provided more updates with flows so he can size the culvert and then it will go back to <br /> JEO to complete the culvert data sheet and send it to Nebraska Dept. of Transportation to <br /> design the concrete box culvert. <br /> Hartman thanked the road crew for fixing the mud hole on Old Potash Highway between 1110th <br /> Road and Burwick Road. They were on it the next day and opened up 2 driveways. Steve said <br /> he would pass that on to the guys that did the work. Karen asked if they had fixed a hole in a <br /> culvert just to the east of the mud hole. Steve said he would check on it. <br /> Quandt noted that they met with the railroad and ask about traffic counts on Engleman, North <br /> Road and Webb Road crossing. Steve said that he understood the city was going to get the <br /> counts on North Road and he would coordinate to get all the roads counted. <br /> 11.
