TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT FUND APPLICATION
GREAT RIVER ROAD/MONTICELLO PATHWAY &
BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Monticello requests transportation enhancements funds necessary to complete
development of a combination of class 1 (off-road bike paths) and class lI and III (on -road bike
paths) that would connect populated areas at the perimeter of the community to points of
destination located throughout the length of the community. In addition to serving the local
pedestrian and bike needs, it will also serve to enhance the experience of those from outside the
community that pass through Monticello while enjoying the Great River Road corridor. Included
in the project is a proposal to construct 3.78 miles of class I trail and designate 3.11 miles of
class II and III trails at a total cost of $379,718. Also included are plans for beautification of the
Great River Road route through strategic placement of landscape plantings along the trail route.
The project as proposed represents phase II of Monticello's long-term plan to improve pedestrian
and bike transportation within the community.
Phase I has recently been completed and consists of 4.64 miles of sidewalk. Construction of this
phase was funded by a combination of general tax dollars and assessments levied against
individual property owners. The pedestrian transportation system now in place is maintained
year-round and provides safe off-street access to all significant destination points in the original
core city. The City of Monticello requests financial assistance necessary to complete the project,
which is designed to connect outlying populated areas of Monticello to the existing sidewalk system
now serving the core area of the community. Connecting outlying areas to the existing pedestrian
system would enable safe pedestrian and bike access for all citizens of Monticello to schools,
churches, river parks, playgrounds, libraries, and historic places.
NEEDS ANALYSIS
The original plat of Monticello is compact and rectangular, which has allowed establishment of a
sidewalk grid system that can easily serve the transportation needs of residents within the original
platted area. In the past 20 years, Monticello has grown well beyond the boundaries of the
original plat in an cast/west pattern squeezed between the 1.94 freeway on one side and the
Mississippi River on the other. Large multi -family and single family residential areas, schools,
and parks have been developed along the length of this corridor. Unfortunately, the roadway
extending through the heart of the corridor (County State Aid Highway 75) is a very busy, two-
lnne highway (ave. daily traffic 8,358). Traffic speed on this highway is 45 mph to 55 mph.
Due to the high speed and high volume of traffic, use of this right. of --way for bike and pedestrian
access from outlying areas to the core city is not safe. CSAH 75 provides an excellent route for
the high volume of tourists passing through Monticello on their way to and from "the lake" and
provides the, primary avenue for local vehicular access to all points within the city but acts as a
barrier to safe movement of pedestrians and bicyclists. The problem is amplified by the fact that
CSA.H 75 is the only route available for pedestrian/bike transportation to and from large areas.
Following is a summary of points of origination and destination along the CSA.H 75 corridor that
will be served through development of the project as proposed.
ISTEA.NAR: 4/15/93 page 2
East
Rapid residential development has occurred in the last 10 years on the east side of the community
along the CSAH 75 corridor. A considerable amount of land remains undeveloped on the east side,
and it is expected Lhat residential development in the area will continue to grow. It is estimated
that by 1995, the total housing units on the east side within .5 miles of CSAH 75 will grow to 450.
This development results in a population of approximately 1,200 that must. utilize CSAH 75 as
their primary access to the central city area. Population growth is expected to surge well beyond
1,200 as ample land is available to support continued growth well into the next century.
Unfortunately, the route for bike and pedestrian access to the core area is limited to paved
shoulders on CSAH 75, which is a high volume (8,358 ADT), high speed roadway (45-55 mph).
In summary, the east side of the community represents a large and growing point of origin of
pedestrian and bike trips to the central area. The need for development of a route for safe
pedestrian access to the central area is evident today and will intensify as the city grows.
Central Area
The central section of Monticello is essentially the original plat of the city. This area is just over
one mile in length and about one-half a mile wide. It is estimated that the total population of the
central area is 2,200. The current city sidewalk grid system and wide residential streets (36 feet)
provide the opportunity for safe pedestrian and bike movement within the central city area. Points
of destination within this area include Monticello High School, Monticello Business District, three
scenic river parks, the community library, city hall, and five churches. Also within the central
area are two major points of interest for users of the river road corridor. These include the Rand
.Mansion, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, and Little Mountain Settlement,
which is a family-owned museum featuring structures and artifacts from the area's pioneer days.
In summary, the central core city of Monticello is a major point of destination for residents from
the west and east sides of Monticello as well as a point of destination for users of the Great River
Road.
West Side
As with the east side, pedestrian and bike movement to the central area is unsafe due to the high
traffic volume (6,618) and speed (50 mph) of traffic on the main connecting right-of-way
(CSAH 75). It is estimated that by 1995, the total housing units on the west side within .5 miles
of CSAH 75 will grow to 675, creating a population of approximately 1,800 that utilize CSAH 75.
The west side of Monticello features important pointe of destination for pedestrian and bike users
originating in the central and east side of the community. The list would include Pinewood
Elementary School, Magic Kingdom Playground, tennis courts, two community/regional ballfield
complexes, and a 177 -acre river park. All of the facilities noted above aro located directly adjacent
to CSAH 75.
In summary, the need for better, safer pedestrian and bike access to and from the west side of
Monticello is clear.
ISTEA.NAR: 4/15/93 Page 3
Citizen Survevs Definine Need for Imoroved Pedestrian/Bike Path Svstem
In the past five years, two major citizen surveys have been conducted for the purpose of
determining needs for facilities and service development within the city of Monticello. Both
iurveys indicated a concern regarding traffic within the community and indicated a desire for
improved bike and pedestrian opportunities.
In 1988, citizens were asked to rate the quality of various services in Monticello. in this survey,
street traffic and bike paths received the lowest rating among the quality of life factors measured.
In 1992, a more extensive survey was conducted which focused on determining specific community
needs in terms of recreation facility development. The concept of developing pathways for walking
and biking was very popular. The survey results showed that 70% of those responding indicated
that they would be willing to see taxes increased to fund pathways. Seven percent indicated that
they did not know, and only 23`70 said that they did not want taxes increased to fund pathway
development.
Similarly, 66% rated the availability of paths for activities like biking and walking unfavorably.
The perceived lack of these types of facilities was consistent with the high number of residents
that indicated that they participate in biking and walking activities outside of their home. In
summary, support for pathway development as indicated in the survey has motivated the Parks
Commission and City Council to complete a city-wide pathway system.
Demographic data supports survey data. According to the State Comprehensive Outdoor
Recreation Plan, the 25-44 age group will benefit most from pathway development. Coincidentally,
local population growth trends indicate that this is a large and growing age group in Monticello
,hat now represents 351 of the total population. (See Exhibit D)
PROJECT DETAIL AND NEEDS ADDRESSED
The following section identifies specific trail segments in terms of classification, length, cost, and
purpose and is designed to show how needs identified above will be addressed via the project. (See
Exhibit A for segment locations)
Seement IA 1. Class 1I Trnil - Alone East Countv Road 39 From Citv Limits to CSAH 75 Serving
North-East Monticello. Great River Road Users
This on -road trail segment is 4,800 feet in length and will require installation of signs only, as
shoulders are already in place and striped. The main purpose of the improvements is to identify
East County Road 39 as a bike route for users of the Great River Road corridor and for local users
living in nearby populated areas. An off-road trail was not proposed for this segment because
current traffic volume and user demand did not appear to justify the expense. The total cost to
complete this segment through installation of signs amounts to $806. It is proposed that this cost
be paid by the County or by the City of Monticello.
ISTEA.NAR: 4/15/93 Page 4
Segment 10A. CSAH 75 - Meadow Oak Avenue to Hart Boulevard
Development of this 6,200 -ft, 8 -ft wide, of -road bituminous path is critical to providing safe
pedestrian and bike access to the core city of Monticello for those living in the highly populated
ueas on the east side of the community. According to the Wright County Engineer, the average
daily traffic at this location is 8,31-3. it should be noted that the traffic on this segment is much
higher during weekends, as this is a popular route for tourist traffic traveling to and from the
northern lakes area.
This off-road path will lie completely within the county road right-of-way and, therefore, no land
acquisition is necessary. It is estimated that the cost to construct this trail segment will amount
to $93,000.
In conjunction with pathway development, it is also proposed that the pathway/river road corridor
be beautified through installation of landscape plantings at three strategic locations along this
segment. Specifically, it is proposed that evergreen trees be planted to mitigate the visual impact
of two steel warehouses and one billboard. In addition, it is proposed that tree plantings occur at
intermittent locations where no trees now exist. Total funds budgeted for this aspect of the project
amount to $26,000.
Segment 13A. Washington Street - Broadwav (CSAH 75) to 7th Street
This 2,000 -ft segment consists of a combination of an on -street bike route and sidewalk, which will
provide a north/south linkage between CSAH 75 and 7th Street. This route provides safe access
from the CSAH corridor to Monticello High School, ballfields/football stadium, Rand Mansion, and
( to the Little Mountain Settlement. Total cost of this improvement is estimated at $28,000.
Segment 18A. River Street. - Ellison Park to Chestnut Street
This segment is a 6,400 ft long class III trail along a residential street that parallels CSAH 75.
River Street provides a pleasant neighborhood/river setting for bike riders not wishing to continue
along the heavily -traveled CSAH 75. River Street serves three river parks which include Ellison
Park, which is a Great River Road Park, and East/West Bridge Park. It also features a convenient
signalized crossing at Highway 25. The project calls for installation of signs only along this
segment and includes the possibility of prohibition of parking on one side of the road on River
Street. This may not be necessary, however, as on -road parking on River Street is quite
uncommon. The west end of this segment connects to Chestnut Street, which provides access to
segment 25A. The cost to install bike route signs along this segment is $538.
Segment 25A. CSAH 75 - Chestnut to Ierry Liefert. Drive
This segment is an off-road path along CSAH 75 which connects the existing core city grid system
to residential areas west of the central area. An off-road path is necessary at this location due to
the high traffic volume (6,618 ADT) and high speeds (60 mph). This segment length is 4,400 feet
and passes alongside major points of destination, including Pinewood School, Magic Kingdom
Playground, tennis courts, and a softbalMaseball complex. A portion of this segment features A
pleasant view of a nature area south of the trail and east of the nearby railroad tracks and also
ncludes a footbridge with a scenic view of Otter Creek. Total cost of this segment, including the
midge, is estimated at $101,000.
1STEA.NAR: 4/15/93 Page 6
Segment 24A. CSAH 75 - .Jerry Liefert Drive to River Street
This segment is 4,000 feet long and is essentially an extension of the segment discussed above.
This segment provides trail access to residential points west of segment 25A and provides access
:o destination points on the extreme west side of town for residents living in the core area and on
the east side of the community. These destination points include the NSP regional softball fields
and the Montissippi Regional Park. The total cost of this trail segment is estimated at $69,000.
To beautify the pathway, it is proposed that trees be planted at intermittent locations along
portions of this segment. The tree budget for this segment is $4,500.
Segment 23A. CSAH 75 - River Street to Citv Limits
This segment consists of a type 11 trail on CSAH 75. The major users of this segment will be users
of the Great River Road corridor. There are populated township areas west of this destination that
would utilize this trail segment when making trips to and from the city proper. The total cost of
this trail segment is $269.
Segment 21A - River Street/CSAH 75 to NSP Ballfields
It is proposed that this 1,600 -ft segment consist of an off --road pathway along the east side of River
Street. This segment would be on city right-of-way and would provide safe access to a regional
ballfield. The estimated cost of this segment is $28,000.
Alongside River Street on the side opposite of the proposed path is property currently being used
as a storage area for abandoned vehicles, machinery, and other miscellaneous items. The use of
.his property as a junk yard is a legal non -conforming use because it was a junk yard before the
City adopted its zoning ordinance. This junk yard is well within view of users of the Great River
Road (CSAH 75). The proposed landscaping plan for this segment calls for screening the view of
the junk yard from CSAH 75 through planting of evergreen trees at 15-11 intervals along the
length of the junk yard. It is estimated that the total cost to install landscaped plantings will
amount to $10,000.
Segment 26A - Elm Street from West Countv Road 39 to CSAH 75
This street (Elm Street) segment consists of a 1,200 -ft off-road pathway that bridges a highly
congested area that is unsafe for bike or pedestrian use due to high traffic volume (2,600 ADT) and
on -street parking. This pathway connects a highly populated area directly to the city grid system
and thus allows this area to be incorporated into the pedestrian and bike transportation network.
The total cost of this segment is estimated at $18,000.
The purpose of beautification efforts in this area is to buffer the parking lot located along the
perimeter of a portion of this trnil segment. This will be accomplished through strategic placement
of shrubs and understory trees. The estimated cost of landscaping is $4,000.
ISTEA.NAIt: 4/15/03 Page 6
QUALIFYING CRITERIA
Following is a review of the project in terms of the qualifying criteria.
he proposed project is consistent with the qualifying criteria as follows:
The project as designed provides facilities for pedestrians and bicycles. The project is
integrated with the Great River Road Scenic and Historic Highway Program and includes
significant beautification efforts.
Local Match. The City of Monticello has passed a resolution which authorizes payment of
25% of the total project cost.
Proiect Maintenance. The City of Monticello has passed a resolution which guarantees
maintenance of the proposed project for the life of the project.
Poaulation Reouirement. The population of the city of Monticello exceeds 5,000; therefore,
Monticello is eligible for direct participation.
5. Proiect Cost Exceeds $50.000. The project as proposed amounts to $379,718.
6. Demonstrated Relationshiu to Transoortstion. The proposed plan is truly an enhancement
of an existing transportation system. It enables pedestrian and bike traffic to be integrated
with an existing right-of-way now used primarily for vehicular movement. The proposed
project is integrated with an existing pedestrian and bike transportation network and
represents a major portion of the long-term City Pathway Plan. Finally, the project
enhances the Great River Road transportation corridor.
Mitiention of Transnortat.ion Proiec4. The project as proposed is an enhancement and not
mitigation.
PRIORITY CRI17EIIIA
The deeree to which the aronosed nroiect fulfills the intent of ISTEA.
The proposed project fits the goals and objectives of ISTEA, which is to preserve community
quality and protect the environment. The project will result in the ability of a large
segment of the local population to utilize and enjoy community services without the
necessity of utilizing a car to get, to their point of destination. It provides the opportunity
for multiple modes of transportation (bike/pod) where only one exists today (auto). The
long-term beneficial impacts in terms of reduced traffic and reduction in reliance on fossil
fuels are obvious.
The planning process supporting the project is consistent with ISTEA objectives relating ta
project planning because the planning process included considerable public input at the local
level, and the project is integrated and consistent with planning efforts conducted at the
state and national level. At the local level, the plan stemmed from citizen input obtained
via a recreation survey and through public testimony provided to the Parks Commission.
ISTEA.NAR: 4/15/93 page 7
At the state level, the plan is consistent with state objectives identified in the
Comprehensive Bike Plan; and, finally, the project promotes national transportation goals
identified in the Great River Road Program. (See Exhibit D).
?. Proiects with components which have been funded or implemented with other funding
sources. esoecially orniects for which the oroposed enhancements funded element would
complete a larger oroiect concept or plan.
As noted in the description of the project, the enhancement funds would be used to help
finance phase II (Exhibit A) of the City's overall plan for development of pedestrian and
bikeway systems. Phase I (Exhibit B) is now complete and resulted in development of 4.25
miles of sidewalk now enjoyed primarily by residents within the core area of the city.
Phase 11, funded in part by the enhancement program, would enable areas with large
populations and significant points of destination to have pedestrian and bike access to the
core sidewalk grid system. Phase I1 will result in completion of the cast/west corridor to
which future north/south pathways will be connected in conjunction with projected long-
term residential development south of the corridor area. The long-term trail development
schedule for the city is identified on Exhibit C.
The project will enhance the motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists' enjoyment of the historic
and scenic Great River Road by improving bike/pedestrian safety and by beautifying the
landscape.
The project is integrated with county pathway development plans (Exhibit E). Wright
County is planning on development of a scenic bikeway and walkway in the 177 -acre
Montissippi Park. Montissippi Park is located at the western end of the proposed pathway
system along the CSAR 75 corridor. Completion of phase 11 of the pathway system will
enable safe access to ;,his scenic park on foot or by bike for all residents within the
community.
In addition, the project is consistent with bike planning goals and recommendations set
forth in the State of Minnesota Comprehensive State Bicycle Plan as follows:
State goals and objectives for 1999 include the goal of "enhancing
bicycling so that the bicycle becomes the cosy choice in contributing to the
health, safety, and welfare of Minnesotans".
Bicycle or pedestrian use of the CSAti 75 corridor is currently a difficult choice due to high
auto/truck speeds and volume. Installation of an off-road path as proposed will make the
route attractive to bike riders and thus achieve the state goal by making the bicycle the
easy choice.
The project also contributes toward achieving program recommendations relating to
recreation and tourism. State program recommendations that this project addresses include
the following:
ISTEA.NAR: 4/15/93 Page 8
"Bicycle tour routes continue to be established, improved, mapped, and signed in areas
of the state that have significant tourism potential". and
"Local bicycle trails be developed that provide recreational and optimum
transportation opportunities".
3. Proiects which oualifv in two or more of ten catezories of enhancements.
The proposed project qualifies in the following categories:
1) Provision of facilities for pedestrians and bicycles.
2) Scenic Highway Programs (Great River Road).
3) Historic Highway Program (Great River Road).
4) Landscaping and Other Scenic Beautification. The project provides landscaping to
buffer impact and beautify two steel warehouses, a parking lot, and a junk yard.
5) Historic Preservation. The project deserves qualification under this category because
it provides improved pedestrian/bike access to two historic sites (Rand Mansion, Little
Mountain Settlement), thereby improving the ability of the public to appreciate the
historic significance of the historic places served by the project.
4. Proiects which have alreadv zone throuzh a state-wide or reeional oroiect priority settine
process.
The project has not gone through a state-wide or regional project priority setting process.
No regional or stats -wide priority setting process is available for this project to be evaluated
under.
5. Proiects which demonstrate more than a local impact or benefit.
The proposed project will have a significant impact on hikers, bikers, and motorists visiting
or passing through Monticello. For instance:
Bicyclists and motorists from afar following the Great River Road corridor will benefit from
beautification efforts and will enjoy improved pedestrian and bike access through the
community, thus enhancing their river road experienco.
Monticello is frequently tho point of destination or a rest stop for organized cross-country
bike events. The proposed project will certainly make these events a more pleasant
experience for the thousands that participate. A listing of these major cross-country bike
events includes: TRANI 260, 3,000 riders - 1990; KARE I 1 Bike Classic - annual ride, 1,600
riders; Ironman - annual ride, 4,300 riders.
ISTEA.NAR: 4/16/93 Pago 9
Due to the close proximity of Monticello to the west metro area, it is quite common to see
individuals or small groups ofbicyclists from the metro area enjoying a "country" ride in the
Monticello area. As the metro area continues to grow in a westerly fashion, this trend will
continue to grow.
The project will also serve township residents living in the semi -urban areas adjacent to the
city of Monticello. The 1990 census figures indicate that approximately 6,000 people reside
in township areas within 3 miles of Monticello. Undoubtedly, these folks will benefit by
having improved bike/pedestrian access to points of destination within the city.
6. Proiects which can be completed by the end of calendar vear 1994.
It is possible that this project can be completed by the end of the construction season in
1993 and no later than the end of 1994. All of the land area necessary to construct the
proposed trail segments is located on county or city right-of-way. The County Engineer has
approved the concept plans behind this project, and there is no concern that the City will
have any problem at all in obtaining permission to utilize county right-of-way where
necessary. In addition, the City Council has already authorized development of the
feasibility study (Exhibit G), which will commence at such time that the grant is awarded
to the City. In sum, this is a simple, straight -forward project with no environmental,
property owner, or land use conflicts expected.
Proiects with a match in excess of 20%.
The project as proposed is estimated to cost $379,718. The City proposes to fund 25%
of the cost, which amounts to $95,064.

Jeff O'Neill
Assistant City Administrator

Monticello, MN 55362.9245
Dear Mr. O'Neill:
Your proposed bikeway project provides the kind of multimodal recreational access that
has always been an integral part of the Great River Road program It gives the bicycle
user opportunities to experience river views and access. It connects the bicycle user with
Ellison Park which used Great River Road development funds and a number of other
recreational facilities in the Monticello area.
With the growing interest in cross-country bike-a•thon events the Great River Road is
becoming more attractive all the time as a bicycle touring route. Your project will
provide the kind of 'Complete' bike route that will help achieve the Great River Road
goal of providing a scenic and recreational facility along the Mississippi River from fake
Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico for both the biker and the motorist.
Sincerely,
1064,4e
Donald L Moberg
