SUBJECT:
Resolution approving an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Aurora, Illinois and Fox Valley Park District for Waubonsie Lake Park.
PURPOSE:
This agreement will allow City to access Fox Valley Park District (Waubonsie Lake Park) property to rebuild the shared use path as part of the Montgomery and Kautz Traffic signal project.
BACKGROUND:
City staff is currently working on Montgomery Road and Kautz Road Traffic Signal Installation project. The project will consist of installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of Montgomery Road and Kautz Road, updating ADA ramps, striping and other pertinent improvements. The Council had approved the original contract for phase II engineering on March 14, 2023 (R23-073) to Baxter and Woodman, Inc, maximum amount of $39,412.00 and a Supplemental agreement was approved on November 28, 2023 for the amount of $18,833.00.
DISCUSSION:
During the design phase, it was determined that the intersection meets warrants for a right turn lane installation and adding the right turn lane will impact the existing curb and gutter, parkway, and the shared use path. To restore the parkway and shared use path a permanent easement is required from Fox Valley Park District (FVPD). After the completion of the signal project, City will continue to maintain the shared use path.
The signal project is currently in Phase 2 engineering and will go through IDOT review process. It is ideal to have the IGA with FVPD in place before the State review to speed up the review process.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact is anticipated with the execution of this agreement.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends executing the Intergovernmental Agreement between City of Aurora, IL and Fox Valley Park District for Waubonsie Lake Park.
