Estimated cost: $3,700,000 (City match-$2,700,000)
Description: Widen Greenburg Road to 5 lanes from Shady Lane to North
Dakota. The project is located wholly within the Washington
Square Regional Center. Project funding for Preliminary

and Highway 217.
Estimated cost: $1,256,220 (City match-$143,780)

Regional Center and will provide another link in the greenbelt
trail system concept adopted as part of the Washington Square

Highway 217 at Shady lane,west to the railroad tracks. The
path will then go south for a short distance to North Dakota and

Exhibit A
4. Project: Ash Street extension between Burnham and commuter rail
parking lot.
Estimated cost: $949,000(local match$97,463)
Description: The extension of Ash Street between Burnham and the proposed
commuter rail park and ride lot will be one part of the larger
Walnut Street extension. The construction of this portion of Ash
Street would allow access to the southern portion of the park and
ride lot,thereby,providing the opportunity to design a second
access. This would allow commuter rail patrons using the park
and ride lot the option of entering and existing from either Main
Street or Ash Street. The second access will not increase the
number of trips, but rather will ease potential congestion along an
already congested Main Street.
This project is not in the RTP on the financially constrained
system,however, the City proposes to trade a portion of the
construction of 72nd Avenue(RTP project#6042). Because this
project is a short length and will serve the commuter rail parking
lot,it is anticipated that it will not result in any additional air quality
impacts. This proposal is in accordance with the eligibility
requirements and will require approval from JPACT and the Metro
Council.
Anticipated fund
and budget year: TIF 08-09
