[0:01] We have a Vernon Avenue and Highway 100
[0:03] interchange project update for you. My
[0:06] name is Chad Milner and I'm the city
[0:07] engineer for the city of Adina. So,
[0:10] coming soon, the on-ramp from 50th
[0:13] Street to northbound Highway 100 will be
[0:16] closed. That work will close that
[0:18] intersection for a few months until late
[0:21] fall. This will allow the contractor to
[0:23] build a noise wall from Minhaha Creek up
[0:26] to 50th Street. It'll allow them to
[0:28] build the new on-ramp and install the
[0:31] new signal system in that location. Once
[0:34] that work's complete, we will try to
[0:36] open that ramp as soon as possible to
[0:38] allow that access. The detours, there's
[0:40] a local detour down to Benton Avenue if
[0:42] you use the local frontage roads. The
[0:45] sign detour is having you take Eden
[0:47] Avenue and entering southbound Highway
[0:49] 100, going down to the interchange with
[0:52] Highway 62, taking the eastbound Highway
[0:55] 62 exit, and then immediately taking the
[0:58] northbound Highway 100 exit to exit back
[1:02] up to Graange Road or continuing north
[1:06] on northbound Highway 100. We also ask
[1:09] that you be courteous to pedestrians and
[1:11] cyclists within the district. We're
[1:13] seeing a lack of yielding to pedestrians
[1:15] using crosswalks midblock and crosswalks
[1:18] around the roundabouts. So, please be
[1:19] courteous of those pedestrians and be
[1:22] courteous to fellow drivers when they're
[1:24] trying to enter and exit the
[1:25] roundabouts. If you see a long traffic
[1:27] queue, please allow them to enter. And
[1:30] if everybody works together, it'll be a
[1:32] safe and convenient travel through the
[1:34] district. For more information, please
[1:36] visit betterto togetherina.org
[1:39] for project updates, maps, and other
[1:41] information. Thank you.
