[0:00] [Music] [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.
