Councilmember Holden questioned the 8 foot shoulder on Alternative 4. Public Works Director Maurer responded the state aid minimum is 6 feet but 8 feet is what is there now. Civil Engineer Woodruff explained that the storm water improvement costs drop significantly on Alternative 4 because there would be no Rice Creek Watershed District requirements. He further stated that Alternative 5 is the minimal improvement and would not be to State Aid standards which means the City would have to use its own funds. Public Works Director Maurer explained that Alternative 5 is the narrowest option with no allowance for pedestrians.
