Potential 2012 Proiects There are a few projects that have been discussed as possible 2012 projects. Staff would need direction to move forward soon if any of these are to be ready for construction in 2012. These projects are: 1. Old Snelling Avenue from County Road E to TH S 1. A preliminary scoping document laying out options was prepared in December 2010. Preliminary survey work and soil borings were completed at that time. This street is eligible for the use of Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds for improvements that meet MSA standards. 2. The Mounds View High School trail has been discussed. In order to move forward in 2012 with construction, topographic information should be gathered prior to snowfall so design can proceed through the winter months. MSA monies could be used to fund this project. - 3. Council and staff have heard from several residents on Edgewater Avenue between Asbury Avenue and Ridgewood Road about the condition of their street. Its PCI rating is 34 and it is clearly one of worst condition streets in the City. Other Issues Other issues that have been discussed in the past are a review of the City's Assessment Manual relative to the addition of multi-family zonings. It may also be worth reviewing the assessment amount determination given the size of the assessments in the 2010 PMP and the outcome of the assessment appeals on that project. The second issue that was mentioned by the Council in conjunction with the 2011 PMP was to review the Pavement Management Philosophy adopted in 2001. Council Action Requested Have a discussion with staff regarding the balance between street reconstruction and maintenance/preservation activities. Provide staff with direction on potential upcoming projects and/or additional information the Council would like to see at a future meeting.
