ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MAY 13, 20137 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes <br /> questioned why this project would not be assessed to the benefiting <br />property owners. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> commented that the maintenance needed on this roadway is at a <br />level above patching and sealcoating. He reported that 50% of the roadway will need to be <br />patched, which led him to recommend the mill and overlay project. He noted that the roadway is <br />currently 20 years old, but that there was a problem with the original mix. He stated that the road <br />should not require this level of repair given the traffic levels along this MSA route. He stated that <br />he does not recommend the use of MSA funds unless the project is absolutely necessary. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> asked if a sidewalk or striped bike path could be added to get pedestrian <br />traffic more easily to the park. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br /> indicated that drivers along this roadway are going fast and pedestrian <br />safety should be considered. He recommended the entire roadway and the parking spaces near the <br />park be striped. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> stated that this issue could be reviewed further by the Council <br />after the plans for the roadway are drawn up by staff. <br /> <br />The Council supported s <br />Avenue and the use of MSA funds. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> explained that he will request bids and report back to the <br />Council at a future meeting. <br /> <br />3.
