AGENDA ITEM 1A <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: July 28,2014 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director <br /> <br />SUBJECT: County Road E Improvement Update <br /> <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br /> <br />On March 31, 2014, the Council adopted Resolution 2014-019 Receiving the Feasibility Report <br />and Authorizing Preparation of Plans and Specifications. This action was taken by the Council <br />after several meetings reviewing the draft feasibility and directing changes; most notable was <br />reducing the street lighting cost to reflect Xcel Energy installed lighting. Bolton and Menk have <br />been working on the plans and specifications since this action and are approximately 90% done <br />with the plans. <br /> <br />Just as a reminder the major components of the project are: <br /> <br /> <br />County Road E will be milled and overlaid (this is a change as previously the County had <br />planned to just sealcoat the road). <br /> <br />All medians will be reconstructed. <br /> <br />The restriped road will narrow the center left turn lane and provide more space <br />(approximately 5 feet) near the curb for bicyclists. <br /> <br />The intersection at Lexington Avenue will be expanded to provide dual left turn lanes <br />from eastbound County Road E to northbound Lexington. <br /> <br />The existing signal system at Pine Tree Drive will be modified to add new ADA <br />pedestrian crossing facilities and repainted. <br /> <br />The signal system at Connelly/TH 51 will be newly constructed by the MnDOT Bridge <br />project. <br /> <br />Deteriorated curb and gutter will be replaced (Ramsey County will help to identify these <br />segments). <br /> <br />Deteriorated driveway aprons will be repaired. <br /> <br />Deteriorated sidewalk will be repaired. <br />13 <br />Page of <br /> <br />
