DATE: June 20, 2016 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: John Anderson, Acting Public Works Director <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Boulevard Maintenance <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Provide feedback to staff on boulevard maintenance. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Public Works cuts nearly 50 acres of grass though out the city in various locations. Much of this <br />is in city parks or along trails but we maintain areas around lift stations, water towers and other <br />city owned property. Some of the areas we have historically cut fall in boulevards adjacent to <br />private property. Staff is reviewing the areas we cut to make sure we maintain city property and <br />not private property. A few of the locations we have come across that are private property, but <br />mowed by the city include; 1445 Floral drive (across from Floral park), the east boulevard along <br />Hamline Avenue between Floral Drive and Wyncrest. <br /> <br />We have been dropping off these areas from our mowing routine as we review our procedures. <br />We wanted to provide this information to the City Council in case this change caused concerns <br />for the City Council. We still plan to maintain areas where the sight distance is limited at <br />intersections such as along the east side of Snelling Avenue south of Lindy’s Park. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Attachment A: Sample area showing mowing change <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM – 1G <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
