AGENDA ITEMS <br />A. Old Snelling and County Road E PMP <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated the City's adopted 2019-2023 <br />Capital Improvement Program includes proposed improvements to Old Snelling Avenue from <br />County Road E to Trunk Highway 51 and improvements to the intersection at County Road E. <br />The Ramsey County Transportation Improvement Program currently identifies project funding for <br />intersection improvement at County Road E and Old Snelling, which is anticipated to include <br />construction of a roundabout. The County is supportive of the City leading the delivery of these <br />improvements under a cooperative agreement. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom reported the purpose of this project <br />is to address infrastructure challenges within the proposed project corridor. Pavement conditions <br />along Old Snelling Avenue have deteriorated, with transverse cracking, alligator cracking and <br />potholes. The pavement condition rating of Old Snelling Avenue is below 30. The intersection of <br />County Road E and Old Snelling currently has significant delays and queuing issues during the <br />PM peak hour. In addition, the City and County have recently identified deteriorated sections of <br />sanitary sewer and storm sewer within the intersection and extending north of County Road E. A <br />potential trail extension along Old Snelling Avenue is also being considered. <br />
