The City Council authorized the preparation of construction plans and <br />contract documents for the parking lot, along with proposed pedestrian crosswalk improvements within <br />Hamline Avenue and drainage improvements within Shoreline Drive on February 24, 2020. <br />The project consultant has prepared a preliminary plan for the proposed parking lot improvements as <br />shown on Attachment A. The plan includes replacement of damaged sidewalk and concrete curb, <br />replacement of sidewalk where vertical movement has created a trip hazard, site improvements for <br />compliance with ADA requirements, replacement of existing light poles and fixtures, reconstruction of <br />bituminous pavement, and drainage improvements. <br />In an effort to contain project costs, the proposed improvements do not include modification of the <br />existing parking lot configuration. The estimate assumes milling and removing the top four inches of <br />the existing pavement, then reclaiming (grinding) the remaining pavement to blend the bituminous <br />material with the underlying aggregate base and stabilize the subgrade support for the new pavement. <br />In addition, the entrance road would be crowned to shed water to the curb lines and conveyed runoff to <br />the surface discharge points by new valley gutter. This design avoids the additional cost of installing <br />storm sewer to address current drainage problems.
