ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—JULY 13, 2020 3 <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated he would have to investigate this <br /> further and would report back to the Council. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked when the street improvements and signal work would be <br /> completed at the high school. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained the School District anticipates the <br /> crosswalk and signal work would be completed this year. He indicated the broader resurfacing <br /> would be done in 2021. <br /> Councilmember Holden commented she spoke to Mr. Blomstrom for over an hour today <br /> regarding this matter. She supported the City doing something for these roadways given the fact it <br /> would cost the City a whole lot more to completely reconstruct these roadways. She <br /> recommended the City look into purchasing additional pavement and that the work be completed <br /> yet this fall by City staff(other than Cummings Lane). <br /> Mayor Grant questioned if the Public Works crew could complete a cul-de-sac. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom indicated the Public Works crew could <br /> complete this work. <br /> Mayor Grant recommended Fairview, Walden and Hunters Court be completed in 2021. <br /> Mayor Grant asked how long a mill and overlay project would last. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained a two inch resurfacing would last <br /> at least ten years. <br /> Councilmember Scott supported the work as proposed. <br /> Councilmember McClung and Councilmember Holmes were in agreement as well. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom requested the Council consider renting a <br /> larger paver for the work being completed this fall. <br /> Mayor Grant supported this recommendation. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if the higher priced oil pavement product would make the streets <br /> last longer. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom commented there was some debate regarding <br /> this matter. He indicated the higher grade oils generally do perform better. He requested the <br /> Council allow staff to investigate the pricing and asphalt products in order to allow him to make <br /> the best investment for these streets. <br /> Councilmember Holden recommended staff look at completing Hunter Lane and Fairview in <br /> 2021. <br />
