All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted. Background/Discussion On August 26, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution 2019-026 ordering the preparation of a feasibility report for the 2020 pavement management program. The proposed improvements included Old Snelling Avenue from approximately Arden Oaks Drive to Trunk Highway 51 and County Road E from Ridgewood Road to Pascal Avenue. The feasibility report describes proposed street and utility improvements organized into two separate areas. Area 1 involves improvements to the 4,300-ft long segment of Snelling Avenue North located south of County Road E as well as street improvements to Cummings Lane and the intersection at Bussard Court. Area 2 involves improvements to the intersection of Snelling Avenue North at County Road E. Given Ramsey County has rescheduled these intersection improvements to 2023 in their Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), it is recommended further traffic studies and analysis be conducted in the interim. In accordance with Council direction, a Feasibility Report has been prepared that details the proposed improvements, neighborhood impacts, estimated costs and financing for the proposed project. A copy of the Feasibility Report is attached (Attachment A). NEW BUSINESS – 9C MEMORANDUM
