Feasibility Report TKDA Project No. 18196.000 City of Arden Hills Page 10 for these improvements would also be a County expenditure. This report recommends the assessment of pedestrian improvements, in coordination with Ramsey County, at the intersections of Arden Oaks Drive and Snelling Avenue and Arden Oaks Drive and County Road E. There are currently no pedestrian ramps on either side of the street and no sidewalks on Arden Oaks Drive. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) would require the installation of pedestrian ramps on both sides of the intersections. Additionally, pedestrian safety and ease of crossing would benefit from a flashing beacon sign. An additional issue noted by residents in the questionnaire was semi-truck traffic turning around within the neighborhood, specifically the cul-de-sac off Snelling Avenue. The neighborhood streets are not designed for, or expected to have truck traffic. The cul-de-sac could be reduced in size to discourage this activity; however, this would lengthen residential driveways and bring them closer to one another. Another solution may be to add a center island in the cul-de-sac containing a rain garden to discourage turnaround traffic. This issue will be reviewed as a part of the final considerations and design process. A power point presentation will be prepared with audio to be placed on the City’s website. This power point will provide information from the feasibility study in preparation for the upcoming public hearing. A link to the website will be sent with the notice for the public hearing along with contact information for any questions. Project Funding: Estimated costs: The following costs were prepared for the recommended full depth reclamation. An Engineer’s Estimates (Exhibit 4) was prepared and is subject to change depending on the final design of the project, required easements and/or right of way, soil conditions, bids received, and actual work performed. The cost estimate includes indirect cost for City administration, design engineering, construction engineering, legal support, fiscal support, interest during construction, assessment roll preparation, and contingencies encountered during design and construction. Table 2 provides a summary of the estimated project construction and indirect costs.
