UNFINISHED BUSINESS – 4A <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />o MnDOT – SRTS: $1,000,000 (City was not selected for this grant) <br />o State GO Bond funds: $2,050,000 <br /> It did not score well for the Met Council Regional Solicitation safe routes to school <br />grant but the final determination has not yet been made and it could still be awarded. <br />We won’t know more until summer, likely June/July. As soon as the funding situation <br />is known, staff will bring this item to a City Council Work Session discussion. <br /> The 2025 Parks Project (Arden Oaks Park & Freeway Park), was presented to <br />Council at the Work Session on 3/11/24 which included PTRC <br />motions/recommendations. On April 8, 2024 City Council approved professional <br />services with Bolton & Menk to begin community engagement and provide planning <br />level cost estimates with the end goal of determining the project scope to move <br />forward with into design. Staff does not have exact dates for everything at this time <br />but next steps are: <br />o April/May - Online Community surveys – Direct mailer was sent to the <br />adjacent neighborhoods with a QR code to take the survey. Posters were <br />installed at each park and at City Hall also with the QR code. The survey was <br />also shared on social media and the City website. <br />o May 28th - City Council Work Session – to present final online survey report, <br />review planning level cost estimates and determine final project scope. <br />o July/August – Concept design with updated cost estimates and host Open- <br />House event <br />o August/September – PTRC and City Council involvement and final cost <br />estimates <br />o Fall 2024 – lock in purchase of play structures <br />o Feb/March 2025 - Project bidding <br />o April 2025 – Award construction contract <br />o Summer/Fall 2025 - Construction <br />Staff will keep PTRC up-to-speed with the Community Outreach events as the dates <br />get nailed down. Thank you to the PTRC members that completed the online survey <br />and please also attend the Open-House event when that takes place in the near future <br />to provide their direct input. <br /> The 2024 PMP Street Project is underway as of early May. This includes pond <br />dredging, some watermain and storm sewer upgrades, Mill and Overlays, Reclaim <br />and Overlays, spot curb replacement but also the addition of parking along the <br />shoulder of Royal Lane, just north of Floral Drive at the hardcourts for Floral Park. <br />The Contractor plans to be completed with the entire project by July. Below is an <br />image from the plan showing the added street parking, ADA improvements and <br />roadway pedestrian access that the Contractor will be installing and tying into our <br />new trails from last year’s park project. <br />Secondly, the project is installing storm sewer from the baseball field at Floral Park to <br />the storm sewer system that exists on Norma Ave. This storm sewer extension is to <br />help with drainage issues in the ball field. However, a number of EAB trees along the <br />trail there had to be removed for the storm sewer installation as well as disease <br />control. Input from PTRC on tree replacement due to the removal of these trees that <br />were impacted by EAB and the storm would be appreciated.
