I I. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: March 12, 1996 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent ~ I FROM: SUBJECT: Lexington Avenue (Larpenteur to County Road E) I Background I The Ramsey County Department of Public Works has identified the segment of Lexington A venue between Larpenteur and County Road E, for milling and overlay this coming construction season. Included in this project are, the addition of several turn lanes, the I modification of a railroad crossing and rehabilitate, add, and interconnect the signal system along this route. I Affecting Arden Hills would be new signals at the County Road D intersection, at which the County proposes an EVP (Emergency Vehicle Preemption) system. .- Mr. Stafford has taken several complaints from residents who use County Road D to enter Lexington Avenue, since his arrival last July. . Mr. Stafford inspected the intersection, and found visibility to the north when approaching Lexington from County Road D is severely restricted, and a signal at this location would be beneficial to the local residents. It is bad enough that most residents prefer cutting through the I adjacent park to enter Lexington where visibility is better. I With permission from the Ramsey County Parks Department, Arden Hills Public Works has been plowing a road through the park all winter for the County Road D residents safety. I Project Costs The Engineers estimate for this project is approximately 1.5 million dollars, of which they expect Federal Funding for 80 percent of the cost. I Arden Hills Costs The new signals at County Road D and Lexington are expected to cost approximately $98,000, I of which Federal Funding is expected to pickup 80 percent. Of the remaining $19,600 the County will pay 75 percent and the County asks that Arden Hills and Roseville split the remaining 25 percent. This brings the cost of the signals to $2,450 to Arden Hills. I " I
