<br /> . <br /> SUMMARY <br /> The existing roadway is in poor condition and has begun to deteriorate more rapidly as a <br /> result of the recent construction traffic in the district. Some rehabilitation work was <br /> performed on the roadway in the early 1990s but this work has served its expected useful life. <br /> The narrow width of the existing roadway creates potentially hazardous situations with left <br /> turning traffic and does not provide for safe passing of disabled vehicles. The roadway <br /> serves a large volume oftmcking traffic and therefore should be upgraded to pavement <br /> system designed for this type and volume of traffic. <br /> The proposed project is feasible and can be constructed, as described and illustrated in the <br /> report. Project costs, as illustrated herein, are reasonable and representative of the proposed <br /> scope of improvements. The project would enhance the safety and the function of the <br /> intersection of West Round Lake Road providing improved access to existing and future <br /> commercial properties in the Gateway Business District. The project will also improve the <br /> marketability of the Gateway Business District by improving the aesthetics of the corridor <br /> where people will access the district. <br /> The city engineer requests that Council provide direction on the roadway alternates and <br /> . enhancements to be incorporated in the project. The city engineer and staff recommend <br /> combining phases 1 and 2 of West Round Lake Road into one bid package but ask for <br /> Council direction on that issue. <br /> . <br /> 9 <br /> -- -------- <br />
