The letter <br />contained a number of questions by the Arden Hills City Council regarding the <br />turnback. Those questions and the County's response to those questions are as <br />. follows: <br /> <br />Question 1: With New Brighton Road being nearly twice the length of the <br />originally proposed Lake Johanna Boulevard, to what degree of <br />cost participation would the County provide to bring the road up to <br />City standards, including curb and gutter and storm sewer? <br /> <br />Answer: The County assumed the following road section for the <br />reconstruction of New Brighton Road: 40 ft. road consisting of two <br />12 ft. travel lanes, two six ft. shoulders, 2 ft. of curb and gutter on <br />either side, a 10 ft. bituminous path on one side. Thecost <br />estimates for this section would be: Total cost::: $2,224,658; <br />County cost = $480, 200; New Brighton Cost::: $282,314; Arden <br />Hills cost::: $1,482,144. A detailed breakdown of the cost splits is <br />enclosed. The County would pay the cost of replacing the Railroad <br />Bridge estimated at $1,450,000. <br /> <br />Question 2: The City, ~s part of the original tumback schedule, agreed to take <br />back Lake Johanna Boulevard at the end of the tumback cycle <br />(10years). Why does the County need to accelerate this schedule? <br /> <br />. Answer: <br /> <br />The County is not accelerating the tumback schedule. According to <br />the schedule, Lake Johanna Boulevard was to be turned back in <br />1996. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-..'i FIIR U-1aIe Co1Ddr <br />prtaild(lllftlCldedpipefwlUt'lIlInba8mol101~mer"lea& <br />... <br />
