I 1- I , I I I I I II r I I I I I I Recommended Imorovements The City Engineer recommends that the Council elect to proceed with the improvements included under Package C. This scope of work is feasible and would achieve most of the goals of the "neighborhood approach" and provide water quality improvement for Lake Johanna and Lake Josephine and correct neighborhood drainage deficiencies at the same time. The City Engineer recommends the inclusion of Hamline A venue if the Council is willing to draw advance funds from the State Aid account to cover the funding shortage between the project costs and assessments to be collected. The proposed alternative of vacating Hamline Avenue between Tiller Lane and Ingerson Road is recommended by the City Engineer as it saves approximately $160,000.00 in project costs (over reconstruction) and serves a relatively low number of residents. In addition, the roadway segment is located in a position which could be utilized for storm water ponding for the Tiller Lane/Cannon A venue storm drainage system. The proposed alternative of constructing cul-de-sacs at Cannon Avenue and Tiller Lane is not recommended by the City Engineer as it reduces neighborhood circulation, costs more than the reconstruction of Cannon A venue in place and would provide minimal benefit to residents relative to reducing traffic. The City Engineer requests that the Council provide direction on whether the proposed roadway widths outlined in this report are acceptable. As is detailed in the report, the existing street network provides a variety of functions which are reflected in the three proposed widths. Council Direction Needed The following is a summary of the issues which need decisions from the Council in order to proceed with final plan preparation: . Scope of streets to include in reconstruction: Ingerson Road, Ingerson Court, Fernwood Street, Fernwood Court, Carlton Drive, Cannon Avenue, Hamline Avenue. Width of streets to be reconstructed.
