I I. I I I I I . I .. I I I I I I I. I I INTRODUCTION On October 12, 1999, the Arden Hills City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2000 Street Improvements Project. This project includes the reconstruction of several streets within the Ingerson Road Neighborhood. The neighborhood is bound by Lexington Avenue on the east, Highway 51 on the west, Lake Josephine on the south and a series of wetlands, ditches and open space areas to the north. Neighborhood streets that are identified for reconstruction include the following: Existing Proposed Street Name Width Width Ingerson Road 27 32 Ingerson Court 24 32 Femwood Street 27 32 Femwood Court 26 32 Cannon Avenue 24-28 32 Hamline Avenue (north) 22 32 Hamline Avenue (south) 24 32 *These roadways were constructed during or prior to 1961 PCI Rating 65 37 77 86 44 11 59 Last Known Roadwork 1961* 1961* 1989 1989 1961* 1961* 1961* The neighborhood as a whole is ranked as a high priority for reconstruction based upon the 1999 Arden Hills Comprehensive Street Condition Assessment Report. The streets identified have Pavement Condition Indexes (PCI) ranging from 11 to 86 with a weighted average of 55. Existing and proposed street widths are shown on the table above. All of the streets included in the study have received no major rehabilitation work since 1961 or earlier except for Fernwood Street and Fernwood Court which were overlayed in 1989. None of the streets currently has concrete curb and gutter although some drainage catch basins exist on Carlton Drive and Femwood Street. Ingerson Road and adjacent yards west of Femwood Street experience localized flooding on a regular basis as the terrain is very flat and no drainage infrastructure exists in this area. The southern portion of the neighborhood drains to Lake Josephine via an inlet located between Ingerson Court and Fernwood Court. The remainder of the neighborhood drains to a wetland located east of Hamline A venue between Ingerson Road and Tiller Lane. Portions of Hamline A venue south of Ingerson Road drain directly to the ditch system which eventually flows to Lake Johanna. There are no storm water quality ponds located in the neighborhood currently. Tiller Lane, Dunlap Street and Dellwood Street have been reconstructed to City standards with concrete curb and gutter and storm sewer within the past ten years and therefor are not programmed for any work in conjunction with this project. It is anticipated that these streets will be sealcoated along with the rest of the Ingerson Road neighborhood in 2001. 1
