<br />Recommended Improvements <br />The City Engineer recommends that the Council elect to proceed with the improvements outlined <br />above. This scope of work is feasible and would achieve the goals of the "neighborhood <br />approach" and provide water quality improvement for Lake Johanna and Lake Josephine and <br />correct neighborhood drainage deficiencies at the same time. <br /> <br />The proposed alternative of vacating Hamline A venue between Tiller Lane and Ingerson Road is <br />recommended by the City Engineer as it saves approximately $160,000.00 in project costs (over <br />reconstruction) and serves a relatively low number of residents. In addition, the roadway <br />segment is located in a position which could be utilized for storm water ponding for the Tiller <br />Lane/Cannon Avenue storm drainage system. <br /> <br />The proposed alternative of constructing cul-de-sacs at Cannon Avenue and Tiller Lane is not <br />recommended by the City Engineer as it reduces neighborhood circulation, costs more than the <br />reconstruction of Cannon A venue in place and would provide minimal benefit to residents <br />relative to reducing traffic. <br /> <br />The City Engineer requests that the Council provide direction on whether the proposed roadway <br />widths outlined in this report are acceptable or if adjustments to the standard 32 foot width <br />should be made based upon the function of the individual streets. <br /> <br />Council Direction Needed <br />The following is a summary of the issues which need decisions from the Council in order to <br />proceed with final plan preparation: <br />. Scope of streets to include in reconstruction: Ingerson Road, Ingerson Court, Fernwood <br />Street, Fernwood Court, Carlton Drive, Cannon Avenue, Hamline Avenue. <br />. Width of streets to be reconstructed. <br />. Vacation of Hamline A venue between Ingerson Road and Tiller Lane. <br />. Reconfiguration of Cannon A venue and Tiller Lane into cul-de-sacs <br />. Construction of Pond A <br />. Construction of Pond B (requires vacation of Hamline Avenue) <br />. Fernwood Court Channel Improvements <br />. Assessment Rate <br />. City Funding Sources and Amounts <br />. State Aid Account usage level <br /> <br />11 <br />
