I '- I I I I I I I It 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. A public hearing was held in January, 2000 where a number of residents objected to facets of the proposed improvements. The Council subsequently ordered the formation of the Ingerson Neighborhood task force to review the project in depth and provide recommendations for modifying the scope etc. This report has been revised to account for some of the recommendations made by the Ingerson Neighborhood Task Force and subsequent discussions wilh council members and City staff regarding the proposed improvements. This project includes the reconstruction of several streets within the Ingerson Road Neighborhood. The neighborhood is bound by Lexington A venue 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 PCI Last Known Street Name Width Width Rating Roadwork Ingerson Road 27 28 65 1988 Ingerson Court 24 24 37 1961 * Femwood Street 27 28 77 1989 Femwood Court 26 24 86 1989 Cannon Avenue 24-28 28 44 1961* HamlineAvenue(north) 22 28 11 1961* Hamline Avenue (south) 24 28 59 1987 *These roadways were constructed during or prior to 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. Three of the streets included in the study have received no major rehabilitation work since 1961 or earlier. Ingerson Road, Hamline Avenue, Femwood Street and Femwood Court have received overlays within the past 12 years. None of the streets currently has concrete curb and gutter although some drainage catch basins exist on Carlton Drive and Femwood Street and deteriorated bituminous curb is present along some seclion of the project streets. 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 10 Lake Josephine via an inlet located between Ingerson Court and Femwood 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. I
