I I I I Ii I I -- I I I I I I I SUMMARY The Ingerson Road neighborhood street pavements are in generally fair to poor condition with a few exceptions. Several areas in the neighborhood experience streel and yard flooding on a regular basis and none of the neighborhood storm water runoff receives water quality treatment prior to entering Lake Josephine or area wetlands. The streets identified in this report also lack concrete curb and gutter and have substandard sections/construction which results in faster deterioration. Three of the streets identified for improvement in this report have not had major rehabilitation work done to them since the initial construction occurred in the late 1950's and early 1960's. The 1999 Arden Hills Comprehensive Street Condition Assessment Report has ranked the neighborhood at the top of the priority list for reconstruction for the reasons stated above. The scope of work necessary to bring the entire neighborhood up to par relative to street condition, standard widths, drainage and water quality criteria is quite large. The Council must evaluate the relative importance of the proposed improvements with the associated cost and funding sources. Projecl costs, as illustrated herein, are reasonable and representative of the proposed scope of improvements. Any draw down of the City State Aid account in 2001 will have repercussions on future use of State Aid funds specifically for the planned improvements to West Round Lake Road in 2002. The City's Stale Aid account is replenished at the rale of approximately $200,000.00 per year from MnDOT. The improvements outlined above are feasible and constuctable assuming Ihe proposed assessment rate is acceptable to the Council and that the Council approves of utilizing the Storm Water Utility Fund for the City's share of storm sewer and ponding costs not recovered through State Aid funds and the potential grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District. 11
