- Existing and proposed street widths are shown on the table above, Three of the project streets have received no significant rehabilitation work since their original construction, Ingerson Road, Hamline A venue (south), Fernwood Street and Fernwood Court have received overlays within the past 14 years, None of the project streets currently has concrete curb and gutter. Some drainage catch basins exist on Carlton Drive and Fernwood Street and deteriorated bituminous curb exists in various places throughout the project area, Ingerson Road and adjacent yards west of Fernwood 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 Fernwood Court and Ingerson Court, The remainder of the neighborhood (including Tiller Lane and Dunlap Street) drains to a wetland located east of Hamline A venue between Ingerson Road and Tiller lane, Portions of Hamline Avenue 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, Three neighborhood informational meetings were held during the summer of 2002 to discuss the proposed improvements and collect resident feedback.

Proposed Roadway Improvements Overview Fernwood Court Discussion The following streets are proposed to be fully reconstructed with bituminous surfacing, concrete curb and gutter, aggregate base, sand subbase with draintile, Proposed street widths are as measured between face of new curbs and are in conformance with the functional street classifications adopted by the Council: Ingerson Road (28 foot width) Ingerson Court (24 foot width) Fernwood Street (28 foot width) Hamline Avenue (south) (28 foot width) Cannon A venue (28 foot width) Carlton Drive (28 foot width) The proposed roadway improvements are illustrated in exhibits 1,9, Fernwood Court currently has a PCI of 75 which is significantly higher than the other neighborhood streets and near the high end of the typical mill and overlay zone of PCI ratings, The street does not have concrete curb and gutter or the standard city pavement section and was overlayed in 1989, The cost to reconstruct Fernwood Court is estimated at $64,900,00 (with $32,450,00 being paid through assessments), Although an argument can be made to reconstruct the street based upon following a comprehensive neighborhood philosophy and thus to bring the street up to current standards with its neighboring streets, the City Engineer recommends that the street not be reconstructed or overlayed as a part of this project for the following reasons: 6
