I ~ ~HILLS Ingerson Neighborhood Q&A Pavement Management Meeting (pMP) July 18,2002; 7:00 p.m. Page 3 of8 Comment: If Hamline Avenue is closed between Ingerson and Tiller, how much traffic volume would be added? It is expected the volume would be 250 vehicles. Comment: Would the City pay for landscaping of any developed rain gardens? Yes. Comment: Aren't ribbon curbs prohibited under the PMP policy? There was talk about the possibility of putting in ribbon curbs on Hamline. In a case where rain gardens can be developed, the option of a ribbon curb would be acceptable. Comment: Are Fernwood and Ingerson Court going to be curbed? The current proposal is to curb these areas. Comment: The last proposal, the Council stated no work would be done until residents came to a firm agreement. Why are we proceeding agoin with this project when it is not being done in conformity with the last meeting. Councilmember Larson stated this was not his position on the issue last time and indicated no formal resolution or action was passed in the past with regard to this project. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that prior to this evening, the City used the street by street approach to street maintenance rather than a neighborhood approach. Therefore, streets will done first based on a worse case scenario. The reason we are revisiting this issue is the engineering consultant to the City was asked by the City to rate the roads and tell us what area was a foremost priority. The City also has a fiduciary responsible to fix roads and spend money wisely. We have not had a project in two years. We are simply taking another look at it and discussing it's possibilities at this point. There is no firm decision to go ahead with this project. Comment: Why doesn't the City saves it's money like we did for the City Hall building rather than feeling the need to spend it right now? If we wait to do this project, we may not have enough resources to complete the project because it will be such a massive project by that point. Comment: If ribbon curbs are acceptable on Hamline then why are they not acceptable on Ingerson? If rain gardens are used then they will be acceptable, It is also a possibility for surmountable curbs.
