<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Page 3 <br />November 13,2002 <br /> <br />Lexilll!ton Avenue Improvements <br /> <br />Ramsey County is also preparing to reconstruct the portion of Lexington Avenue that extends <br />from Victoria Avenue in Shoreview to Highway 96. This is anticipated to be a 2004 project. <br />The Council will note the following: <br /> <br />· The road will be expanded from two lanes to four lanes in both directions. <br />· A signal will be installed at the intersection of Victoria and Lexington. This will be <br />coordinated with the signal at Cummings Park Drive (currently Guidant Drive North). <br />· In the past, residents from the Karth Lake neighborhood have indicated that they would <br />like a signal at Amble. The County has indicated that this intersections does not warrant <br />a signal. The County has indicated that they would provide turning lanes to Ambel. If <br />the City was interested in having a light in this area it would be entirely the City's <br />expense. This would cost approximately $300,000. <br />· There will be a nominal increase in the amoUnt of impervious surface in conjunction with <br />the reconstruction. Given the previously identified concerns with the Karth Lake water <br />level, this issue will require further attention and discussion as the project proceeds. <br />· The trail along Lexington in this area will be reconstructed at the County's expense. <br /> <br />Since the project has not been engineered at this point, there are no drawings attached for <br />reference. It is anticipated that a neighborhoo!f meeting will be held in the future once <br />preliminary engineering for the project has been completed. <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Provided for informational and discussion purposes <br />
