The City is <br />allowed to designate up to 20% of its total street mileage as State Aid routes. State Aid routes <br />need to provide connections between City streets or County Roads (no cui de sacs), If the City <br />does not designate the mileage lost from Fernwood Avenue, our State Aid annual disbursement <br />would drop by approximately $20,000, <br /> <br />The City Engineer and staff have identified two street segments be designated as State Aid <br />routes in place of the mileage lost from the removal ofFernwood Avenue. The first proposed <br />designation is the 0.25 mile segment of Dunlap Street between Red Fox Road and Grey Fox <br />Road, The second proposed 0.40 mile segment is Glenpaul Avenue between Cleveland Avenue <br />and New Brighton Road. Both of these roadway segments will likely be reconstructed in the next <br />10 years and therefore State Aid funds could help offset City costs for that work. The state aid <br />designation would not require the reconstruction of either of these streets to a higher standard <br />(width etc.) than current City policy recommends, <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />The City Engineer recommends that Council approve attached Resolution 02-66 designating <br />Dunlap Street between Red Fox Road and Grey Fox Road and Resolution 02-67 designating <br />Glenpaul Avenue as State Aid Routes, <br />
