Proceed with a 7.5 foot width sidewalk on the south side of the bridge at a cost of $346,000 and extend a 6 foot concrete sidewalk with 2 foot paver strip down to Old Highway 10 at a cost of$148,300.00. Total project cost estimatc is then S494,300. The funding for the sidewalk extension would be MSA eligible. If the improvements occur on the north side, there will be a driveway conflict at 3609 Pascal. Attached is a figure showing the existing conditions (attachment 9), as well as a possible solution to the conflict. The new sidewalk would impact the parking and turnaround area available on the property owner's driveway. The proposed option introduccs a horseshoe driveway with an additional tum around area west of the garage. . Thc bridge is not cunently scheduled for rchabilitation or reconstruction by either Ramsey County or MnDOT. The bridge is listed as bccoming eligible for funding in 2009, but according to Dan Soler of Ramsey County, just because projects are listed docs not mean that they will actually be completed. Ramsey County has indicated that they currently have no limding available. If the County were to apply for federal funds for this project, the earliest they would receive any is 201 l. If MnlDOT or Ramsey County do schedule improvements to the bridge at some point in the future, the improvements constructed by the City would bc replaced in kind. Future bridge reconstruction would be funded by Ramsey County and MnDOT with no expectation of funding participation from the City.
