<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />I. Introduction <br /> <br />On January 26, 2004, the Arden Hills City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility <br />study for the construction of pedestrian improvements along County Road E, The general scope <br />of thc improvements includes widening of the pedestrian walk along the existing County Road E <br />bridge across Tmnk Highway 5 I and constmction of an at-grade sidewalk from the signalized <br />intersection east of the bridge to the interscction of County Road E and Old Highway 10. Exhibit <br />I shows the project location. <br /> <br />The County Road E right of way is owned and managed by Ramsey County Public Works. The <br />bridge over Tmnk Highway 51 is also owned by Ramsey County however, any modifIcations to <br />the bridge require review and approval hum the MnDOT Bridge Engineer. Arden Hills is <br />allowed to construct improvements within the right of way and to the bridge per the approval of <br />Ramsey County Public Works and MnDOT. We have discussed the project in general terms with <br />Ramsey County staff and anticipate that the proposed improvements will mcet their approval. <br /> <br />This report will evaluate the fcasibility of the proposcd improvements and is organized in three <br />general sections focused on the potential improvements, a summary of project costs and funding <br />and concludes with summary and recommended next steps for Council. Thc proposed bridge <br />improvements discussion includes three options for reconfiguring the existing bridge which <br />provide progressivcly greater widths for pedestrian movement. The sidewalk improvements <br />discussion includes options regarding width and matcrials of the sidewalk. The bridge <br />enhancements discussion details and illustrates a numbcr of potential design treatments which <br />could be incorporated into the project. The appendix includes detailed cost estimates for all of <br />the options discussed in the report. <br /> <br />-C~'.~I; <br /> <br /> <br />,,~,'.,., ..;c~~S( <br /> <br />--,;": ,,- <br /> <br />~-_'I,["'!lrtW~."C."- <br /> <br />..,; <br />.. en <br />, :==: <br />< <br /> <br />-:;: <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />\. <br />\ <br />o <br />ry.~ <br /> <br />co.
