. ~ EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: January 25, 2007 AGENDA ITEM 7.E TO: Mayor and City Council Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator Kristine Giga, Civil Engineer ~ FROM: SUBJECT: Order Feasibility Report for Asbury Avenue and Ridgewood Road from City limits to Glenhill Road BACKGROUND The City of Arden Hills has received a request from the City of Roseville regarding its next area for street reconstruction, the Asbury Avenue! Ridgewood Road neighborhood (Roseville's "Neighborhood 10"). City limits are midblock; some properties are even divided by the border. Roseville would like us to consider the option of extending their project up to Glenhill Road, which would include approximately 300 feet of Asbury A venue and 400 feet of Ridge wood Road located within Arden Hills. A letter with this request is attached. DISCUSSION While the Arden Hills segments of Asbury Avenue and Ridgewood Road are in better condition than the Roseville segments, and there are streets in worse condition in the City, there are advantages to extending this project to include the entire block. · The residents along the block would only be inconvenienced once for the reconstruction of their street, rather than twice, if projects are completed by each City at different times. . Residents from both cities would be able to meet and be involved in decisions that would affect the entire street. . A more comprehensive storm sewer design could be achieved, since part of the street in Roseville drains north into Arden Hills. . Given the close proximity of this neighborhood to the proposed 2008 PMP, this would be another good candidate for combining projects in an effort to reduce construction costs by creating a more lucrative project for contractors. \\Metro-inet.us\ardenhills\PR&PW\Engineering\2007\Council_ Actions\ I -29-07_ Memo _ OrderFR _ RVN I OExtension.doc
