At the December 8, 2008, City Council meeting, staff was asked to look <br />into street width design standards that had been established in 2001. The following lists the <br />recommended street widths for various street classifications. <br /> <br />Communitv Street: <br />Provide access to the residences, institutions and businesses on that street, providing a <br />route through the neighborhood or business district for residents of other neighborhoods. <br />(6.0 miles throughout City) <br />Street Width: Case Specific, (32 ft. minimum) <br /> <br />Neil!hborhood Street: <br />Provide access to residences on that street and provide a route through neighborhood for <br />residents on other streets. A large proportion of trips have neither an origin nor <br />destination on that street. (4.5 miles throughout City) <br />Street Width: 30 ft. minimum <br /> <br />Residential Street: <br />Primarily serve adjoining residents with little or no through traffic. Almost all trips have <br />either an origin or destination on that street. (18.5 miles throughout City). <br />Street Width: 28 ft. minimum <br /> <br />Special Cases: <br />Definition: Streets which do not fit into any of the three above descriptions and have a <br />very low usage, (1-3 residences), streets which provide secondary access (i.e. alleys) or <br />streets defined by extreme limitations due to narrow ROW, topography etc. (0.3 miles <br />throughout City) <br />Street Width: Case Specific <br /> <br />The streets in this neighborhood are considered residential streets. Staff is recommending 28' <br />street width throughout the neighborhood, excepting Snelling Frontage Road, which has homes <br />along one side of the street only, and areas where impacts to trees could be reduced by a <br />narrower street. <br /> <br />Utilitv Improvements <br /> <br />Watermain <br />No major water main repairs are proposed as a part of this project. There have been few water <br />main breaks in the area in last 10 years. It is anticipated that some gate valves and hydrants may <br />be identified as needing replacement during final design. <br /> <br />Sanitary Sewer <br />No major sanitary sewer improvements are proposed. A few segments of pipe will be replaced, <br />where lining or other trenchless technologies cannot be applied because of sags in the pipe. <br />Manholes with structural deficiencies will be rehabilitated in an effort to reduce inflow and <br />
