WATER MAIN It is proposed to extend an 8" diameter PVC water main along the east side of Centerville Road from an existing 8" pipe on Westview Street (adjacent to Centerville Elementary School) to another 8" main south of Heritage Street (adjacent to Chauncey Barett Gardens). Valves would be installed at the intersections of Main Street, Sorel Street and Heritage Street, as shown on Figure 2 at the back of the report. For necessary fire protection, hydrants are shown at Main Street and Sorel Street. Water service lines would be extended to the property line for each residential and commercial building along the route. Tee and lateral lines will be stubbed out at intersections for future water main extension. Centerville Road is owned and maintained by Anoka County Highway Department (C.S.A.H. 21) from Main Street to the south. The County has indicated that open cutting of the water main will not be allowed if the pipe is below the street section. It is proposed, therefore, to directional bore the 8" PVC from Main Street to Heritage Street. Several small holes will need to be dug to connect service lines to the main. Services that run beneath the street pavement will also be directionally bored. The holes will be patched and half the road milled/overlaid when construction is complete. Water main north of Main Street and south of Heritage Street will be installed by open cut method. STREET IMPROVEMENTS Currently, Centerville Road is a 40 -foot wide paved surface with concrete curb and gutter from Main Street to Heritage Street. Parking is allowed on both sides of the street. The road is not proposed to be widened or reconstructed, just repaired from water main construction. The boulevard areas, though, are proposed to be redone as suggested by the Design Team. The existing 4 -foot wide concrete walks would be removed and replaced with colored concrete, paver bricks, or combination of the two. New streetscape features would be installed on the west side of the road from Sorel to Heritage, as shown on Figures 3 & 4. Pedestrian curb ramps would be installed at all corners with new walks. Crosswalks will be considered at the four -way stop intersection of Centerville Road and Main Street, depending on Anoka County approval. The Minnesota Design Team theme also included period street lighting between Main Street and Heritage Street. Several light pole designs are shown at the back of the report. Benches, planters, trees, and other amenities can also be utilized within the downtown district to initiate an "Old West" look in this first phase of redevelopment. An example of a possible streetscape layout along one block of downtown is shown on Figure 4. Two 11x17 colored drawings at the back of the report show existing conditions and possible streetscape elements that could be incorporated in downtown Centerville. 2
