City Council Regular Meeting - 02/13/06 Minutes - Page 17 Reconstruction projects proposed included South Owasso Boulevard (from Dale to Rice Street); Roselawn Avenue (from Snelling to Hamline Avenue); Lovell Street (Chatsworth Street to the cul-de-sac); Chatsworth Street (form Grandview to Lovell); and Terminal Road (from St. Croix to Walnut Street). Pathway and Parkin!! Lot Rehabilitation Mr. Schwartz reviewed proposed pathway and/or parking lot rehabilitation projects, including the County Road C pathway (from Oxford to Victoria Street); Langton Lake pathway; Lexington Avenue Pathway (from County Road D to County Road C-2); Villa Park parking lot; and overlaying of a portion of the Public Works maintenance yard. Intera!!ency Participation Mr. Schwartz reviewed proposed interagency projects, including County Road C (from Snelling Service Drive to Oxford Street); the Cleveland Avenue and County Road B intersection; a thin overlay of County Road D (from Cleveland to Fairview Avenue); and a thin overlay of County Road B (from Cleveland Avenue to Highway 280). Mr. Schwartz noted that earlier today, Ramsey County had opened the bids on the Highway 280 project, and they were excessively higher than the engineer's estimates; necessitating consideration of other options. Discussion included projected closing of the access at Highway 280; pedestrian improvements; potential turnback of Cleveland Avenue and needed reconstruction; James Addition status and future, including possible grant funding applications; and proposed major water connection impacting reconstruction of Roselawn Avenue. Mr. Schwartz reviewed the specific funding sources and cost estimates for each location and project; at an estimated total cost of $4,130,282.30. Mr. Schwartz noted that increases in bids were anticipated due to rising energy costs; but sought Council authorization to prepare plans and specifications for at least a portion of the projects outlined.
