the Pathway Master Plan recommendations as a basis. If a pathway is ultimately attached to the project, Ms. Bloom advised that approval from the Rice Creek Watershed District would be required, as it would change the buffer strip configuration for a 5' boulevard. Ms. Bloom then reviewed proposed utility work as part of the reconstruction project, including water main, noting that there was an interconnect between Shoreview and Roseville systems, with water main facilities along both respective sides of the County Road D. Ms. Bloom addressed proposed construction for the water mains, seeking to facilitate school schedules, summer schools, bus routes, and how and when to provide temporary water services to those affected. Ms. Bloom advised that attempts were underway to plan a condensed construction period with applicable deadlines for contractors to facilitate as little interruption and disruption as possible. Chair Vanderwall, as School District 623 Transportation Manager, advised that summer school began on June 25, 2011; however, communication was needed between the school district and city to ensure coordination between the end of this year's regular session on June 9, 2012, and summer school's start, suggested that rescheduling may be possible.

Ms. Bloom advised that there was also a twenty-five (25) unit apartment building along County Road D, requiring additional conversation related to temporary water service. Ms. Bloom noted that, given these considerations, the water main project would require a tight schedule; and she didn't want a repeat of issues that had arisen for both cities during the 2012 construction season with water main work significantly delaying projects. Regarding the storm sewer utility work, Ms. Bloom and Mr. Schwartz advised that consideration was being given to lining versus digging, but overall management of that replacement was still in discussion stages. While two (2) property owners had expressed interest in rain gardens, Ms. Bloom expressed hope in finding more interest, with staff internally discussing infiltration requirements, since both underground and above ground storage being required by the Rice Creek Watershed District. Ms. Bloom advised that the City had Page 9 of 17
