Project P -ST -SW -W -13 -02 Feasibility Report Dale Street Reconstruc tion 5 INTRODUCTION On June 11 , 2012 , the Roseville City Council adopted Resolution No. 10987 ordering the preparation of a Feasibility Report for the reconstruction of County Road D between Lexington Avenue and Victoria Street . This report details that investi gation. In 1991, follow ing direction from the Minnesota Legislature, Ramsey County completed a study that reviewed the jurisdiction of all roadways within Ramsey County. Upon completion of this study, Ramsey County began a program whereby a number of roadways switched jurisdict ion between State, County and local municipalities. In 1996 , County Road D changed jurisdiction from Ramsey County to the Cit y of Roseville and the City of Shoreview County Road D is a border street. The ownership of this road is split at the centerline between the City of Shoreview and City of Roseville. It is in the best interests of the residents of each city to undertake the reconstruction project in a cooperative fashion. As with other County turnback roads, County Road D has been added to the Cit y’s Municipal State Aid system (MSA) and is eligible for funding through the City’s portion of state gas tax revenues. If MSA dollars are to be used, the roadway must be constructed in accordance with MSA roadway standards. When the roadway was under th e jurisdiction of Ramsey County , i t consistently ranked low among their priorities since the traffic volume is very small when compared to other County roads. For many years, this roadway only received minor maintenance. The pavements show signs of distr ess, such as transverse and longitudinal cracking, alligator cracking, and transverse cracking . There is evidence of previous maintenance, including patching and seal coating. The pavement surface shows signs of severe oxidation, as evidenced by the expos ed pavement aggregates. T he current Pavement Condition Index for this street segment is 60; this rating is considered marginal and is recommended for reconstruction. The proposed project involves : complete reconstruction of the street , t he construction of non - motorized transportation infrastructure consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan , and public utility improvements. Recommended public u tility improvements for the project include : the repair of selected sanitary manholes, and construction of s torm sewer infrastructure to address both water capacity and quality concerns. Due to the excessive watermain break history, City staff is recommending that all watermain pip es , valves, and hydrants within the corridor be removed and replaced. It is expe cted that if this improvement is approved, the work will start in the spring of 20 13 , with completion in fall 201 3 . The project was initiated by council/staff as part of our Pavement Management Program. As outlined by state law, projects initiated by coun cil/staff require a 4/5 vote by each individual City Council for approval.
