<br />Project P -ST -SW -W -13 -02 Feasibility Report <br />County Road D Reconstruction <br />19 <br />• No one will use it. <br />• Snow removal for the sidewalk will create a hump at the sidewalk. This is in <br />addition to the hump created when the street is plowed. <br />• It will depreciate the value of their property . <br />• The sidewalk will encroach into the yard. <br />b. Recommendation <br />Staff recommend s that a 6 f oo t wide sidewalk with a 5 foot wide grass boulevard <br />sidewalk be constructed on the south side of the road. <br />One tree and one shrub are proposed to be removed to construct this sidewalk. The <br />City will coordinate replacements with property owners. <br />There is adequate right of way t o construct the sidewalk without needing to obtain <br />additional easement. <br />Constructing a sidewalk along the south side of County Road D is consistent with the <br />goals and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Pathway Master Plan. <br />The City has over 50 miles of off street pathways in the street right of way adjacent <br />to residential properties. Sidewalks consistently make a roadway corridor safer for <br />pedestrian and bicyclists. Feedback received from many Roseville residents indicate <br />that a good pathway system is seen as a benefit to their homes and to the entire <br />City. <br />2. Parking <br />The residents expressed an interest to maintain on street parking, but do not feel that <br />parking on both sides of the street for the entire length of County Road D is necessary. <br />County Road D is proposed to be reconstructed to 33 feet wide from Lexington Avenue <br />to Hafner Court . MSA standards do not allow parking on both sides of 2 lane roads <br />narrower than 38 feet. Parking will be permitted on the north side and “no parking” <br />signs will be posted on the south side of the street. To accommodate this, there will be <br />a wide (8 foot) shared parking/ bike lane on the north side of the street. <br />The street will be widened to 40 feet between Hafner Court and Victoria Street, as a <br />result pa rking will be allowed on both sides in this segment. <br />The proposed parking restrictions have been discussed with residents during project <br />development. <br />3. Road Alignment <br />Currently the road is aligned straight east -west . No additional right - of - way will be <br />needed for this project as proposed. <br />a. Lexington Avenue to Hafner Court, <br />S taff is proposi ng to construct a 3 3 foot wide street . The 3 3 foot wide street segment <br />will include the following: <br />• A right turn lane at Lexington Avenue .
