Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: September 23, 2014 Item No: 4 Item Description: Communication Items Projects update: • 2014 PMP- We are nearing completion of this project. The remaining work includes paving Dellwood, some backyard drainage improvements near Dellwood and Sherren, and directionally boring a new water main along Rice Street to complete a link near Lake McCarrons. All work will be complete by the end of October. • County Road B2 Sidewalk Construction — Last week the contractor poured concrete up to Western Ave. The contractor expects to have the sidewalk poured up to Rice Street by the first week of October, including the section along Victoria St. Restoration work is ongoing. The project will be complete by the end of October. • Snelling Ave Bus Rapid Transit: Final plans for this project are still under development. Staff will see 90% plans by the first week of October. All of the stations will be under construction in 2015 with the BRT service stating in late 2015. Staff was recently notified that given current cost projections, Metro Transit has made the decision to drop the Roselawn station from any further design stages. We were informed that the Roselawn station was being "deferred" but the design was continuing in case project costs allowed for the inclusion of the station. We now know that will not be a possibility. Staff will continue to work with Metro Transit in the future to lobby for the construction of the Roselawn station in a future phase of the BRT line.

That meeting will be held at 7 PM on Thursday, October 9d' in Rose Room in the Oval Skating Center. The City's water tower painting is complete.
