Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: October 28, 2014 Item No: 4 Item Description: Communication Items Projects update: • 2014 PMP- We are nearing completion of this project. The remaining work includes paving the final layer of pavement on 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 — We are proud to report all of the concrete has been poured along this project. There may be some spot repairs to do yet, but the majority of the remaining work now includes restoration work and roadway patching. With the exception of minor punch list items, the project should be complete by the end of October. The City has already received several positive comments from residents about the new sidewalk. • Snelling Ave Bus Rapid Transit: This project is still on schedule for a 2015 construction timeline with actual bus operations beginning in the end of 2015. On a related note, staff is starting to work with Metro Transit on a project to study the extension of the BRT line north of Rosedale. More information will be available on this in early 2015. • Victoria Street Reconstruction and Sidewalk Project: Staff is starting preliminary work on next year's reconstruct project along Victoria Street south of County Road B. This project will involve complete reconstruction of the roadway, curb and gutter installation at various points, storm water improvements, as well as a new pathway. The pathway will extend north and tie into the new sidewalk at County Road B2. The City is working with the County and their expected mill and overlay project on Victoria north of County Road B to possibly narrow the roadway to make room for the sidewalk on the east side of the roadway. On October 7t' staff met with about 20 residents that live along Victoria Street to review the preliminary details of the project and answer any questions the residents had at this point. We will meet with the neighborhood again this winter when the plans are further along. • An update on upcoming Mn/DOT projects will be presented to the PWETC as a separate item during this meeting, including more details on the replacement of the TH 36 bridge over Lexington Ave. Maintenance Activity: • Street maintenance staff is performing fall mowing of boulevards and preparing streetscape areas for winter. • Final seasonal street maintenance activities continue with general patching operations and curb and sidewalk repairs.
