We are also evaluating sanitary, water and storm sewer replacement needs in our pavement replacement areas as well as utility infrastructure needs in County and State project areas. Those replacements are being identified from recent utility inspections and adjustments to the plan will be communicated to the Commission and City Council at a later date. To date City staff has identified approximately $100,000 in watermain replacements (near Midland Hills CC) and system extensions (Fairview and County Road C). 3. Storm Sewer system improvements: The City received a Clean Water Fund grant ($359,100) for a drainage improvement project (underground stormwater storage chamber and re -use) at Evergreen Park. This will help mitigate flooding issues along the Fairview Avenue corridor, one of the city's drainage problem areas. The City is also working with the Capitol Region Watershed District on a joint project at Upper Villa Ballfields (B -Dale Club). This facility will also be an underground storage and reuse facility. City staff is also recommending the rehabilitation of the St. Croix Storm Sewer lift station at a cost of approximately $400,000. Staff continues to analyze the existing drainage systems and localized flooding issues and is identifying mitigation projects. Staff is now working on developing a 2015 drainage improvement project to alleviate some of these infrastructure and flooding concerns. Staff has already identified several projects for 2015 that will cost approximately $400,000. 4. Seal Coat: Pavement maintenance policies support an annual seal coat program of approximately 11-13 miles of city streets each year. This consists of applying athin film of bituminous oil and covering it with fine aggregate. These treatments have proven to add a minimum of 10 years to the life of the pavement. The 2015 program is constrained due to budget limitations. The City has budgeted approximately $225,000 for the 2015 seal coat program. 5. Pathways : As mentioned above City staff is working on installing a pathway along Victoria Street from Larpenteur Ave to County Road B2. The majority of this section will be a 6 foot sidewalk but staff is analyzing the area south of County Road B to determine where a bituminous pathway may be installed to allow for a better multi -use facility. Space constraints, particularly wetland impacts, will be the key factor in this decision. 6. 35W Interchange at Cleveland Ave: The City of Roseville received a federal grant for the reconstruction of the interchange at the 35W northbound ramps and Cleveland Ave. This is also the intersection where Twin Lakes Parkway meets Cleveland Ave. The project will provide a dual left turn lane for northbound Cleveland entering 35W and align the ramps with the new Twin Lakes Parkway approach. Design is currently underway with construction anticipated in 2015. The current estimated cost of this project, including design and storm water improvements, is approximately $L£ million dollars. This will be funded with $1.2 million dollars in federal funds with the remaining balance funded with storm water and Tax Increment Financing funds. 7. Twin Lakes Parkwav Extension: With the likelihood of additional development in the Twin Lakes area, staff is anticipating the need to extend Twin Lakes Parkway from its current terminus at Prior Ave to Fairview Ave. The estimated cost of this project, including design, is approximately $3.5 million dollars. Additional utility and storm water needs could increase that cost. Funding for this project will need to be addresses at the City Council level
