Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: January 27, 2015 Item No: 9 Item Description: Victoria Street Reconstruction Plan Review Background: Victoria Street from Larpenteur Ave to County Road B is scheduled for reconstruction in 2015. This roadway segment has been on the City's CIP for the past several years and is now at a point where pavement conditions warrant the reconstruction and funding is available. Victoria Street was historically a Ramsey County facility, but in 1991 Ramsey County turned over jurisdiction of the roadway to the City of Roseville. The roadway is designated as a Municipal State Aid Street and therefore is eligible for State Aid funding. Also, as this is a full reconstruction of the roadway, a portion of the project costs will be assessed to the benefiting properties. The project will involve the full depth replacement of the pavement and the replacement of any bituminous curb with new concrete curb and gutter. The project will also install a new pathway along the east side of Victoria Street. The pathway, proposed to be a 8 foot bituminous path between Larpenteur and Roselawn and a 6 foot sidewalk north of Roselawn, will extend beyond the roadway reconstruct project area and connect with the new sidewalk at County Road 132. The portion from County Road B to County Road 132 will be funded with Park Renewal funds. In the area north of Roselawn Ave, over 75% of the total roadway length has in place bituminous curb and gutter. Therefore, in order to meet State Aid standards, this section will be designed as an urban section with full curb and gutter, filling the existing gaps. We are currently working with the Capital Region Watershed District and the Minnesota Department of Transportation State Aid office to determine if ribbon curb can be used along the wetland section of this area. The roadway will maintain its current width of 32 feet wide and will allow parking on the east side of the roadway. South of Roselawn Ave the City will maintain the rural section and not install curb and gutter (there is some bituminous curb that will need to be replaced leading up to Roselawn Ave). This will still meet State Aid standards. The roadway will maintain the 32 foot width here and will have parking on the east side only. Attached is the Feasibility Report for this project which provides more detail on the proposed construction project as well as proposed assessments for the benefiting properties. Recommended Action: Receive a presentation on the Victoria Street Reconstruction Project. Attachments: A: Feasibility Report
