INTRODUCTION On October 27, 2014, the Roseville City Council adopted Resolution No. 11184 ordering the preparation of a Feasibility Report for the reconstruction of Victoria Street between Larpenteur Avenue and County Road B. This report details that investigation In 1991, following direction from the Minnesota Legislature, Ramsey County completed a study that reviewed the jurisdiction of all roadways within Ramsey County. Upon completion of this study, Ramsey County began a program whereby a number of roadways switched jurisdiction between State, County and local municipalities. In 1996, Victoria Street changed jurisdiction from Ramsey County to the City of Roseville. As with other County turnback roads, Victoria Street has been added to the City's Municipal State Aid system (MSA) and is eligible for funding through the City's portion of state gas tax revenues. If MSA dollars are to be used, the roadway must be constructed in accordance with MSA roadway standards. When the roadway was under the jurisdiction of Ramsey County, it consistently ranked low among their priorities since the traffic volume is relatively small when compared to other County roads. For many years, this roadway only received minor maintenance. The pavements show signs of distress, such as transverse and longitudinal cracking, and alligator cracking. There is evidence of previous and ongoing maintenance, including patching and seal coating. The pavement surface shows signs of severe oxidation, as evidenced by the exposed pavement aggregates. The current average Pavement Condition Index for this roadway is 48; this rating is considered marginal and is recommended for reconstruction. The proposed project involves: complete reconstruction of the street, the construction of non - motorized transportation infrastructure consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and public utility improvements. Recommended public utility improvements for the project include: the repair of selected sanitary manholes, and construction of storm sewer infrastructure to address both water capacity and quality concerns. There will be some minor water main infrastructure maintenance such as replacing hydrants and rebuilding valves as necessary. It is expected that if this improvement is approved, the work will start in the spring of 2015, with completion in fall 2015. The project was initiated by council/staff as part of our Pavement Management Program. As outlined by state law, projects initiated by council/staff require a 4/5 vote by the City Council for approval. Project P -ST -SW -W-15-02 Feasibility Report Victoria Street Reconstruction
