PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The public involvement process for this proposed project consisted of two neighborhood meetings in 2014. Meeting notices were sent out at least two weeks in advance to all property owners abutting the street to be reconstructed. The first meeting was held at 7:00 p. m. on October 9, at the Roseville Skating Center, where staff presented information regarding the proposed reconstruction project, construction process and assessment policy. Residents provided input regarding neighborhood concerns along the corridor. Among these were: street design (rural vs. urban), parking, drainage, traffic, and mailbox locations The second meeting was on December 22, at 6:00 p. m., at the Roseville City Hall, where staff showed the residents a proposed street design. South of Roselawn Ave the proposed design included a 32 foot wide, rural design with ditches, parking on one side of the roadway and a pathway also on the east side of the road. At this meeting staff showed an eight (8) foot bituminous path from Larpenteur to the existing path along Roselawn Ave. However, staff may recommend constructing a six (6) foot concrete sidewalk as more detailed design takes place in order to reduce impacts to Roselawn Cemetery including temporary easements. North of Roselawn Ave, the proposed design included a 32 foot wide, urban design with concrete curb and gutter, parking on one side of the roadway and a six (6) foot concrete sidewalk on the east side of the roadway. Staff did consider looking at designs that would minimize the use of curb and gutter, however, given that about 75% of the north segment already has bituminous curb, and in order to meet State Aid standards for funding, it was determined that installing curb and gutter along the north segment was the best alternative for this project. Additionally, at the December 22 meeting, some drainage issues were communicated by the residents along the east/west portion of Victoria Street. After investigating the concerns and in place infrastructure, it was determined that using curb and gutter in this area with new storm sewer designed to provide underground storage and infiltration will help alleviate the concerns as well as allow us to meet our storm water mitigation requirements from the Capital Region Watershed District. At the December 22, 2014 meeting staff also reviewed the estimated project costs and estimated assessments for the benefiting properties.
