3. Road Alignment Currently the road is aligned straight north -south with an 800 foot section of roadway that is aligned mostly east -west. There are two curves in the alignment that transition the roadway from north -south to east -west and then back to north -south. The first curve as you travel north from Larpenteur is an all way stop controlled intersection and therefore meets State Aid requirements. The second curve is near the trail entrance to Reservoir Woods and does not meet State Aid requirements based on posted speed limit (40 mph) as well as minimum design speed allowances (30 mph). City staff requested a variance to State Aid rules for this curve and was granted said variance given the following conditions: • Appropriate lighting is provided • As much as practicable, vegetation is cleared within the sight corner • Reflective delineation through the curve is considered • Signage in accordance with the Minnesota Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD) be provided Given this variance and the other proposed elements of the project no additional permanent right-of-way is required for this project. The particular elements of the proposed design are as follows: a. Victoria Streetfrom Larpenteur Ave to Roselawn Ave Staff is proposing to construct a 32 foot wide street with a rural design. The 32 foot wide street segment will include the following: An 8 foot shoulder on the east side for parking. Two 11 foot lanes A 2 foot shoulder on the west side b. Victoria Streetfrom Roselawn Ave to County Road B Staff is proposing to construct a 32 foot wide street with curb and gutter. The 32 foot wide street segment will include the following: An 8 foot shoulder on the east side for parking. Two 11 foot lanes A 2 foot shoulder on the west side B. Storm Water Concrete curb and gutter will be used to replace all existing bituminous curb and will also be installed in areas north of Roselawn Ave that does not currently have curb. Existing storm water catch basins and other infrastructure will be replaced with new castings to bring them up to City standards and also to work with the new concrete curb and gutter. Additional catch basins will be installed where needed. The boulevards and yards will be graded to drain to the street, where possible. Where this is not possible, catch basins will be extended into areas to capture water. Project P -ST -SW -15-02 Victoria Street Reconstruction 23 Feasibility Report
