Chair Stenlund questioned the purpose and design of the Lexington Park hockey <br />rink or stormwater moat, located diagonally across from SuperAmerica at <br />Lexington and County Road B. <br />Mr. Culver advised that he would check into the situation and report back. <br />Member Seigler questioned the schedule for streets to be torn up on Roselawn <br />Avenue. <br />Mr. Culver responded that it was intended to begin pavement milling next week, <br />with shorter Pavement Management Program (PMP) segments begun first, with <br />Roselawn Avenue anticipated in mid-June, including replacement of the water <br />main. <br />At the request of Member Seigler, Mr. Culver confirmed that installing pedestrian <br />ramps and handicapped curbs at corners was a continual effort throughout the <br />City, and with the Cleveland Avenue and Dale Street intersections they would be <br />coordinated with the mill and overlay project by Ramsey County, as well as <br />others involved in other PMP projects around the community. <br />Chair Stenlund asked Mr. Culver to provide a summary of the recent City Council <br />approval for purchase of additional land for the Victoria Street wetland and <br />stormwater mitigation efforts. <br />Mr. Culver advised that, while still in final negotiations to purchase the entire <br />parcel, the Watershed District grant would make up the difference in cost between <br />the needed easement portion of the parcel, and full purchase price for the parcel. <br />Mr. Culver noted this additional land would provide additional open space and a <br />wetland buffer in perpetuity. <br />Chair Stenlund expressed his personal appreciation of that outcome. <br />Chair Stenlund asked Mr. Culver to explain how residents were or could be <br />notified of normal city construction versus those of Ramsey County when <br />immediately affecting their neighborhoods. <br />Mr. Culver admitted that the City of Roseville's written communication efforts, <br />open houses and/or information meetings for neighborhoods affected by <br />construction set the bar high for other agency projects. Mr. Culver noted that <br />Ramsey County did not have as extensive of a notification project as the City tries <br />to maintain; and usually consists of signage a few weeks prior to a project, and if <br />it involved only utility work, there may be no notice given at all. Mr. Culver <br />noted the difficulty in managing a project when primarily consisting of utility <br />work, given the number of outside vendors performing the work.
