Since that time, the City has allowed the AUAR to expire, but the overall infrastructure plan that was approved in the AUAR has been implemented in phases. As an example, Phase I of the Twin Lakes Parkway project was installed in 2009 with Phase II following in 2010. Additional improvements were made as part of the Walmart development in 2013. To date, the improvements have followed the alignment of the roadway as recommended in the Twin Lakes Business Park AUAR. The City has also invested significant resources into securing right-of-way for the future extension of Twin Lakes Parkway. At this point, with the possible exception of some temporary easements that may be needed for actual construction, the City now controls the right-of-way for the final extension of Twin Lakes Parkway to Fairview Avenue. � At their March 2, 2015 meeting, the City Council voted to award a design services contract to SRF Consulting Group for the final design of the extension of Twin Lakes Parkway from Prior � Ave to Fairview Ave. The preparation of plans has been ongoing since that time. Attached is a layout of the proposed roadway extension along with the display boards that were presented to the public at a recent Open House to detail some of the specific design elements. On July 30, 2015, an Open House was held in the City Council chambers to present the layout of the proposed extension, take input on the streetscape elements of the project and answer any questions residents or business owners may have about the project. About 20 people attended the meeting and four formal comments were received. The comments are attached. One comment was focused on the potential Wheeler Street closure at Wheeler St and County Road D, the other three written comments were in support of the roadway extension. Several of the attendees did express continued concern over traffic impacts on Fairview Ave and the residential area north of the Twin Lakes Parkway and Fairview Ave intersection. Also there was concern regarding potential environmental impacts to Langton Lake Park, the stormwater ponds and the wetland areas around the project area adjacent to and within Langton Lake Park. The overall feedback on the proposed streetscape elements favored continuing the bands of stamped and colored concrete along the curb lines, medians and within the concrete pathway. An extension of the in place pedestrian level lighting was also favored. Page 1 of 2
