state. Construction would occur in 2018. This existing pond located near Oakcrest Ave, east of Fairview is an existing storm pond with a concrete ditch captures water from Rosedale Commons, and provides rate control during large rain events. Staff will be studying and designing plans to retrofit this pond to have an Iron Enhanced Sand Filter bench installed around the perimeter. This filter bench will provide similar rate control, but it will increase the removal of pollutants that degrade our local water resources. The addition of this project will help the City meet a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Long Lake. Construction would not occur in 2017 but at a later date. 4. Other Improvements Rail Road Crossing Upgrades: Staff will be working with Minnesota Commercial Railway to replace 5 railroad crossings in three locations on Terminal Rd and Walnut St. The existing railroad crossing of the roadway and pathway are in poor condition. In particular, the pathway crossings are in very poor condition creating a safety hazard. The project will consist of replacing the tracks in the roadway and pathway with a new concrete surface and new rails. Municipal State Aid funds will pay for the City portion of the costs. Twin Lakes East Collector: As an extension of the Twin Lakes Parkway improvements, the intersections of Terrace Ave and Lincoln Ave, and Lincoln Ave and C-2 will be evaluated to provide a better connection from Fairview Ave to Snelling Avenue. An additional left turn lane from east bound County Rd C-2 to Snelling will be provided as part of the project. Funding for the project is through TIF funding. Rosedale Signal Improvements: Staff will be working with a consultant to reconstruct the signal light on County Road B-2 and the southbound Snelling ramps. This upgrade to the intersection and the signal light was required as part of the Rosedale Mall expansion. The majority of the cost of this project will be funded by the Rosedale Mall. 5. Other Proiects Dale Street Parking Lot: Staff will be working on completely reconstructing the Dale Street parking lot. The lot is planned to have storm water features added and the lot configuration redesigned. Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan: Staff will continue to work with its consultant on the Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan (CSWMP) which is required to be updated as part of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff plans to submit the final version to the watersheds for final approval by August of 2017. Comprehensive Plan including Water Supply Plan, Sanitary Plan, and Transportation Plan: Staff will continue to complete the Water Supply Plan and Sanitary Sewer Plan updates to the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, staff will be hiring a consultant to assist with updating the Transportation Plan. One major aspect that we will look at addressing in this plan is updating the pathway master plan. MS4 Permit Updates: Staff will be working with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to address any changes that are need for our permit as the new permit renewal process begins.
