outlet off of Cohansey St on the east end of Central Park. The outlet is failing and in need of repair. • The Walsh Pond Lift Station located in Midland Hills will be replaced. The lift station was built in 1973. The project has been bid and should be constructed by May 2018. • Staff will be working with Rice Creek Watershed District to install an Iron Enhanced Sand filter adjacent to Oasis Pond. Clean Water Land and Legacy money ($340,000) was awarded to the District by the State. • 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 2018 but at a later date. • Staff is currently studying the Fairview Trunk Storm Sewer System. This storm sewer is currently overcapacity given its drainage area and 1960's design standards. • Staff will design an underground storage and reuse project to be located along the Fairview Trunk System, south of County Road B. The project will capture water from the trunk line and allow for storage and help alleviate local drainage and flooding issues. The stored water will also be available to use for irrigation at Evergreen Park, or will be drained back into the system when capacity is available. The project design will start after the analysis of the Fairview Trunk line is complete. The City received $300,000 in State Grant Funds from the Met Council, and will also work with the Rice Creek Watershed District on the proj ect. • Staff will work on maintaining Ditch 2 from the St Croix Lift Station to County Road D. Maintenance will include tree and brush removal. Staff will then follow up to review the ditch profile to ensure it is flowing as intended, and that it can adequately handle the volume and rate from the lift station. 4. Other Improvements Rail Road Crossing Upgrades: Staff will be working with Minnesota Commercial Railway to replace two railroad crossings. One on Long Lake Road and the other on County Road C2. The existing railroad crossing of the roadways are in poor condition. The project will consist of replacing the tracks in the roadway 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.
