Mr. Culver did not know if Ramsey County had a formal Complete Streets Policy. <br />Ramsey County has a newer initiate that has been embraced holistically throughout <br />the organization as far as access for all abilities. He did not know if Ramsey County <br />had aformal Complete Streets Policy. <br />Vice Chair Wozniak asked under the proposed drainage/utilities review section one <br />of the entries is drainage permits required and wondered if it should be stormwater <br />permits. He asked if there are drainage permits. <br />Mr. Freihammer stated there are drainage/stormwater permits. These are the same <br />thing. <br />Mr. Culver stated he liked the wording "environmental permits" because that gets <br />into the wetlands, stormwater and PDS versus just drainage or stormwater. <br />Member Kruse stated at the workshop he was at there were some really good <br />speakers and he wondered if staff could get someone to come in and give a little <br />talk to the Commission. <br />Motion <br />Member Kruse moved, Member Misra seconded, to recommend the City <br />Council adopt the Complete Streets Policy and forms as amended. <br />Ayes: 5 <br />Nays: 0 <br />Motion carried. <br />6. Public Works 2019 Work Plan <br />City Engineer Freihammer stated each year Public Works staff monitors and <br />evaluates the condition of City infrastructure for development of ongoing <br />maintenance and replacement needs plan. He reviewed the improvements <br />recommended for the 2019 construction season with the City with the Commission. <br />Chair Cihacek asked how delamination is going. <br />Mr. Culver stated it is still happening. The sweet spot is looking back fifteen to <br />seventeen years. As staff looks at the roads that were paved in 2003, 2004 <br />timeframe, the question is are those roads exhibiting delamination and he thought <br />the roads were. The question is when other roads are going to start showing <br />delamination. He stated eventually it will stop because the City has stopped seal <br />coating. Public Works is hoping that some of the newer pavement mixes the City <br />started to use in the early 2000's will not exhibit the delamination issue, but staff <br />has not seen that yet. <br />Chair Cihacek asked if there was any conversation with Metro Transit about <br />adjusting the bus routes to accommodate all of the road construction. <br />Page 7 of 10 <br />
