Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 14, 2019 Page 4 Mr. Freihammer continued discussing other agency projects in Roseville in 2019 with the City Council. Councilmember Etten stated one of the routes that is looked at as a potential re- liever route from 35W is Lexington and he noticed the County has work planned for Lexington Avenue starting at C2 and going north. He wondered about the timing for that, and if there was any discussion around that process, and how it connects with 35W. Mr. Freihammer stated the County is aware of 35W and until a week ago, were planning to work on Lexington Avenue all the way down to Highway 36, but the County pulled a segment of that out. The County will work on Lexington this summer and is going all the way to County Road E. The City has communicated that the construction should not be done anywhere near Rosefest, but the City has not heard what the exact date of that will be. That is a part of the County's over- all maintenance project along with a bunch of other mill and overlays and will hopefully only be a week or two long projects. Councilmember Laliberte stated there were a lot of comments regarding how well it was marked and coned during last year's Lexington project. Mayor Roe asked if the proposed section of Lexington Avenue has three lanes with a center turn. Mr. Freihammer stated everything there is a three-lane section and should be able to keep two lanes of traffic open during construction of that roadway. Councilmember Groff stated he was glad that work was being done to improve the roadways in the City. Mayor Roe asked in terms of the programming done since 2015 where sealcoating has been eliminated and more mill and overlays have been done, does staff feel it is getting to a point of catching up, where the City needs to be, or is that still sev- eral years out or more. Mr. Freihammer thought the City was still a couple years out, but the peak was hit last year. Groff moved, Etten seconded, approving the Public Works 2019 Work Plan for street and utility improvements. Council Discussion Councilmember Groff stated he was impressed with the amount of work that goes on.
