INTRODUCTION On January 31, 2022, the Roseville City Council adopted Resolution No. 11878 ordering the preparation of a Feasibility Report for the reconstruction County Road B from its western terminus at Eustis to Cleveland Avenue, a total of 0.84 miles in length. This report details that investigation. County Road B was constructed in the 1950's and most recently resurfaced in 2007. Following the August 2007 collapse of the 1-35 W bridge over the Mississippi River, Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) took steps to aid in a more efficient operation of Trunk Highway (TH) 280 which included closing access from County Road B (then also known as County State Aid Highway 25). The removal of access to TH 280 made that segment of County Road B west of Cleveland Avenue and dead-end street and a non -conforming County State Aid Highway, and compelled Ramsey County to remove it from its County State Aid Highway system. County Road B from its western terminus to Cleveland Avenue was determined to serve a local function only. In August 2014, this segment of County Road B changed jurisdiction from Ramsey County to the City of Roseville. As with other County turnback roads, County Road B, from Cleveland to Fulham, was added to the City's Municipal State Aid system (MSA) in 2021 and is eligible for funding through the City's portion of state gas tax revenues. If MSA dollars are to be used, the roadway must be constructed in accordance with MSA roadway standards. The section of County Road B west of Fulham is not eligible for MSA and will remains a non-MSA city street. The proposed project includes full depth reconditioning of the street, the construction of non - motorized transportation infrastructure consistent with the City's Comprehensive and Pathway Master Plans, and public utility improvements. It is expected that if this improvement is approved, the work will start in the spring of 2024, with substantial completion in the fall of 2024. The project was initiated by council/staff as part of our Pavement Management Program. As outlined by state law, projects initiated by council/staff require a 4/5 vote by the City Council for approval. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT The public engagement process for this proposed project consisted of four neighborhood meetings in 2021-2023. Meeting notices were mailed in advance to all property owners and tenants in the area bound by Highway 26 to the north, Highway 280 to the west, Cleveland Avenue to the east and the Midland Hills Golf Course to the south. Materials shared at the meetings were also shared on the project webpage. Project 24-02 County Road B Reconstruction Feasibility Report Page 29 of 82
