<br />The two maintenance projects scheduled for this year are: <br /> <br />On Fairview Avenue, from Larpenteur to County Road B, they <br />plan to recycle the pavement (remove it, grind it up and put it <br />back). The one improvement that will be made is the southbound <br />lane of Fairview at County Road B will be widened slightly. This <br />project will begin late May, early June. <br /> <br />Dale Street is a possible project this year to have the pavement <br />recycled: It is currently striped for four lanes, but they are <br />considering changing it to a threc lane road. The Commission <br />discussed various options. A public information meeting will most <br />likely be held to get resident input. <br /> <br />Soler then updated the Commission on County Road C. Phase one is <br />Snelling to Long Lake Road, which should be ready for reconstruction this <br />fall. The road will not be tom up this fall. <br /> <br />Member Wilke questioned whether people complained when Hwy 36 <br />breaks down that traffic is too heavy on County Roads B, B-2 and C and <br />wondered if considering that would change the plans for county road <br />upgrades. Soler stated that there are portions of County Road B that can <br />take extra traffic if necessary, and also that traffic counts on east-west <br />routes have been pretty steady for awhile. <br /> <br />Issues that need to be addressed are consolidating some of the commercial <br />driveways off ofC over the railroad tracks, and the Lexington intersection <br />needs to widened. <br /> <br />Member Wilke asked about the timetable. Soler said it has a sunset date <br />for letting at the end of September 2004. The project needs to be <br />developed this year. Phase one will be from the end of this year, finishing <br />in early 2005. Phase two will start late in 2004 and have construction in <br />2005. <br /> <br />The next step is that Soler will go before the City Council on May 12 to <br />update them on County Road C and get feedback, which will be followed <br />up with a public information meeting. <br /> <br />Terminal Road/St. Croix Street is another project for which the county has <br />funding. <br /> <br />Member Marasteanu asked if there were any plans for County Road B or <br />B2 east and west of Lexington, which he thinks is in bad condition. Soler <br />said he thought there was a plan to do mill and overlay on that section. <br />Bloom said it might be impacted depending on whether the state initiates a <br />Lexington Avenue Bridge reconstruction. <br /> <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
