Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: November 22, 2005 Item No: 6 Item Description: Discussion of City Project No. 06-02 Roselawn Avenue Reconstmction Background: The Cities of Roseville and Falcon Heights are working on plans to reconstruct Roselawn Avenue between Snelling and Hamline. In the last 6 months, city staff has held four different public information meetings with residents living on Roselawn Avenue. The first meeting was on June 21 where we discussed with them the proposed reconstruction and received input regarding what they saw as concerns along the corridor. Among these were: Street design/ parking, pedestrian safety, drainage, traffic, street lights, and undergrounding power lines. The second meeting was on September 15, where we presented to the residents a proposed street design. This design was a 6 foot wide sidewalk along the south side of the street along with a parking lane along the north side of the street. On October 22, we had a "walk thru" meeting with the neighborhood on site. This meeting started at the intersection of Snelling and Roselawn and continued east toward Hamline Avenue. It was a meeting in motion. The surveyors marked the limits for the reconstruction project, so as we walked through the project area, staff was able to meet with each resident individually to discuss the project and show them how it would impact the road in front of their home. Our final information meeting was on November 16. At this meeting we presented the cost information for the proposed project. This included proposed assessments. We also made a change to the sidewalk design. In the interest of addressing concerns regarding the proximity of the sidewalk to the house, we are proposing to constmct an 8- foot wide attached concrete sidewalk, instead of the 6- foot wide detached sidewalk. The City council will receive the final feasibility report at their December 5 council meeting. The public hearing for the Roseville residents is scheduled for January 9, 2006. We have attached a portion of the draft feasibility report for your information. Recommended Action: Discussion of the Roselawn Avenue project.
