City of Roseville -City Council Minutes for June 21, 2004 <br />3. Meet with Federal Aid at MnDOT to discuss schedule and <br />project scopes. <br />Ms. Bloom reviewed the three scenarios reviewed with the <br />agencies: <br />Ramsey County's rebuilding of County Road B-2 to <br />correct drainage and deterioration issues; <br />City rebuilding County Road B-2 to the County's <br />standards at a width of 38'; <br />County turnback of County Road B-2 to the City; with the <br />City rebuilding the roadway to City standards, allowing <br />fora 32'-34' roadway, including concrete curb and gutter, <br />as well as drainage improvements. <br />Ms. Bloom noted that in all of the above-referenced scenarios, <br />Ramsey County was not able to definitively commit to a funding <br />level, but it was anticipated at between $300,000 - $500,000 for <br />maintenance, not reconstruction (i.e., cold place mill and <br />overlay), as their road funds are allocated to projects for the next <br />three years and the potential to receive additional turnback <br />funds. <br />Ms. Bloom reviewed various options available and the <br />expectations of the neighborhood; along with estimated costs <br />and proposed financing for a turnback option for County Road <br />B-2 between Lexington and Rice Street. <br />Ms. Bloom reviewed proposed cross sections for construction of <br />the street; potential Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds available <br />if the City were to accept the turnback of the road; and projected <br />engineering costs, noting that if staff were to meet the federal <br />funding sunset date of September 30, 2004, outside consulting <br />engineers would need to be enlisted at an additional project cost. <br />Ms. Bloom concluded by providing a federal design schedule for <br />preparation of plans and specifications for the proposed project. <br />Discussion included, advantages and disadvantages for <br />construction of a sidewalk rather than a pathway, and the type of <br />construction preferred; problematic costs for engineering fees; <br />connectivity points for a pathway; turnback issues; parking <br />considerations; invasive nature of pathways versus sidewalks to <br />adjacent property owners; safety concerns and buffers; <br />alternative and available funding sources; impacts to existing <br />projects over a projected ten years; leveraging an additional <br />$64,000.00 in annual additional MSA mileage for maintenance <br />and future reconstruction; federal pathway standards and <br />maintenance considerations for equipment and staff; negotiation <br />timeframe for construction easements; right-of--way availability; <br />Page 16 of 26 <br /> <br />
