at Hamline Ave and Lexington Avenue to improve intersection capacity. Signal timing will also be adjusted to ensure the roadway is operating at optimum efficiency. Streetscape Proiect: In 2001, the City commissioned a�nasterplanningstudy to review streetscape improvements along County Road C from Long Lake Road to Rice Street. Following an extensive public involvement process involving the City Council, Roseville residents, business owners, and Ramsey County, the County Road C Streetscape Framework Manual was adopted by the Roseville City Council in March of 2002. The City applied for and received federal funding for the streetscape project in 2002. The original grant was for $1,000,000 which has been adjusted for inflation to $1,130,000. This funding can be used for construction costs for both Phase I and Phase I� of this project. These federal funds can provide up to an 8012a matching program. The City will need to fund 20°/o ($226,000) of the construction cost with internal funding. In addition to these matching construction funds, the City will need to fund any design costs. At this time, we anticipate developing these plans with our existing City Staff. Following Council direction, staff developed a level of design using the manual as a basis. The City Council requested that we emphasize landscaping and eliminate the "non- functional" streetscape elements. Using this as a guide we will be able to develop a landscaping plan that is on par with what is proposed in the Framework manual, and meets the construction budget defined by the Federal funds. This modified design was approved for the Phase I streetscape at the Public Hearing on August 12, 2002, and it is this same level of landscaping that we propose for this Phase II streetscape design.
