Department Approval: REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Manager Reviewed: / / `; � � DATE: 04/26/04 ITEM NO.: 6. Agenda Section: Item Description: Resolution concurring with the turnback of Roselawn Avenue (Hamline Avenue to Fulham Street) from Ramsey County to the City of Roseville Background: Since 1991, the State, County and cities within Ramsey County have been working to complete a roadway functional consolidation plan. The purpose of this plan is to place roadways under the jurisdiction that is best able to manage them. Since 1995, approximately 8 miles of roadway jurisdiction has been transferred from Ramsey County to the City of Roseville including North and South McCarrons Boulevard, Josephine Road, South and West Owasso Boulevards, a portion of Victoria Street, and portions of Roselawn Avenue. As part of this same plan, the remaining segments of Roselawn Avenue are proposed to be transferred from Ramsey County to the City of Roseville and the City of Falcon Heights. Ramsey County has requested a resolution from Roseville concurring with the proposed turnback. Jurisdiction of Roselawn Avenue from Hamline Avenue to Victoria Street was previously transferred to the City several years ago. The segments proposed to be transferred jointly to the City of Roseville and the City of Falcon Heights are from Hamline Avenue on the east to Fulham Street on the west, a distance of two miles. As agreed by Ramsey County per resolution, they will improve the segment of Roselawn from Fairview Avenue to Fulham Street in 2004, with a mill and overlav project. They will crackseal the pavement on the segment from Snelling Avenue to Fairview Avenue, which was previously overlayed in 2000. They will also repair all stormwater structures as identified by a City of Roseville survey in March of this year. Ramsey County will also provide $175,000 toward a joint Roseville/Falcon Heights reconstruction project for the segment from Hamline Avenue to Snelling Avenue. We anticipate this project to be constructed in 2006. With this jurisdictional transfer, the responsibility of maintenance for these segments will be born by Roseville and Falcon Heights. These segments are eligible to receive MSA funding after transfer to local jurisdiction. Policy objectives: Governmental units within Ramsey County have agreed that roadways should be owned and maintained by the appropriate governing agency based on roadway type. Accordingly, a functional classification study of roadways was completed in the early 1990's. This jurisdictional change proposed is in keeping with this original study.
