asphalt. The project should be complete in the next couple of weeks. Some additional rain garden planting is also left to be done. Jim DeBenedet asked when the contractor will be done with the wear course. Deb Bloom answered the contractor will put in sod first then complete the final layer of asphalt. All of the mill and overlay projects already have the wear course down along with curbs. The contractor is scheduled to be done with the wear course on the Roselawn project in early October. Dwayne Stenlund asked if the project has salt tolerant sod. Deb Bloom answered the project has a highland sod. The Engineering staff has looked into adding salt tolerant sod to specifications in the past but has not been unable to get a large enough quantity to do a project. Deb Bloom mentioned that staff is looking into a no-mow grass seed for the Twin Lakes project that is supposed to be more salt tolerant. Since this is not a rye grass it does have an October 20 deadline for seeding. Deb Bloom stated that Iona Lane in the Twin Lakes project is complete. The right turn lane off of Cleveland is in place with wear course on it which is a part of the Park and Ride project located at Iona and Cleveland. The segment of Mount Ridge that has curb now has a base course down. The majority of the utilities have been completed for the Twin Lakes project. Curb should be installed in the next couple of days for the round-about and the east-west portion of Twin Lakes. Sample of the stained and impressioned concrete will be poured this week to have the color and patterns approved. On the north and south boulevards of Twin Lakes, a series of storm water features are being installed. Irrigation is also being installed. Trees and no-mow seed should be installed in the next couple of weeks on Mount Ridge. The Park and Ride on Iona and Cleveland should be open in November. Deb Bloom stated Paper Calmenson Sanitary Sewer had some unexpected soil issues. About 50 feet from the man hole with the directional boring they ran into a rock. The contractor is working with MnDOT to piggyback on their road closures to complete the project. MnDOT will wait for Larpenteur to be open before they close Broadway to finish this project. At the west end of County Road B, the pavement is being removed from the section that connects to TH 280. The store sewer at Eustis St is being installed. A notice has been sent out to the residents. Ramsey County has approached the City about turning back this section of County Road B to the City for maintenance. Deb Bloom stated about 20 raingardens are being installed for the Walsh Lake Drainage project located just to the south of Midland Hills, north of Roselawn Avenue. There have been some capacity issues with the storm sewer in this area. Planting will occur in the spring of 2010. Deb Bloom mentioned the watermain project on Lexington Avenue, Oxford Street and Churchill Street from County Road C2 to Woodhill Drive. Currently Page 2 of 11
