GRASS LAKE WATER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION <br />AGENDA ITEM <br />Date: 1/23/97 Prepared by: Mark Maloney Item: A-5 <br />Organizational Items <br />Item Description: Staff reports on pending matters <br />1. New developments/projects within Shoreview affecting the GLWMO: <br />a. Highway 96 Reconstruction <br />Ramsey County, through their engineering consultant for the project, are completing the <br />development of detailed plans and specifications for the reconstruction of Highway 96 from <br />Lexington Avenue to Mackubin Street. In addition, the City of Shoreview is undertaking various <br />improvements of its own infrastructure at the same time as the roadway construction. Together, <br />the County's and City's planned improvements to the roadway corridor include reconstruction of <br />the highway as a four-lane, divided facility with landscaped medians and boulevard areas, <br />drainage improvements, utility improvements/repairs, relocation of overhead power lines <br />(underground) and the installation of a pedestrian underpass near Shoreview's Community <br />Center. <br />Because a significant portion of the roadway in this segment ultimately drains to Snail Lake, the <br />design of the roadway's drainage system has been of particular interest to Shoreview's staff, <br />residents and advisory committees. Regional ponding facilities meeting NURP and <br />GLWMO/Shoreview standards are included in the plans, to offset the impact of the planned <br />roadway/corridor improvements. These facilities, for the first stage of Highway 96 <br />reconstruction in Shoreview,. are located along the south side of the highway; one near the <br />intersection with Dale Street, and the other within Ramsey County's Snail Lake Open Space. <br />The City of Shoreview is accepting the responsibility for long-term maintenance of the facilities, <br />and will be reimbursed by Ramsey County for a portion of the maintenance costs in accordance <br />with the terms of an agreement for cost sharing for the project. <br />b. Community Center Underpass - The consultant has essentially completed the design work on the <br />project to insure that it can be completed in conjunction with the reconstruction of Highway 96. <br />c. Horseshoe Drive Horseshoe Drive -Plans and specifications are scheduled for completion in <br />March. <br />C ~~ -,,.~ ~ . ~~ e <br />~ ; ,~, ~r'a ~'~ <br />~, ,, <br />\~- <br />
