The pedestrian friendly design on existing Sunwood Drive is continued with the <br />realigned Sunwood Drive. Sidewalks are proposed on both sides of the roadway <br />connecting to the existing sidewalks and to the new trail along Armstrong Boulevard. <br />Pedestrian crossings are provided through the roundabout. Delaying the construction <br />of the north and east legs of the roundabout is also recommended until the big box site <br />is developed or until Ramsey Parkway is extended. An interim concrete curb is proposed <br />through the unfinished portions of the roundabout, as shown in Figure 4. <br />The proposed work also includes demolition of the abandoned portion of Sunwood <br />Drive. Existing street lights and other items will be salvaged and reused to supplement <br />new street lights. The 75-foot street light spacing currently on Sunwood Drive will be <br />maintained. The boulevard will be restored in accordance with the City policy of 4" of <br />topsoil and sod and will be sprinklered. Boulevard trees will be provided at the same <br />spacing on existing Sunwood Drive. The proposed boulevard improvements will present <br />a completed entrance to the western portion of The COR. <br />A new entrance will be provided to the Coborn's site and the right in only intersection <br />on the east end of that site will be converted to a full intersection. The new entrance is <br />not included in this project. <br />Water Main <br />The proposed utility improvements are s own on Figure A 12" water main currently <br />runs on Sunwood Drive terminating on the west side of Armstrong Boulevard. This main <br />will remain in place to serve the area west of Armstrong Boulevard. Ramsey's Water <br />Plan proposes a 12" water main on Armstrong Boulevard. This main will be installed on <br />the realigned Sunwood Drive and extended through the new Armstrong/Sunwood <br />intersection to provide looped water service to the area west of Armstrong Boulevard. <br />Water services will be extended to the commercial area between Sunwood Drive and <br />Armstrong Boulevard. A 24" watermain currently exists in the southeast quadrant of <br />the Armstrong/Bunker intersection. Connection to and extension of the watermain is <br />not recommended at the present time, pending the update of the City's Water Plan and <br />the development of the big box site. A water service will be provided to the roundabout <br />center island and for the boulevard sprinklering. <br />City of Ramsey <br />Sunwood Drive <br />LAND FORM <br />Project No. RAM11008 <br />Page 8 <br />
