3. EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />3.1 Street <br />The affected area of Armstrong Boulevard is currently a two-lane rural roadway with <br />drainage ditches on both sides of the roadway. The project includes the southerly <br />transition area on Armstrong Boulevard from the previous project at Armstrong <br />Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard. 147th Avenue is currently a 40-foot city street <br />with curb and gutter. <br />There is currently no street to the east of Armstrong Boulevard at 147th Avenue where the <br />relocated Sunwood Drive is proposed. <br />3.2 Trail <br />There is an existing trail on the east side of Armstrong Boulevard extending from Bunker <br />Lake Boulevard to the north to Alpine Drive. There is also a trail along the north side of <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard east and west of Armstrong Boulevard. There is currently not a <br />trail along Armstrong Boulevard within the project limits. <br />3.3 Storm Sewer <br />A storm water pond was constructed on the east side of Armstrong Boulevard south of <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard to handle storm water runoff from Armstrong Boulevard and <br />adjacent parcels. This storm water pond was sized to handle additional storm water <br />runoff from a four lane Armstrong Boulevard between existing Sunwood Drive and <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard. <br />3.4 Sanitary Sewer <br />A 24-inch sanitary sewer main was constructed on the west side of Armstrong Boulevard <br />between the existing Sunwood Drive and the Ramsey Fire station as part of the <br />Armstrong Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard intersection reconstruction. See <br />Figure 4 in Appendix A. <br />3.5 Water Main <br />There is no water main located in the Armstrong Boulevard right-of-way within the <br />project limits. A 24-inch water main was extended to the south side of Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard on the east side of Armstrong Boulevard as part of the Bunker Lake Boulevard <br />and Armstrong Boulevard project consistent with the Cities Comprehensive Water plan. <br />See Figure 4 in Appendix A. <br />3.6 Private Utilities <br />There is gas, telephone, and electric utilities located in the Armstrong Boulevard right-of- <br />way within the project limits.
