Estates. It also eliminates the need for obtaining a drainage easement which would be required if the drainage were to be concentrated by curbline and discharged at specific locations. It is proposed that Project 892-23 be constructed with a cul-de-sac terminating approximately 350 feet north of the Section 9 Half Section Line. The cut-de-sac will be paved with a 32 foot radius which would alleviate the need for acquiring additional right-of-way beyond the existing four rods. It is also proposed that 171st Avenue N.W. between Bison Street N.W. and Zeolite Street N.W. be removed to reduce traffic in Golden Eagle Estates. The existing pavement west of the west line of Golden Eagle Estates would be removed and bollards placed across the width of the right-of- way to prevent vehicle access. The bollards and an eight foot bituminous path would still allow pedestrian access. It is felt that pedestrian access is important. Since school districts have restricted policy on traveling down cul-de-sacs, it is important that school children have an alternative bus stop location other than the comer of Bison Street N.W. and County Road #63. In addition, the potential need for this street to be a through street in the future is recognized. It is proposed that the right-of-way for the through street be obtained through purchase under this improvement, but that an agreement with the current property owners specify that the connecting roadway would not be constructed during their tenure of the properties. Following paving of the roadway, disturbed areas will be restored with a minimum of four inches of topsoil and be fertilized, seeded and mulched. .ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS The estimated costs for projects g92-20 and ,tt92-23 are presented in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, and include detailed construction costs and overhead costs.
