Center Street and 14h Avenue NW with 135 watt LED shoebox style light fixtures mounted on 25-foot tall poles that match the pole and fixture styles along Sunwood Drive, and eight (8) 50 watt LED lights on 14-foot tall poles. Attached is a dated drawing showing this design. City staff requested that one of the lights between Sunwood Drive and 143h Avenue be moved to north of 145th Avenue to enhance the street lighting on the east side of Center Street between 145th Avenue and Ramsey Parkway. The estimated cost for this design is roughly $35,000. Conduits for lighting were installed under each of the driveways and street intersections with the Center Street project so none of the existing infrastructure will be damaged. Timeframe: Staff estimates this case will take approximately 20 minutes to present and discuss. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: Staff requests input from the Public Works Committee on the proposed lighting levels along both of these corridors. Staff wishes to request City Council approval of the preferred designs for both projects on April 14 th to allow construction of the lighting systems to be cost-effectively coordinated with the completion of both projects. Alternatives: Alternative #1 — Motion to recommend City Council approval of the Public Works Committee's preferred lighting system for each project including; Alternative #2 — Motion of other. Funding Source: Funding for Center Street lighting will be paid from the TOD grant received from the Metropolitan Council. Funding for the lighting along Riverdale Drive will come from the City's Street Lighting Fund. These expenditures will need to be approved by the City Council on April 14 th. Recommendation: Staff recommends alternative #1 based on the Public Works Committee's preferred design for each project. Action: Recommendation for City Council approval or denial of lighting systems for both projects.
