Civil Engineer II Linton stated there is a catch basin on the north side of Bunker Lake Boulevard. <br /> If someone pulled the grate off, they could get in there. Either redevelopment of the triangle <br /> part, or starting to build more in the Ninth Division would be reason to revisit and consider <br /> putting a more permanent fix in there. <br /> City Engineer Westby pointed out at some point the City will be required to reconstruct Bunker <br /> Lake Boulevard as well as Zeolite Street, and it may be more feasible to look at costs and options <br /> then. <br /> Chairperson Riley stated this should wait until there is a reason. <br /> Councilmember Shryock asked if there would be an option at that point to have a straight pipe <br /> and possibly save costs with that. <br /> City Engineer Westby explained it is a straight pipe, and it would need to go as planned. It is a <br /> big pipe and this is what would work best. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated no motion needed. Staff has the guidance they need. <br /> 5.03: Consider Street Width Recommendation for Andrie Street and 164th Lane <br /> Reconstruction Project <br /> City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and noted bonds can be used to widen the bike <br /> lane. Staff is at the point where they would like to go to Council and request authorization. The <br /> feasibility study needs to be updated and presented to the Council. <br /> Councilmember Shryock asked whether it will be a striped bike lane, or if the road will just be <br /> widened. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated these are municipal state aid streets, so the MSA Standards must be <br /> followed. The bike lane would be striped. It will be a 5 foot lane. Since it is a designated bike <br /> lane, and an MSA street, this will help with the funding. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma questioned if the road is widened, will there be no parking on one side, <br /> and bike lane on the other. <br /> City Engineer Westby said there would be parking on one side, and a bike lane on the other. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked if it could be made wider if there was no parking. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated the road could be made narrower, but a variance would need to be <br /> requested from State Aid to eliminate parking on one side of the street. The only way MSA <br /> would approve is if there are certain trees that should be saved. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma noted there is a strip of trees the citizens are concerned about if the road <br /> is widened too much. He commented that road does need to be fixed. <br /> Public Works Committee/June 16, 2015 <br /> Page 5of8 <br />
