feasibility report on converting these four lights. He stated they will announce their plans in about four months. Councilmember Shryock stated she receives a lot of questions on the light at Alpine and Sunfish Lake Boulevard. Since the volume is not as high at this light, she suggested, it may be a good place to start this conversion process. City Engineer Westby responded this light is not in the list to consider converting. He offered to ask about this light. City Engineer Westby noted the Gibbons Street drainage issue involving the Miskes is on the consent agenda for the next Council meeting to move forward with the feasibility report. City Engineer Westby stated Rivlyn Avenue is being restored by a contractor. There will be a trail, a road and a few less trees. This will be completed in a couple of weeks. Chairperson Riley inquired about an update on the crossing at CSAH 5 and Highway 47. City Engineer Westby replied the Council approved the Master Partnership Contract. He explained the crosswalk will not be constructed this fall. Staff was not able to coordinate all the factors quick enough to complete the construction this fall. It will be started in the spring. Chairperson Riley asked for an update on Armstrong Boulevard. City Engineer Westby noted the plan was to open it up for traffic on November 20, according to a letter from the County. Beams will be installed over night. The plan is to get 5 beams in per night rather than the typical 3. The crews will be working extra hours to get this done. 7.
