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 use a straight pipe and <br />possibly save costs by removing the manhole. <br />City Engineer Westby explained a manhole is needed to connect the straight pipe to the pond <br />outlet so it would need to be constructed as planned. <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 that Staff was just informed that Street <br />Reconstruction Bonds can be used to widen the street for a bike lane. Staff is at the point where <br />they would like to go to Council and request authorization to complete a Feasibility Report for <br />construction in 2016. <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 also need to be striped. <br />Councilmember Kuzma questioned if the road is widened, will there be parking on one side, and <br />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 narrower 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, which is typically only <br />allowed if large trees can 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 5 of 8 <br />
