roadway. It was anticipated that ultimate expansion of Bunker Lake Boulevard to two lanes in each direction with center turn lane would be required for future development along Bunker Lake Boulevard. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that projected traffic on this roadway could be 11,000 ADT if the street is part of a future Mississippi River crossing. Without being part of a River crossing, the Comprehensive Plan provides 20 -year projections of 5,000 ADT. The roadway was located within the right-of-way to provide future flexibility in roadway expansion with minimal modifications to what will be constructed. Puma Street Improvements to Puma Street were evaluated because of the need to extend Bunker Lake Boulevard to Puma Street, a distance of about one-half mile. Puma Street received only minimal improvements, being widened from 18 feet width to 24 feet and paved with 2 inches of bituminous over 6 inches of aggregate base. More significant upgrades to the roadway were anticipated, but not completed at that time. The anticipated future requirements included a 32 foot wide street with curb and gutter with full base and pavement improvement. Bituminous Trails A 10 -foot wide bituminous trail was constructed along the north side of the Bunker Lake Boulevard from Armstrong Boulevard to Puma Street and on the west side of Puma Street from Bunker to Alpine Drive. Intersections Bunker Lake Boulevard and Armstrong Boulevard was reconstructed to include turn lanes and signalization. Sanitary Sewer Improvements Sanitary sewer was extended north along the west side of Armstrong Boulevard from 146th Avenue/Sunwood Drive NW to Bunker Lake Boulevard. To meet the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan and serve additional areas beyond the study area, a 21 -inch sewer main was constructed. It was intended to extend the 21 -inch trunk sewer further to the north to service Fire Station No. 1 and the proposed future location of the water treatment plant. In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, an 18 -inch sanitary sewer was extended westward along Bunker Lake Boulevard. This line will provide service to the study area, as well as future development that may occur on the south side of Bunker Lake Boulevard, and could be further extended in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
