REPORT ON FEASIBLITY STUDY <br /> FOR <br />157TH AVENUE N.W. BETWEEN ARMSTRONG BOULEVARD & VARIOLITE STREET <br /> BITUMINOUS STREET PAVING <br /> <br />SCOPE <br /> <br />The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of providing <br />bituminous streets to serve the above referenced area. This report further <br />provides a cursory review of the existing drainage system within the project area. <br /> <br />The project area lies within the Southwest Quarter of Section 16 and the <br />Northwest Quarter of Section 21, Range 25 West, Township 32 North, City of <br />Ramsey, Anoka County, Minnesota. <br /> <br />The project area lies between Armstrong Boulevard and Variolite Street N.W. <br /> <br />The project area is shown on Exhibit A. <br /> <br />EXISTING CONDITIONS <br /> <br />The present street is sand surfaced approximately 28 to 30 feet in width. An <br />inspection of the area revealed that the ditches are non-existent or inadequate <br />along the street. Therefore, storm water runoff ponds in the low areas along <br />the street or on the street percolating into the soil. <br /> <br />PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />Since the present street is inadequate in cross-section paving either as a <br />rural street or a suburban street, it is our recommendation that a suburban <br />street section be used. This would eliminate the need for culverts, limit the <br />disruption to the abutting property and minimize the costs of the improvement.~ <br /> <br />-1- <br /> <br /> <br />
