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