trail terminates approximately 300 feet east of Dolomite Street, where it connects to Riverdale Drive. This trail is proposed to be extended to Feldspar Street to allow pedestrians and bicyclists to use the off-street trail, which will be separated from Riverdale Drive by a boulevard between 6 and 8-feet wide that will better accommodate snow storage and reduce drifting of snow along the corridor, compared to the existing 0 to 2-foot wide boulevard. Sheet 9 of the attached plans show the proposed typical sections. Municipal utilities (water supply and sanitary sewer) exist within the project area. Sanitary sewer improvements are not proposed with this project. The sanitary sewer lines were cleaned and televised and the results verified that repairs are not immediately needed or anticipated to be needed during the 60-year design life of the improvements. Similarly, no water supply improvements are proposed. However, water service lines extending from the trunk line to individual properties are proposed to be inspected at the right of way to confirm that each service line is properly tied back to the trunk line. This work will help ensure that service line repairs will not be needed during the design life of the proposed improvements, and is being proposed as repairs to several water service lines were made recently along this segment of Riverdale Drive. The water supply system was recently tested for leaks and the results indicate that repairs are not immediately needed or anticipated to be needed during the design life of the improvements. Storm sewer improvements are proposed with this project including adding trunk storm sewer under Riverdale Drive to better convey stormwater runoff from the Dolomite Street intersection area to the Mississippi River, and adding a pollution control structure to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff before it is discharged to the river.
