During this meeting, the general Contractor, Kuechle Underground, Inc. (KUI), provided information to the City including contact information, a materials suppliers list, dates of upcoming construction work, their anticipated hours and methods of construction, their traffic control plans, and other general construction information. The purpose of this letter is to share the most pertinent information with you. This infoimation can also be found on the project web page at http://www.cityoframsey.com/808/Riverdale-Drive-Reconstruction-IP-21-00. This project web page will remain your best source of updated information throughout construction of this project. Project Background City Improvement Project #21-00 proposes to reconstruct Riverdale Drive from Feldspar Street to approximately 200 feet west of Sunfish Lake Boulevard. The segment of Riverdale Drive east to Tungsten Street is proposed to be reconstructed in 2024 - 2025 when the new Sunfish Lake Boulevard interchange is constructed as part of the Ramsey Gateway Highway 10 improvements. The City will continue to patch the east end of Riverdale Drive until it is reconstructed with the new interchange. Property owners will not be assessed for these improvements. The segment of Riverdale Drive from Feldspar Street to Sunfish Lake Boulevard is currently 44-feet wide. This project will reduce the width of Riverdale Drive to 34-feet, which will be accomplished by removing two existing 6-foot wide on -street bike lanes on the west end of Riverdale Drive, as well as the on -street parking lane along the north side of Riverdale Drive. On -street parking will instead be provided in a new 8-foot wide parking lane along the south side of Riverdale Drive. Travel lanes will be 12-feet wide, with another 2-feet provided along the north side to better accommodate trucks and mitigate the loss of useable pavement due to snow and ice accumulations. The existing 10-foot wide off-street bituminous trail north of Riverdale Drive that teii iinates approximately 300 feet east of Dolomite Street will be extended to Feldspar Street with this project. This trail will allow pedestrians and bicyclists to use an off-street trail separated from traffic by a 6 to 8-foot wide boulevard. This boulevard will also better accommodate snow storage and reduce drifting of snow along the corridor as currently occurs due to the existing narrow (0 to 2-foot wide) boulevard. A trunk storm sewer line will be constructed under Riverdale Drive with this project to better convey stormwater runoff from the Dolomite Street intersection to the Mississippi River. A pollution control structure will also be installed to remove pollutants from the stormwater runoff before it is discharged into the river. Municipal utilities (water supply and sanitary sewer) are in good operating condition and repairs are not required with this project. However, individual water supply lines that serve properties along Riverdale Drive will be exposed and inspected at the property lines in an attempt to confirm that the service lines were properly installed and will not require repairs during the anticipated 60-year design life of these improvements.
