Public Works Committee 5. 1. Meeting Date: 07/20/2021 By: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works Title: Request for Street light at 15500 Roanoke St (Bear Park) Purpose/Background: Purpose: Address request from resident to add a street light at the Bear Park parking area for added security. Background: The resident that requested the street light frequently reports finding and disposing of trash left on their properties from illicit substance abuse, dirty contraceptives,and, time and time again, waiting for the park to recover from yet another motorized vehicle vandalizing it. Staff checked with Ramsey PD and there were two instances on record in the last three years. One for someone driving their snowmobile in the park and the other was for driving their vehicle on to the grass and spinning circles. Timeframe: 5 Minutes Observations/Alternatives: Staff reports that street lights are infrequent in the area. The nearest street light to the park is at the intersection of Alpine Dr/Roanoke St. Initial cost to install the new light would be $ 4,893.00, with an ongoing monthly maintenance and energy cost of $6.76 Funding Source: 9603 Street Light utility Recommendation: Staff recommendation is to install the street light at bear park for increased security. Action: Motion to PW Committee to move request to city council for approval of street light installation at 15500 Roanoke (Bear Park) Street Light Estimate Attachments Form Review Inbox Reviewed By Date Diana Lund Diana Lund 07/14/2021 01:13 PM Kurt Ulrich MaryJo Warner 07/15/2021 03:59 PM Form Started By: Grant Riemer Started On: 07/12/2021 08:49 AM Final Approval Date: 07/15/2021
