In the Spring of 2022, Capstone Homes began construction on the first phase of Riverstone South, a 244-unit residential development east of Bowers Drive and south of U.S. Highway 10/169. Commercial development is also proposed in the area between U.S. Highway 10/169 and the proposed extension of Riverdale Drive.

The trunk utility improvements are being constructed ahead of Improvement Project#20-05 to better facilitate the construction schedule for Riverstone South. Improvement Project#20-05 proposes to reconstruct and extend street and trail improvements between Bowers Drive and the new segment of Riverdale Drive constructed with the Armstrong Boulevard and Highway 10 interchange, and to extend trunk watermain improvements between Riverdale Drive and Bunker Lake Boulevard. Pursuant to Ramsey City Council Resolution#21-304 the City Council accepted a design services proposal of Bolton&Menk, Inc. to develop final plans and specifications and solicit bids for Improvement Project#20-05. Bolton&Menk, Inc. has completed plans and specifications for the purpose of advertising for bids for the same improvements, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation has approved the plans as needed to advertise for bids. Attached is a copy of the signed title sheets for Improvement Project#20-05. Notification: Notifications are not required for this case.
