development. This will result in a total of 2.21 miles of gravel roads remaining in 2025. <br />Additionally, the gravel road section of 173rd Avenue west of Nowthen Boulevard/CSAH 5 is proposed to be <br />paved as part of the Trott Brook Crossing residential development within the next several years, depending on the <br />development's buildout schedule. <br />For the purposes of tonight's discussion, the City can focus on paving the remaining 1.9 miles of gravel roads. <br />Staff will continue to promote the elimination of gravel roads as additional private development occurs. <br />Alternatives: <br />Alternative #1: <br />Motion to direct staff to obtain soil borings for all remaining gravel roads and to explore stormwater management <br />needs as required to convert the gravel roads to bituminous pavement sections. <br />Alternative #2: <br />Motion to recommend further discussion of this topic with the full City Council at a future work session. <br />Alternative #3: <br />Motion of other. <br />Funding Source: <br />Preliminary estimated project costs to convert these streets from gravel surfacing to bituminous pavement range <br />from $1.5M to over $3M, depending on required subgrade corrections and stormwater management needs. To <br />refine estimated project costs, soil borings will be required. This work could be completed within the next 2 to 3 <br />months. <br />Potential funding sources include Public Improvement Revolving (PIR) funds, Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds, <br />and bonding. Pavement Management Funds are not an option as these funds are strictly dedicated to funding <br />pavement overlay and street reconstruction projects. Attached is a copy of the cash flow projections for these and <br />other funds copied from the 2024 to 2033 Capital Improvement Plan. <br />Per the attached Special Assessment Policy, property owners are proposed to be assessed 50-percent of the project <br />costs to convert their streets from gravel to pavement. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approving alternative action #1 since underlying soils generally do not change over time and <br />since the CIP does not address replacing the 1999 road grader. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Based on discussion. <br />2024 Gravel Road Summary <br />2024 Gravel Roads Map <br />Special Assessment Policy <br />CIP Cash Flow Projections <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />
