Ramsey Town Center 7th The streets within Ramsey Town Center 7th; 146th Avenue between Center Street and Rhinestone Street, and Traprock Street between 146th Avenue and East Ramsey Parkway, were constructed in 2005 with only the first lift of bituminous pavement. This project includes reclaiming the existing pavement, and placing two new lifts of bituminous pavement. During development, funds were received from Greenway Terrace and more recently the first phase of Parkside Townhomes, as a cost -share to pay for the wear course bituminous pavement. To date the City has collected $14,500.00 from Greenway Terrace and $7,700.00 from Parkside Townhomes. Additional wear course fees will be collected as future phases develop frontage along 146 th Avenue or Traprock Street. Alternate Bid Twenty-three (23) of the pedestrian ramps proposed to be replaced are connections to the trail system within The Draw Park, generally along Ramsey Parkway between Center Street and Ramsey Boulevard. The trail itself still has some useful life remaining, but is showing significant exposed aggregate. The plans include an alternate bid to mill and overlay the bituminous trails within The Draw Park. There are approximately 1,625 linear feet of trails. Overlaying the trails is not included within the CIP, and does not qualify to use Pavement Management Funds. Staff is proposing to use a portion of the $126,000 budgeted trail maintenance funds to pay for the alternate bid. Radium Street Medians The Village of Sunfish Lake subdivision includes Radium Street between 146th Avenue and Sunwood Drive. Radium Street includes a 12-foot wide raised median, with landscaping, made up of a mix of landscape rock, flowers, shrubs and trees. The medians are owned by the city, however, in past years the Home Owners Association performed landscaping and irrigation system maintenance. Over recent years ash trees have been removed from the medians, and the HOA has not shown interest in continuing maintenance of the medians. There is no formal agreement between the HOA and city for maintenance of the medians, which must therefore fall upon the city. The project includes removal of the medians, and paving to form a continuous pavement mat. After paving the median areas, Radium Street will be 39 feet as measured from the face of curb. This is wide enough to allow for two lanes of traffic and parking on both sides of the street. Staff does not consider Pavement Management Funds as an appropriate funding source for this work, and would recommend Public Improvement Revolving (PIR) Funds.
