CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 06/10/2025 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Improve the safety and mobility of transportation corridors. 5. 11. Title: Adopt Resolution #25-122 Ordering Plans and Specifications for MSA Sunwood Drive Crosswalk Repairs, Improvement Project #25-08 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #25-122 ordering plans and specifications for MSA Sunwood Drive Crosswalk Repairs, Improvement Project #25-08. Background: Project Need Sunwood Drive and Rhinestone Street were constructed in 2004 under Improvement Project 03-29. The project included colored concrete pedestrian crossings at 8 intersections (6 along Sunwood Drive and 2 along Rhinestone Street), which have been especially prone to failure over the years. Over the last several years, public works staff have patched the concrete pavement using bituminous to fill voids in the pavement. Additionally, curb replacement and small panel replacement work has occurred. Though many pavement repairs have been required along this corridor, most damage has occurred within the colored concrete pedestrian crossings. This is an issue because of the trip hazards which are created due to the deterioration of the colored concrete. Additionally, recent and proposed developments along Sunwood Drive are anticipated to increase foot and vehicle traffic in the area. The proposed 2025 — 2034 CIP proposes to replace the colored concrete pedestrian crossings along Sunwood Drive in 2025. The remaining concrete repairs along Sunwood Drive and Rhinestone Street are still proposed for 2029. Project History • September 17, 2024, the Ramsey Public Works Committee recommended City Council order topographic survey of the project area. Additionally, the committee directed staff to bring a future case forward to compare costs of various options for replacement of the colored concrete. • September 24, 2024, the Ramsey City Council adopted Resolution #24-282 ordering topographic survey of the project area. • October 22, 2024, the Ramsey City Council adopted Resolution #24-295, accepting and awarding a proposal from Hakanson Anderson for topographic survey of the project area. • May 20, 2025, the Ramsey Public Works Committee recommended City Council order plans and specifications for said improvements, including replacing the colored concrete with standard concrete pavement and standard crosswalk markings. Existing Conditions Sunwood Drive between Zeolite Street and Rhinestone Street varies between 40 and 48 feet wide, concrete pavement urban section, with a variation of parking lanes and turn lanes along the corridor. Concrete sidewalk exists throughout the corridor, though the existing sidewalk varies between existing and proposed from block to block. The Average Daily Traffic (ADT) is 4,582 as of 2022, but is anticipated to increase due to development in the COR. Sunwood Drive is a Municipal State Aid (MSA) street and must conform to MSA design standards, including meeting a 10-ton pavement strength design.
