IP 27-01 MSA 142nd Avenue & Juniper Ridge Drive Reconstructions This project proposes to reconstruct two (2) Municipal State Aid (MSA) street segments on the east side of Ramsey; 142nd Avenue between Saint Francis Boulevard (TH 47) and Xkimo Street, and Juniper Ridge Drive between 156th Lane and Roanoke Street. The segments were combined due to their relatively small size and close proximity. 142nd Avenue is 0.07 miles of urban section including concrete curb and gutter, municipal water and sewer, and storm sewer. Juniper Ridge Drive is 0.37 miles of urban section including bituminous curbing and storm sewer inlets, but no municipal water and sewer. These streets will be reconstructed to meet MSA 10-ton pavement design standards and minimum lane widths. 142nd Avenue is anticipated to be a full -depth reclamation (FDR). Juniper Ridge Drive is generally anticipated to be an FDR with the addition of replacing the bituminous curbing with concrete curb and gutter. Because Juniper Ridge Drive includes an outlet to the Rum River, staff will evaluate if a retro-fit hydrodynamic separator storm structure would be appropriate. Permitting will require review and approval by the MnDOT MSA office prior to bidding these improvements. Staff will coordinate improvements at the intersection of 142nd Avenue and Saint Francis Boulevard (TH 47). The current expectation is for MnDOT to overlay TH 47 and include the trail improvements between 142nd Avenue and Xkimo Street. If trail improvements, including updated pedestrian ramps to current ADA standards is required, staff will need to additionally work through a MnDOT right of way permit. Juniper Ridge Drive is within the 2040 MUSA. The closest stub, located on Waco Street approximately 200 feet south of Juniper Ridge Drive. This stub could service the immediate area, but does not have the depth to service all of the project area. To date staff has not received inquires from residents, but could explore city service extensions if given direction to from the committee. The CIP level project costs are $539,784 ($469,377 MSA Funds, $70,407 Storm Water Utility Funds). IP 27-02 2027 MSA Overlay Pavement Overlay Improvements This project proposes to mill and overlay numerous MSA street segments within the south half of the COR, totaling 1.61 miles in length. • Rhinestone Street bituminous pavement between Veterans Drive and Bunker Lake Boulevard • Sunwood Drive bituminous pavement between Armstrong Boulevard and Ramsey Boulevard • Veterans Drive between Zeolite Street and Rhinestone Street • Zeolite Street between Sunwood Drive and Veterans Drive All of the street segments in this project are urban section including concrete curb and gutter, municipal sewer and water, and storm sewer. The streets will need to meet MSA 10-ton pavement design standards and be marked to meet MSA lane width standards as well. Staff will evaluate if pavement markings must be modified to meet current standards, which will include the various turn lanes along Sunwood Drive that have been modified several times due to past and current development. In general, the improvements are proposed to include a 2-inch mill and overlay, with spot curb replacements and ADA pedestrian ramp replacements. The CIP level project costs are $785,169 ($747,780 MSA Funds, $37,389 Storm Water Utility Funds). IP 27-03 Deerwood Street Reconstructions This project proposes to reconstruct the streets within the Deerwood subdivision, generally located along Gibbon Street and Eland Street, north of 173rd Avenue. The streets are 24-foot-wide rural section, totaling 1.13 miles in length. Drainage is handled through street crossing culverts and drainage swales which generally carry storm water to existing wetlands throughout the subdivision. In 2016 significant time was spent reviewing the drainage of this subdivision, particularly around the possibility
