Case #3: Update on C.R. #116 (Improvement Project #97-25) City Engineer Jankowski stated that the extension of C.R. #116, between Ramsey and Armstrong Boulevards, has been scheduled for construction in July 1998. The City of Ramsey is providing right-of-way for the project and has initiated actions to address wetland mitigation which has been determined to be unavoidable. There has been concern expressed about tree line preservation. We will be impacting this tree line and we will probably only be able to save about 10 feet of the line, however, we are talking to the County about alternatives. The County requires a 30-foot clear line and they appear unwilling to move the road any to save trees. Mayor Gamec asked about berming on the north side of#116. Mr. Jankowski responded that it doesn't show berming, however, we have talked to the consultant about it and will call him again to remind him. Case #4: Update on 1998 Street Maintenance Program City Engineer Jankowski stated that, at the February public hearing on the 1998 Street Maintenance Program, a number of concerns were raised on the necessity of the improvements proposed, particularly those projects recommended for a bituminous overlay. In response to the concerns, Councilmember Zimmerman and City Engineer Jankowski reviewed Projects #98-09 through #98~12. Based on the visual survey of the streets, Mr. Jankowski recommended that Improvement Project #98-09, #98-10 and #98-11 proceed as proposed in the feasibility study. He is recommending modification to Project #98-12 (the MSA streets) as follows: 1) Delete the portion of 153rd Avenue between C.S.A.H. #5 and T.H. #47. This segment was deemed to have a pavement condition rating of 4 to 5, which represent threshold ratings between recommending sealcoating and overlay. Since a portion of this segment will be reconstructed in conjunction with the T.H. #47 project in 1999, it is prudent to delay work until that project is completed. 2) Delete the portion of 155th Avenue between Variolite and C.R. #56. The pavement rating condition of this segment is 5 or better, and an overlay is premature. It should be delayed until the pavement condition reaches a 4. 3) Delete the portion of 153rd Avenue from T.H. #47 to a point 1,000 feet east of the intersection. Although the pavement rating condition is less than a 4 on this roadway segment, a portion will be redone in conjunction with the T.H. #47 project, and it is anticipated that watermain and sewer will be extended within this portion of roadway in conjunction with the 1999 T.H. #47 project. Motion by Mayor Gamec and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to recommend Council direct staff to modify the 1998 Street Maintenance Program by deleting the recommended road segments from the program and modifying the assessment rolls accordingly. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec and Councilmembers Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Absent: CouncilmemberHaas Steffen. Road and Bridge Committee/April 21, 1998 Page 5 of 8
