_ Summary of Engineering Recommendations
Report Prepared - March 19, 1980
Public Hearing - March 25, 1980
ADVISABILITY AND DESIRABILITY
PROJECT:
Improve Cedar Street from Sixth Street to Eighth Street, Minnesota Street from
Sixth Street to Eighth Street, Sixth Street from Cedar Street to Minnesota Street
and Eighth Street from Cedar Street to Minnesota Street, by constructing or
reconstructing sidewalks , street paving, sanitary sewer repair, and by constructing
an ornamental lighting system, u�der City Projects P-0716, P-0805, V-0708, and
T-1131.
INITIATING ACTION:
This project is a continuation of what was known as the "Capital Center" Project
for upgrading downtown streets. Work on these streets has been held in abeyance
until the development of the block east of Dayton's. •
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Roadways around Town Square have been significantly disturbed by construction.
The sidewalks on the west side (along Dayton's) and south side (along the Skyway
Building) are sunken and in need of replacement. As the Town Square Project nears
completion sidewalks� signals, and lighting will be needed. In addition, recent
sewer i�spections have indicated the need for extensive sewer repairs.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
This project proposes to make necessary sewer repairs, replace existing sidewalks
where necessary, construct a new sidewalk around the Town Square site, repair and
overlay the streets, construct signals, and install an ornamental lighting system.
ALTERNATES:
Because much sidewalk and curb has been removed in conjunction with Town Squa�e,
this project is seen as necessary, and the do nothing alternate is not considered
realistic. It would be possible to go to complete street removal and construction,
but the added construction time, funding, and street closures make that a very
unattractive alternate.
POSITIVE BENEFITS:
Improvement of streets, walks� lighting and signals will complement the Town Square
Project.
• Town Square - 2 - March 19� 1980
ADVERSE EFFECTS:
This project is expected to cause disruption .to traffic in the downtown. Every
effort is being made to minimize this disruption, but unfortunately, its timing
coincides with work being done by the Minnesota Department of Transportation on
the Lafayette and Kellogg Bridges which will result in their being closed during
construction around Town Square.
SPECIAI CONSIDERATIONS:
About half of the funding for this project is through 1980 Capital Improvement
Bonds. If we are not able to use bonding for this project, then it is felt that
an alternate funding source will have to be found.
The sewe� repair and some of the sidewalk repair are necessitated by settlement:
It is felt that this has been caused by Town Square construction. An attorney has
been assigned to this matter and will be seeking reimbursement for damages as is
determined appropriate.
TIME SCHEDULE:
Construction should begin in May and be completed by the beginning of August.
COST ESTIMATE:
Signal Work $90,000
Lighting 42,900
Contract 380,000
� Engineering � Inspection 73,100
Traffic 4,000
Total 5590,000
ESTIMATED FIIJANCING:
Assessments (By Agreements) $ 42,900
Urban Renewal Bonds 148,000
C. I .B. 240,000
Interim Funding (PED) 159,100
Total $590,000
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
For additional information� please contact Tom Kuhfeld at 292-6277.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Public Works feels that this is a necessary project and recommends
approval of the Final Order.
Respectfully Submitted,
Donald E. Nygaard
Director of Public Works
