Aear Sir:
As you know, the ali�runent af Lexington Pl���y. in the area of Jaiversity
Avcnue has been in lir�bo for some time. ti•7e have been unable to ge� inpu�
from you coi:cernin? yot�r align.-nent preference. 1'his means tha-t we must eit�zr
pos�pone the prc�ject one year or proceed without this input.
Lexing-ton Par�aay in this area has one of the highest accident rates
in the city. We feel that ti�.is project should be done as soon as possible
for �;he proteci;io,� of the mo�oring public. T�ie stron#ly feel that .you DlCl11C�
c}loose "I=.lt;erna-Le `" after ne�otiations with your tena.nts, because of cost;
m.aintenance, and ulowing f'actors. ("Alternate 2" is a parkin" lane adjacent
to �;he street a.s opposed to a separate paxxing area,(both attacned).
Based on the above, r�e will noV� proceed with desi�;n on the basis of �
"Alterr.a�e 2", wi�;h construction scheduled for the last paxt of this
constx�uction season.

' • �. EXISTING CONDITIONS . .
' Existing Lexington Pkwy. in this area is 56' ►vide from Central
to Univers+ ty (3 blks.) and 40' wide north of University, Riglit-
of-Iday is 160' . ?he traffic volume on Lexington PkHry. north and
sc.utt� of University Ave. is respectively 15,000 and 20,000
vel�icles per day. !n twenty years we anticipate that these
�espective volures will be 30,000 and 40,000 vehicles per day.
The present and 20 years projection of heavy commercial vehicles
are l�ro of the above figures.
This area has one of the highest accident rates in the city, .
with the Lexington-University intersection leading all others
in accidents. Reiated to this is the fact that this area is
a ':'bottle neck" caused by heavy turning movements.
5. SPECIAL COtJSIDERAT10N5 � . .
Trees: For the residential area north of University, ane tree
�a� i 1 be replaced �•�hi le b wi 11 remain on the �r�est, and one tree
� witl be replaced with four remaining on the east. Overall , a
total of 10 trees will be replaced and 21 will remain.
i'arking: One of the main considerations in choosing this
aiignment was the separate parking area on the east side of
� Lexington between Aurora and University. This allows us to
construct on a centered alignment, and allows the parking area
to remain. We have compromised by eliminating a right turn
Tane from Lexington �Jorthbound onto University eastbound.
We feel that we are still improving this dangerous intersection,
�nd that this compromise has made our improvement accep�abie
�o all concerned.
l°ublic Information t�eeting; A meeting was held the evening of
December 20, 1972, in the Lexington Branch library to present
our project to interested property owners. All owners abutting
this project were invited. Attendance was generally businessmen
C. wfio recognize the area traffic proolems. 7here was general
�areement on t�e layout as oroposed.
b. PRO.POSED IMPROVEMENT
'�e� improve this dangerous situation, we propose to install turn
Eanes on Lexington and on Universityr which rsquires widening
existiing Lexington. {The turn lanes on Universitx come, under a
separate pro ect, therefore, these costs are not included in
this report.�
. .
' ttonorable Lawrence Cohen -3' JanuarX 9, 1973
• � ' Yhe proposed width is 94' . This includes two lanes in each
• direction, turn lanes, and a 6' center island. The width
from Aurora to University is 12' less to accommodate the
special parking area here. The roadway will taper to match
the existing in th� block south of Central and the block
north of University. -
Since we are �ridening on Lexington, this is an opportune time
to do touch up work on the existing surface. lde propose to
overlay this area with 3/4" of as�halt wearing course. This
will give increased skid resistance, a sr�oother riding surface,
reduced maintenance and a better general appearance.
]. RECOMt1EtJDAT I ON
The Department of Public Works feels that this a very worthwhile
prc�ject, and should be brought before the Council for a public
hearing.
Attached is an Administrative Order for your approval which directs
Ctfie Department of Finance to set up the public hearing.
Yours very tr�,ly,
Daniel J. Dunford

Dear Mr. Donovan:
Transmitted herewith are the estimated costs and a set of preliminary
plans for the above project. Also attached are copies of our old estimate
to you and your corresponding assessment rates.
Pavement - 12 foot wide strip $12.24 per Lin. Ft.
. (including engineering and inspection)
Concrete Curb - $ 3.00 per Lin. Ft.
Concrete Drive - 7" thick $ 9.00 per Sq. Yd.
Concrete Sidewalks - $ 0.80 per Sq. Ft.
The cost for a 12' wide strip was computed on a cost per squaxe yard basis.
Due to turn lanes and variable widths� the usual method was difficult to apply.
If 3 lanes in each direction, plus a turn lane are used (width II 92' ), then the
12' wide strip by the usual method 3s $10.26 per linear foot.
We expect to construct about 4,950 lineax feet of concrete curb and gutter,
about 1,260 square yards of 7" driveway, and about 14,800 squaxe feet of 4" thick
sidewalk.
Will you please furnish me with the proposed assessment rates, Finance Department
costs, and the estimated amount recoverable by assessment.

Dear Sir:
The City Council today adopted a Final Qrder, C.F. 261311, in
the matter of improving Lexington Parkwaq from I-94 to
Sherburne Ave. There was considerable discussion with Mr.
Rosenthal, owner of the Dairy Queen on Lexington and Aurora,
concerning traffic that might use his parking lot for access
to Fuller Ave. because of the restrictions for access goin�
south on Aurora and Lexington. The City Council referred Mr.
Rosenthal's problem to the Public Works Committee for further
consideration.
Very truly yours,
City Clerk
