DRAFT SUMMARY OF ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS Edmund - Galtier Residential Street Vitality Project (Area 42) City Project No. 04-P-8133 Report Prepared -- 9-23-03 Public Hearing -- PROJECT This project is to improve the area referred to as the Edmund - Galtier Residential Street Vitality Project (Area 42), by constructing new bituminous surfaced streets with concrete curb and gutter, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, boulevards landscaped with sod and trees, and a new lantern style street lighting system. In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs will be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections will be made at the request of property owners. This project area is surrounded by Como Avenue on the north, Cedar Street on the east, University Avenue on the south, and Western Avenue on the west (see attached map). EXISTING CO{VDITIONS Most of the residential streets in the project area are oiled except for 5 blocks which are older paved streets. The street widths vary in this area, generally between 29' and 35'. The street surfaces are generally in fair condition. About half of the area has old green lanterns as the existing street lighting system. The rest of the area, if it has any lights at all, has them mounted on Xcel's wood poles. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the following streets with the construction of new bituminous surfaced streets with concrete curb and gutter, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, and boulevards landscaped with sod and trees. In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs will be made, lead water services in the right of way wilf be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of property owners.

New curb may be hand formed to avoid damaging boulevard trees or their roots. Tree trimming may be necessary to facilitate construction. All the streets to be paved (Iisted above) will also have a lantern style street lighting system installed as part of this project. ALTERNATES To do nothing would be inconsistent with the City's commitment to improve existing oiled and older paved streets. POSITIVE BENEFITS General improvement of the public right-of-way will enhance and add quality to the neighborhood. The newly rebuilt roadways will improve drivability of the neighborhood, and continue the City's efforts to improve the street system in Saint Paul. Lantern style lighting will enhance neighborhood safety and esthetics. ADVERSE EFFECTS Normal problems associated with construction such as noise, dust, reduced access to the neighborhood, and general disruption will be present. EFFECTS ON TREES Street widths will be selected to minimize the impact on trees. New trees will be planted as part of the boulevard restoration. TIME SCHEDULE The project will begin in the spring of 2004 and will be completed by late fall of 2004. There will be further restrictions on the amount of time work is done on individual segments of streets. 2 D�1-23Z- CQST ESTlMATE Construction Engineering Miscellaneous PROJECT TOTAL ESTIMATED FINANCING CIB (2004) Sewer Assessments PROJECT TOTAL $ 2,144,894 $ 418,254 $ 214.489 $ 2,777,637 $ 2,003,533 $ 217,500 $ 556.604 $ 2,777,637 The estimated 2004 assessment rates for residential street paving and lighting are: $28.72 per ASSESSABLE FOOT tor street paving $5.07 per ASSESSABLE FOO7 for lantern style street lighting on residential streets SOURCE OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION For additional information, contact the Project Engineer, Dan Haak, at 266-6084.
