SUMMARY OF ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
SUBURBAN AVENUE from White Bear to Ruth
City Project No.
Report Prepared — 12-28-04
Public Hearing —
PROJECT
The Suburban Avenue Redesign Project extends from White Bear to Ruth and includes
construction of a center median at various locations along this segment. Plants and an
irriga6on system will be installed in the center medians.
Ornamental twin lantern lights will be installed along both sides of Suburban Avenue.
This project is a component of a long term overall community initiative to enhance the
quality of life and aesthetics of this commercial area.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The majority of Suburban Avenue is 48' wide with two lanes in each direction. It has no
center medians or streef iights. Left turns are made from the inside driving lane.
PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS
The existing curb and pavement will remain in place. Center medians will be
co�structed at various locations along Suburban Avenue. The existing pavement will be
removed in areas of inedian construction. The existing pavement in front of the new
median curb will be patched. An irrigation system and plants will be placed in the new
center medians. New twin lanterns will be installed behind the existing curb on both
sides of the roadway.
ALTERNATES
To do nothing would be inconsistent with the City's commitment to improve this segment
of Suburban Avenue.
�-�y1
POSITIVE BENEFITS
This project will improve the quality of I'rfe for surrounding businesses. It will improve
tra�c flow by creating a center left turn lane and enhance the aesthetics of this
commercial area with the addition of plants and ornamental lighting
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Normal problems associated with construction such as noise, dust, reduced access,
and general disruption will be present. Properties along Suburban Avenue wilf be
assessed forthe above standard street lighting, median landscaping, and yearly
maintenance for both.
EFFECTS ON TREES
This project has no affect on existing trees. Additional plants will be installed in the new
center medians.
TIME SCHEDULE
The project will begin in the summer of 2005 and will tre completed by the fal! of 2005.
