This project area is generally bounded by Larpenteur Avenue on the north, Lexington Parkway on the east, Arlington Avenue and the Como Park Golf Course on the south, and Hamline Avenue on the west. (See the attached map for the project area.) EXISTING CONDITIONS All of the residential streets in the project area are oiled. Some of the streets have concrete curb or curb and gutter; the rest have no curb at all. The street widths vary in this area, generally between 29` and 32'. The street surfaces are generally in fair condition, and a little worse where there is no existing curb. 7he area has only a couple of existing lantern style lights, where a singie light has been installed on two or three of the side streets adjacent to Hoyt. The rest of the {ighting in the area is on Xcel Energy's wood poles. PROPOSEDfMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the foliowing oiled 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 wiff be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of property owners.
