In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wiil be made, lead water services in the right-of-way wiii be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections will be made at the request of property owners. This project area is generally bounded by Larpenteur Avenue on the north, Lexington Parkway on the east, Ariington 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 GONDITlONS Aii 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. The area has oniy 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 lighting in the area is on Xcel Energy's wood poles. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the following 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, fead water services in the right-of-way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of property owners.

New curb and gutter 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 (listed above} wi4f 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 streets. POSITIVE BENEFITS General improvement of the public right-of-way will enhance and add quality to the neighborhood. The newly rebuiit roadways will improve drivability of the neighborhood, and continue the City's efforts to improve the street system in Saint Paul. Street oiling in this neighborhood will be eliminated. 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 wiil be present. EFFECTS ON TREES Street widths wili be selected to minimize the impact on trees. New trees wili be planted as part of the boulevard restoration. TIME SCHEDULE The project will begin in the spring of 2002 and will be compieted by late fall of 2002. There will be further restrictions on the amount of time work is done on individual segments of streets. 2 G � -� O \..1�.SS COST ESTIMATE Construction Engineering Miscelianeous PROJECT TOTAL ESTIMATED FINANCING CIB (2002) Assessments PROJECT TOTAL $ 1,274,131 $ 248,456 $ 127.4�3 $ 1,650,000 $ 1,221,792 $ 428.208 $ 1,650,000 The proposed 2002 assessment rates for residential street paving and lighting are: $27.71 per ASSESSABLE FOOT for street paving $4.89 per ASSESSABLE FOOT for lantern style street lighting on residential streets SOURCE OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION For additional information, contact the Project Engineer, Lisa Falk, at 266-6117.
