SUMMARY OF ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
Fourth Street Areaways — Jackson to Sibley
Report Prepared 6-9-10
Public Hearing 7-21-10
PROJECT
As part of the CC LRT project the sidewalk on the north side of Fourth Street between
Jackson Street and Sibley Street, will be removed and reconstructed. The Pioneer Building
and Sibley Square Building have areaways which are in need of improvement so that the CC
LRT work may proceed. The property owners have requested the work be completed by Met
Council and assessed to them. This work consists of relocating and/or supporting utilities and
performing all other related work to complete said improvement.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing areaways have utilities attached to the underside of the sidewalk which wi11 be
removed to perform the CC LRT work. These utilities must be relocated and/or supported during
this sidewalk work.
PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS
It is proposed to improve the sidewalk on the norkh side of Fourth Street between Jackson
Street and Sibley Street, by relocating and/or supporting existing utilities, removing the existing
sidewalk, performing the necessary CC LRT work, replacing the sidewalk and replacement of
areaway utilities.
The property owners have requested the work be completed by Met Council and assessed to
them. Once the work has been completed the City will assess the property owners for the full
cost of the work. The City will reimburse Met Council the fuli cost of the work for the two
areaways under the CC LRT Master Funding Agreement between the City of Saint Paul and
Met Council.
ALTERNATES
To do nothing would be inconsistent with the property owners desire to have this work assessed
to them. The property owners would need to cover 100% of the cost of the work immediately.
POSITIVE BENEFITS
By Met Council controlling the work there is less chance for delays to the CC LRT project which
is on a tight timeframe.
ADVERSE EFFECTS
The City will be financing the work.
r �-� � �-
TfME SCHEDULE
The work will be completed in the summer of 2010. Ekact timing and schedule of work will be
coordinated by Met Council to minimize disruption to adjacent property owners and to keep CC
LRT on schedule.
