Title
INITIATE PROJECTS FOR THE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - 2019 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Background
Staff is proposing a project to reconstruct various streets throughout the city as shown on the enclosed map. These streets have all reached the end of their useful lives and need reconstruction. The streets consist of a variety of types; residential streets with concrete curb and gutter, bituminous curb or no curb and rural streets with ditches and no curb and gutter. As a result, the method of reconstruction will vary between the streets and will be further explained in the feasibility reports.
Staff is recommending that the 2019 street reconstruction projects be composed of the following city streets as shown on the enclosed map:
• Jefferson Street from 119th Avenue to 104th Court
• 105th Avenue from Jefferson Street to University Avenue
• 115th Avenue from Jefferson Street to Tyler Street
• Quincy Street from 115th Avenue to 113th Avenue
• Tyler Street from 115th Lane to 113th Avenue
• Clover Leaf Parkway from TH 65 to 99th Avenue
• Lincoln Street and Ulysses Street in Aquatore Park
• 93rd Lane from TH 65 to Isanti Street
• Baltimore Street from 105th Avenue to approximately 575 ft north of 105th Avenue
• Aberdeen Street from 117th Avenue to 125th Avenue
• Ulysses Street from Paul Parkway to approximately 750 ft south of 125th Avenue
• Buchanan Street from Paul Parkway to 123rd Avenue
• Quail Creek Parkway from Radisson Road to Palisade Court
• Radisson Road from 123rd Lane alignment to cul de sac
• Tournament Players Parkway from 109th Avenue to Radisson Road
• Flanders Street from 95th Avenue to Rice Creek Parkway
• Rice Creek Parkway from Flanders Street to Xylite Street
• Xylite Street from Rice Creek Parkway to 85th Avenue
• 91st Avenue from Xylite Street to Bataan Street
• Jamestown Street from 93rd Avenue to cul de sac
• 94th Lane from Jamestown Street to Harpers Court
• Harpers Court from 94th Lane to cul de sac
• Ball Road from 104th Avenue alignment to Lever Street
• Lever Street from Ball Road to North Road
• 103rd Lane from Lever Street to Sunset Avenue
• National Street from 103rd Lane to 105th Lane
• 104th Avenue from National Street to Sunset Avenue
• 104th Lane from National Street to Rockney Street
• Rockney Street from 104th Avenue to 104th Lane
• 101st Lane from Quito Street to Sunset Avenue
• Quito Street from North Road to 101st Lane
The above streets will not be grouped into one single project. Staff will group the streets into multiple separate projects, taking into account such factors as type of reconstruction needed and location. Feasibility reports will then be prepared for each separate project.
The proposed projects would be funded through a combination of assessments to benefitting properties, State Aid funds and the Pavement Management Program (PMP) capital improvement plan funds.
If approved, this resolution initiates the proposed 2019 street reconstruction projects and orders preparation of feasibility reports.
Recommended Council Action
By motion, approve the Resolution.
