Background
At the July 20, 2020 City Council workshop, staff brought forward the Street Reconstruction Capital Improvement Program 2021-2025 which contained a list of proposed projects for the 2021 Pavement Management Program (PMP). The 2021 Street Reconstructions project consists of reconstruction of the following streets:
• Club West Parkway from 109th Avenue to Cloud Drive
• 105th Lane from National Street to Sunset Avenue
• Flanders Court from Radisson Road to 100th Court
• 100th Court from Flanders Court to cul-de-sac
• 93rd Lane Extension from to approximately 250 feet east of Anoka County - Blaine Airport Gate A to 85th Avenue
The project consists of a mix of city streets with concrete curb and gutter, a rural section street with no curb and gutter and a State Aid collector route. The method of reconstruction will vary between the streets and will be further explained in the feasibility report.
If approved, this Resolution initiates the proposed 2021 Street Reconstructions and orders the preparation of a feasibility report.
