Park/Public Works Equipment: Staff recommends the replacement of the 1-Ton pickup truck, on the regular 7-year schedule of replacement for vehicles. This is aplace-holder at $30,000. Infrastructure Capital Improvements Sidewalks: No change. Curbs: No change. Corner Markers/Street Signs: This would cover the replacement of every street sign/corner marker in the city. These would be high- visibility 4-foot long blades with the city logo. Staff is investigating color options, but the council may wish to consider differentiating between Roseville and St. Paul by choosing a color other than green for the signs. This project is recommended by the Fire Department, as the old signs have lost their reflectivity, and are no longer visible at night. In addition, they are recommending that the new signs include the high and low street number on each sign to better aid firefighters in fmding addresses. This upgrade will also make it easier for mutual-aid departments from other cities to fmd addresses. Hamline Avenue: We anticipate reconstructing Hamline Avenue as part of the 2005 RSVP (Residential Street Vitality Program) through St. Paul. The estimated cost for this project is $137,000. The entire cost will be covered by MSA funds ($49,500) and Ramsey County turnback funds ($87,500), which are listed as a revenue offset on the CIP Fund for Infrastructure. There is a chance that this project will be done in 2006, depending on scope of work, and the speed with which the contractor can complete the improvements down-stream in St. Paul's storm sewer system. If that happens, we will carry it over to 2006. Roselawn Avenue: We are estimating a $500,000 cost for the reconstruction of Roselawn Avenue. This project can be covered by the MSA Fund ($506,000). Staff is currently in discussions with Roseville about this project, and anticipates that it will occur in 2006. That date could change, depending on Roseville's schedule of projects. ~~
