• 8<Il3N~ ~ x:9;5 <br />SUMMARY OF PROPOSED LARPENTEUR AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS <br />BACKGROUND <br />• County road project will include the reconstruction from Dale Street on the east <br />almost to Highway 280 on the west. <br />• Four cities are involved including Falcon Heights, Roseville, Lauderdale and St. <br />Paul. <br />• Anticipated start date is the construction seasons of 1997 and 1998; the <br />project will be phased without the entire street disrupted over two year period. <br />• Access during construction for business owners, residents and State Fair users <br />will be addressed by the county as the project comes closer to actuality and the <br />schedule can be detailed. <br />• Financing will be a combination of federal funding, county state aid funds, city <br />assessments, capital funds and any grants available to'rthe city. <br />• KEY ELEMENTS IN THE PROPOSED ROADWAY DESIGN IN FALCON HEIGHTS FROM <br />HAMLINE AVENUE TO FULHAM STREET <br />• Continues to be the main east/west thoroughfare in the city. <br />• Constructed of concrete. <br />• Protected left turn lanes. <br />• Typical roadway width is 74 to 78 feet from curb to curb that is reconstructed <br />within the current right-of -way. (The current roadway is about 71 feet from <br />curb to curb.) It will vary where on-street parking is required. <br />• Bike travel space on shoulders. Four foot concrete shoulders with an additional <br />two feet of concrete between the shoulder and the curb will create a six foot <br />wide lane for bicycle travel. <br />• Pedestrian pathways (sidewalkst are planned along Larpenteur on at least one <br />side of the street; which side may vary depending upon the abutting land uses <br />that create the most pedestrian traffic and, therefore, require the most safety. <br />The current plans include sidewalks on two sides of the street east of Snelling <br />• Avenue. Sidewalk locations are still being studied. <br />
