J ~>(, CLEVELAND AVENUE FEASIBILITY REPORT Maurer briefly commented on items in his letter dated September 5, 1990 relating to the final draft of the Cleveland Avenue feasibility report. Dan Soler of Ramey County Public Works reviewed the project which originally provided for a 52 foot wide street with four traffic lanes which would allow no space for a pathway without obtaining additional right-of-way from the University of Minnesota. He explained that the Minnesota Department of Transportation anticipates amending their design standards which would allow decreasing the width of the street, .and the County's proposal for Cleveland Ave. has been amended to provide for construction of a 48 foot roadway .with two traffic lanes and a center turn lane. This would allow space for a s pathway on the east side of Cleveland without obtaining additional right-of-way and would address the City of Roseville's objection to a four lane roadway. The amended plan would increase the cost to Falcon Heights due to the fact that the County funding policy provides for payment of 1000 of travel lanes but only 25% for shoulders. The increased cost to the City for the narrower roadway would be approximately $39,000. Council discussed whether or not it was prudent to construct a pathway at a cost of $39,000, and other possible options. Following the discussion Jacobs moved, seconded by Wallin, that Ramsey County be requested to come back with a design for a 52 foot roadway, striped for • two lanes, with a center turn lane which would reduce the City's financial responsibility. Upon a vote being taken the following voted in favor thereof: Jacobs, Gehrz and Wallin, and the following voted against the same: Baldwin and Ciernia. Motion carried. HAf9LINE AVENUE PROJECT TO BE DISCUSSED AT 9/26/90 COUNCIL MEETING Baldwin asked Mr. Soler why Hamline Avenue, which is scheduled for reconstruction in 1991, could not be narrowed to 48 feet if the criteria is being amended. Soler replied that it would require preparing new plans which would be costly and that the County has some time constraints in using their bonding funds. Council requested that the item be placed on the next Council Agenda. DeMARTINO LIABILITY CLAIM TO BE SUBMITTED TO CITY'S INSURANCE CARRIER Baldwin explained that Marvin DeMartino, 1345 W. California, has submitted a claim to the City for repair of the sewer line at his residence. Mr. DeMartino was of the opinion that the City should pay for the repair as the break was in the area where the cast iron pipe from the house connected to the clay pipe installed by the City in 1958. He also felt it was damaged by heavy equipment at the time Hamline Avenue was reconstructed
