Hanson City Engineer Ivlr..Lee Elfering Deputy Clerk Ms.I<athy Glanzer IMP. NO. Mayor Fahey opened the Public Hearing to consider the improvement 2004-10 of Middle Street from Little Canada Road to Market Place Drive by MIDDLE road reconstruction, watermain, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage STREET improvements. The City Engineer reviewed the existing conditions as well as the proposed improvements as proposed iu Middle Street Option 1 which includes on-street angle parking with sidewalk on the west side of the street and Option 2 which eliminates the on-street parking and continues to show sidewalk on the west side of the street. The City Administrator noted that our original concept for Middle Street had angle parking along the entire west side of (Little Canada Road to Market Place Drive). However, with US Bank remaining, disruptions are needed for First Bank Drive, US Bank's drive-through lane, and an opening to the Sherman development. The City Engineer noted that the on-street parking would provide for only I4 parking spaces given these openings and would be a maintenance problem. The on-street parking also adds approximately $20,000 to project costs.
