2025 Public Works Projects: <br />Street Improvement Project – Stoneridge Court, Maple Leaf Court, Nadeau Road, and <br />County Road D from Greenbrier to Highway 61 will be reconstructed. Bolton & Menk is <br />leading all four projects and another smooth construction season is anticipated. <br />County Road B Lift Station – The lift station is basically at capacity as things stand right <br />now. The possible addition of the Lupe apartment project means the lift station will not be <br />able to handle peak flows. Bolton & Menk has put a plan together to replace some of the <br />incoming pipes, replace the force main that crosses Highway 36, and make changes to the <br />lift station and wet well to enable the handling of more flow. <br />Maple Leaf Court Pond Cleanout – the Maple Leaf Court pond will be cleaned out in the <br />coming weeks by a contractor working for the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed <br />District (RWMWD). The RWMWD has an annual pond cleanout program that cities within <br />the district can participate in. The District handles all testing of materials, project plans <br />and specifications, project management, and inspection, and cities pay for the work on their <br />respective ponds. It saves staff a lot of time and effort and some economies of scale are <br />achieved when numerous ponds are included in the project. <br />Booster Station Controls – The control panel at the Booster Station requires an upgrade to <br />newer technology. One of the Public Works staff has vast experience in controls and will <br />be able to assist in the upgrade. <br />Country Drive/Little Canada Road/County Road C/35E Interchange – This will be another <br />year when no physical work takes place but it will be a very busy year for Bolton & Menk <br />as it puts the plans and specifications together. That will include possible easement and <br />right-of-way acquisitions and coordination with numerous outside entities including <br />utilities, St. Paul Regional Water Services, MnDOT, Ramsey County, and others. <br />2025 Parks Projects: <br />Thunder Bay Trail Boardwalk Connection – In coordination with the City of Maplewood, <br />the Thunder Bay Boardwalk is due for replacement. It is currently in disrepair. Staff is <br />working closely with Bolten and Menk to acquire grant funding to cover up to $250,000 of <br />this project. Maplewood is covering 50% of the consulting services and 40% of the project <br />costs. Little Canada is covering 50% of the consulting services and 60% of the project cost. <br />These percentages reflect the amount of boardwalk on city property and are the same <br />percentages used in the initial 2008 project. <br />Pioneer Park Vegetation Restoration and Stormwater Improvements – Initially identified <br />in the Pioneer Park Phase 1 Masterplan, the Vegetation Restoration and Stormwater <br />improvements at Pioneer Park cover the Northern section of the park. The concept that <br />was selected was a complete scrub of unwanted vegetation, replacement with native <br />species, and installation of a pond system. This concept is most attractive because of its <br />sustainable attributes. It would accept water feature discharge into the pondage system that <br />would then link to the irrigation reuse pond. An open house for this project took place on <br />January 21st at City Hall. <br />Veterans Memorial Park Bubbler System Replacement – Full replacement of the current <br />basin/water collection system to a concrete system. The system installed in 2021 has <br />failed and is unable to hold water properly, causing the large wall blocks to be pushed out <br />from their original placement. The new system should hold or displace water properly to <br />avoid any damage or maintenance issues in the near future.
