utilized as part of the improvement or if a full reconstruction is the only effective means <br />of improvement. A review of the storm sewer would also be completed to determine if <br />options exist for alleviating some of the flooding issues on the south end of the street <br />without negatively impacting downstream systems. Lastly a determination will be made <br />if the improvement could be delayed until after the completion of the Rice Street Bridge <br />project and be incorporated with the improvement of Country Drive. <br />As with all the street improvement projects over the last few years a public informational <br />meeting would be held with abutting property owners to discuss the proposed <br />improvements and receive input. We would also like to request authorization to conduct <br />these public informational meetings in order to include the information in the feasibility <br />report. <br />The City is also looking at the improvement of several public parking lots as part of next <br />years street project. The Spooner Park upper parking lot by the ball field is proposed to <br />be fully reconstructed and brought up to City standards including perimeter curb. This <br />lot is utilized by the school, but lies completely within the City's property. We anticipate <br />discussing cost sharing of the project with the school district. The New Fire Hall upper <br />lot is proposed to be rehabilitated by mill and overlay with minor spot corrections. The <br />west parking lot in Pioneer Park is being reviewed for the most cost effective <br />maintenance improvement. While there is significant deterioration of the lot in some <br />areas, other areas of the lot are in relatively good condition. It is estimated a full <br />reconstruction of the parking lot would cost in the neighborhood of $180,000 and lesser <br />alternatives are being reviewed to extend the life of the lot more cost effectively. <br />If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 763- 780 -0450 Ext. 3. <br />10062 Flanders Court NE - Blaine, MN 55449 - (763) 760-0450 fax (763) 205.2341 <br />Z:\PROJ \120155E -2012 guest Improvements \0030 \Memo - 102111 -CC -Into Meeting Authorizalion.doc <br />
