MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 Joel R.

Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: November 3, 2000 <br />RE: Little Canada Road Update <br />Brian Harjes ofHoisington Koegler will be present at Wednesday's meeting to conduct a <br />review of the modified streetscape bid package for Little Canada Road. (Cost estimates <br />attached.) We have approximately $550,000 budgeted to complete this work. We have <br />asked our consultants to itemize components to give us the flexibility of eliminating those <br />that may jeopardize our budget. Based upon the comments made by the Parks & <br />Recreation Commission, they would include planters, benches, trash receptacles, fencing. <br />(See minutes attached.) <br />We also presented the option of using concrete pavers versus concrete sidewalk in front <br />of Lakeside Apartments between Middle Street and Market Place Drive. The reason <br />concrete pavers are being considered is that they will exist at both ends of this walkway. <br />However, the Parks & Recreation Commission felt that concrete sidewalk was more <br />appropriate for this area and it will yield us a $10,000 savings. <br />Delaying the completion of amenities by The Venetian Inn is also presented for your <br />consideration. Staff is concerned that the concrete pavers and plantings could be <br />damaged if redevelopment occurs on this site. We have proceeded with the installation <br />of the streetlights in this area as it will be easier to protect that improvement. The Council <br />will need to provide final direction on this matter as well. (Saves $17,000 but will need <br />to be provided for at a later date.) <br />A plan detail sheet is available at the City Center should you wish to review it prior to <br />Wednesday' s meeting. <br />Page 36 <br />
