Neighborhood Meeting Minutes <br />Arcade Street Reconstruction Improvement 94 -2 <br />Little Canada City Hall <br />October 30, 1996 - 7:30 p.m. <br />A neighborhood meeting was held with residents of Arcade Street between Keller Parkway <br />and County Road D to discuss street reconstruction in this area including the installation of <br />curb and gutter and drainage improvements. Water main is also being considered between <br />Keller Parkway and LaBore Road. An 8' path is proposed between Keller Parkway and <br />County Road D. Those present representing participating jurisdictions included: <br />Ken Haider, Maplewood Public Works Director <br />Cliff Aichinger, Administrator of the Ramsey/Washington Metro Watershed District <br />Jerry Bourdon, Little Canada City Engineer <br />Paul Heuer, Little Canada City Engineer <br />Scott Tangen, Little Canada Public Works Director <br />Joel Hanson, Little Canada City Administrator <br />The City Administrator welcomed those present to the neighborhood meeting. He explained <br />that Arcade Street was a turn -back from Ramsey County and is now being proposed for <br />reconstruction given its poor condition. He explained that improvements to County Ditch 7A <br />as well as other drainage issues were being addressed by this project. Water main from <br />Keller Parkway to County Road D is also being proposed. Lastly, an 8' path to provide a <br />safe connection for bikes and pedestrians from paths under the NSP power line to Gervais <br />Lake was also being proposed. <br />Heuer explained the layout of the proposed project pursuant to documentation contained in <br />the feasibility report dated October 1996. (Handout sheets summarizing some of the key <br />information distributed to those present. A copy is attached.) He emphasized that the <br />purpose of tonight's meeting was to discuss the proposed project and receive input from <br />affected residents so that the City can plan for implementation. <br />A question was raised on the use of barrier curb versus surmountable curb. Heuer explained <br />that barrier curb is used in a built up residential area whereas surmountable curb is used in <br />new developments where driveway openings are unknown. <br />Heuer explained that two properties along Arcade Street between Keller Parkway and LaBore <br />Road will need sewer services. Plans are to incorporate those into this project. He also <br />emphasized that water main along a portion of Arcade Street will need to be lower due to <br />regrading of the street surface. The street itself is being lowered to better match yards and to <br />accommodate drainage needs. This reduction in elevation does not leave enough cover on the <br />existing water main. The typical reduction in street grade will be between 0 and 2 feet. A <br />proposed street profile was reviewed with those present. <br />Page 58 <br />
