Office of: JOEL R. HANSON, Administrator 515 Little Canada Road Little Canada, MN 55117 612- 484-2177 FAX: 612 - 484 -4538 CITY OF LITTLE CANADA RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA MEMORANDUM TO: Joel Hanson, Mayor and City Council FROM: Dave Harris, Supt. of Public Works DATE: April 25, 1990 RE: Little Canada Road Overlay On Monday, April 23, I met with Ramsey County Public Works' Engineers to discuss their capital improvement programs as they pertain to the City of Little Canada and to discuss the proposed overlay of Little Canada Road. They explained to me that if they grind Little Canada Road, widen the shoulders, and overlay the street with a two inch bituminous mat, the project will be pushed so far down on the capital improvements list that they will not look at doing any more work on that road until the year 2002. The proposed overlay and widening of the street will not alleviate any of the ponding and run -off problems. However, if we inform them right now that we would prefer to have the road re- constructed and go along with their original capital improvement program, within the next five to six years, they will re- construct the road. Concrete curbing and a storm sewer drainage system would be installed to alleviate the ponding and run -off problems that we are now experiencing. It is my recommendation to proceed with re- construction instead of just the bituminous grinding and overlay that the County has scheduled. As for the work on County Road D, I do not see any problem with the grinding and overlay that the County wants to do because the ditch system is already set up along that street to alleviate the flooding and ponding problems.
