ARKWRIGHT - SUNRISE AREA IMPROVEMENTS CITY PROJECT 12 -09 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ARKWRIGHT STREET, BURR STREET, CLARK STREET, DESOTO STREET, HENDRY PLACE, HIGHWAY DRIVE, LARK AVENUE, LAURIE ROAD, MCMENEMY STREET, SUNRISE DRIVE, VIKING DRIVE Project Summary This feasibility report has been prepared for the Arkwright- Sunrise Area Improvement Project, City of Maplewood Project 12 -09. The above referenced streets total approximately 2.2 miles in length. The neighborhood area is generally bounded by Highway 36 to the North, Edgerton Street to the East, County Road B to the South, and Interstate 35E to the West. The proposed improvements include the following: 1) The full reconstruction of all streets listed above. Full reconstruction of these streets will include removal and replacement of the existing aggregate base and bituminous. The street reconstruction will also include sub grade corrections consisting of replacing the sub grade fill material with a sand sub base, drain tile, and a geo- textile fabric. 2) Concrete curb and gutter installation for all streets. 3) Street layouts that reflect the City's "Living Streets" policy. These layouts include narrower street widths and the addition of sidewalks on select neighborhood streets. The closure of Sunrise Drive at Edgerton Street is recommended to reduce the amount of cut - through traffic in the neighborhood. 4) Installation of a new storm sewer system throughout the neighborhood to relieve drainage Issues. 5) Evaluate and implement storm water best management practices as required to meet Ramsey - Washington Metro Watershed District and City of Maplewood requirements as well as the City's non - degradation and MS4 permit obligations. 6) Conduct repairs to the existing sanitary sewer system. The sanitary sewer system for the project area has a history of root intrusion and structural deficiencies. Review of the existing sanitary sewer system shows that spot repairs and lining of the main line will be required. 7) Conduct private sewer service televising, cleaning, and inspection as needed. Evaluate televising data to determine needs for sanitary sewer service repairs within the street right -of -way. 8) Conduct watermain replacement and repairs in the area in conjunction with Saint Paul Regional Water Services' ( SPRWS) capital improvement plan. SPRWS has identified approximately 7,500 linear feet of watermain replacement and 1,000 linear feet of watermain extension. SPRWS is currently evaluating other water system repairs, replacements, and enhancements for items such as gate valves, hydrants, curb stops and other system components. 9) Sidewalk along the south side of County Road B from Mississippi Street to Edgerton v 8
