515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Hanson & Members of the City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator DATE: December 16, 1994 RE: Keller Parkway Road Improvement Update MAYOR Raymond G. Hanson COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson On December 14, 1994, City staff met with Ken Haider, Maplewood Public Works Director, and Bob Boch, Ramsey County Public Works, to discuss the pending road improvement project of Keller Parkway. At this meeting, the following points were agreed to: * The project to be pursued will be based on a 32 foot wide roadway with two 11 foot driving lanes and two 5 foot paved shoulders. * Ken Haider will discuss with the City Council the proposed project. He expressed some concern about the tree impact to the Maplewood residents. * Some water ponding problems along the roadway need to be addressed by the County. Concern was raised regarding the potential to construct outlets to the lake given current storm water discharge regulations. The County will research this matter further. * Bob Boch indicated that slope easements may be needed in Little Canada on some of the properties where steep driveways exist. This will be evaluated by the County. * City staff emphasized our concern about speeding to the County. It was discussed that not much can be done from a physical design standpoint to limit speeding in this case. It was further indicated that the roadway is presently unsafe from a pedestrian standpoint and should be improved. The key to this problem appears to be enforcement. Ken Haider will discuss with the Maplewood Parks and Recreation Director his position on the trails and any potential tie in of the paved shoulders to their trail system. Page 198
