515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: May 5, 1995 <br />RE: Keller Parkway Update <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Sealze <br />Jim LaValie <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />As has been written in recent publications, the City of Maplewood <br />chose to go with 11 foot driving lanes and 3 foot paved shoulders <br />for their portion of the Keller Parkway road maintenance project. <br />The County has indicated to me that this is within MSA design <br />standards which allow an 11 foot driving lane as long as 3 foot <br />shoulders exist with at least 2 feet paved. However, the <br />shoulder paving agreements that our respective cities are <br />executing does not include a portion of Keller Parkway and Arcade <br />Street south of Co. Rd. C down to Highway 36. (see map attached) <br />The County has indicated that there is no additional cost to the <br />City by paving the shoulders in this area given the turn back <br />agreements, but they would like our input as to the shoulder <br />width to be used. Given each city's respective position for the <br />balance of Keller Parkway, they would hope that a standard <br />shoulder width could be used for each side of the roadway through <br />this area. Dan Schacht, of Ramsey County Public Works, did state <br />that a variable shoulder width (i.e. 5 feet in Little Canada, 3 <br />feet in Maplewood) is workable, but not their preference. <br />As a result of the County's inquiry, I informed them that I would <br />bring this matter before the Council to determine if any <br />modifications from our previous position are necessary. Your <br />input on this matter at Wednesday's meeting would be appreciated. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Enclosure <br />Page 14 <br />
