FEASIBILITY REPORT <br />WEST SHADOW LAKE DRIVE <br />STREET, STORM SEWER, SANITARY SEWER AND WATERMAIN <br />CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA <br />L INTRODUCTION GENERAL <br />The City Council authorized this updated Feasibility Report on May 14, 2007. The original <br />Feasibility Report was prepared on June 8, 2005. There are approximately 100 miles of <br />local streets that are maintained by the City of Lino Lakes. The older and more established <br />neighborhoods experience a gradual aging and deterioration of the existing infrastructure, <br />particularly the condition of the streets. As a result of this deterioration, maintenance costs <br />grow every year. Eventually, it becomes more cost effective to replace the infrastructure <br />rather than continue to maintain it. <br />Several years ago, the City of Lino Lakes recognized the need to establish a Pavement <br />Management and Street Reconstruction Program. The recently completed Pavement <br />Management Report provides an inventory and condition assessment of the City's streets <br />and identifies specific rehabilitation practices for specific streets at the most opportune <br />time. In the Twin Cities area, the majority suburbs have adopted and practiced such a <br />program for several years. The City of Lino Lakes has reached the stage where adoption <br />of a systematic program to maintain our existing infrastructure is vital to maintaining <br />property values. Accordingly, on May 9, 2005, the City Council accepted the Pavement <br />Management Report and Financing Report, adopted the Pavement Management Policies, <br />and established a Street Maintenance and Reconstruction Program. <br />The Pavement Management Plan targeted West Shadow Lake Drive for proposed <br />reconstruction. The OCI ratings for this street are below 43. This Project is part of the <br />City's existing 5 -year Capitol Improvement Program. The decision- making process to <br />authorize this Project consists of many steps including several public meetings and a <br />referendum in accordance with the City Charter. This process and the steps are explained <br />further within the context of this Report. <br />Page 1 13849.005 <br />
