11. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS PINE STREET PAVING IMPROVEMENTS (From: Lake Drive to 4th Avenue /Jodrell Street and Lake Drive to the Western Terminus) 1. BACKGROUND CITY OF COLUMBUS, MINNESOTA CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA In 2005 a petition was submitted for the paving of Pine Street. Both the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Columbus conducted surveys of the residents to determine support for the paving of Pine Street. City of Lino Lakes responses resulted in 25% for paving, 34% against paving, and 41 % did not respond. The residents in the City of Columbus voted 54% in favor of paving Pine Street from Lake Drive to the western terminus and 63% in favor of paving from Lake Drive to 4th Avenue /Jodrell Street. Due to a lack of interest no further action was taken by either the City of Lino Lakes or the City of Columbus. In April 2009, the City of Lino Lakes received a petition to research the costs of paving Pine Street. A survey was sent to Lino Lake's residents along Pine Street to gauge interested in the project. The survey responses resulted in 86% of the residents living east of the intersection of Pine Street and 4th Avenue /Jodrell Street being in favor of the project. Per the results of the survey, and communication with the City of Columbus the Lino Lakes City Council ordered preparation of a feasibility study for the paving of Pine Street from Lake Drive to 4th Avenue /Jodrell Street and Lake Drive to the Westem Terminus of Pine Street. The City of Columbus approved a motion to share the cost of completing the feasibility study. Past resident surveys and current interest in the City of Columbus have shown enough support to order the completion of a feasibility study. Once the feasibility study is complete, both the City of Columbus and the City of Lino Lakes will review the study and determine the next step in the improvement process. STREET IMPROVEMENTS: The existing gravel roadbed is approximately 26 feet wide from Lake Drive to 4th Avenue / Jodrell Street and then 24 to 26 feet wide from 4th Avenue / Jodrell Street to the west end 1 0014292.005 • • •
