AGENDA ITEM 7G
STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 14, 2001
TOPIC: Resolution No. 01 - 65, Ordering Preparation of a Feasibility Study
for the Elm Street Reconstruction Project.
VOTE REQUIRED: 4/5 Vote Required
BACKGROUND:
As we have discussed in the past, the reconstruction of Elm Street from Sunset
Avenue to Fourth Avenue is a high priority due to the proximity of Centennial
Middle School, the level of development in the area, and the amount of
pedestrian traffic using the current roadway. The primary funding source for this
work will be Municipal State Aid funds but assessments and trunk funds will also
be considered in the report.
Proceeding with the study of this roadway now also allows the City to take
advantage of the neighborhood involvement momentum related to the efforts by
St. Joseph's church related to traffic issues along Elm Street and Second
Avenue. During preparation of the report, neighborhood meetings will be held to
solicit input on the design of the proposed improvements. Staff will consider
"traffic calming" concerns along these roadways as part of the study.
The study will include not only the reconstruction of the roadway and related
drainage concems but will also consider sanitary sewer and watermain system
needs.
OPTIONS:
1. Retum to staff for further review.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 01 -65, Ordering Preparation of a Feasibility Study for
the Elm Street Reconstruction Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Option No. 2 - Staff recommends that Resolution No. 01 -65 be adopted.
