2006 MSA RESURFACING 45TH STREET, JULEP AVENUE, 47TH STREET CITY OF LAKE ELMO, MINNESOTA I. INTRODUCTION In an effort to keep its streets in good condition, the City of Lake Elmo routinely performs timely maintenance to its streets. The City has developed a 5-year Capital Improvements Plan to schedule and budget for these repairs. The Plan was developed by the Public Works Department in conjunction with the Finance Department. The City Council has adopted the 5-year Plan, M.S.A.S. Route No. 104 from Jane Road to Keats Avenue was constructed in 1984, and continued from Keats Avenue to Kimbro Avenue in 1988. Currently, the surface of these streets are in poor condition. The roadway has experienced cracking and potholing of the bituminous surface. The entire route is 6,560 feet long. The roadway width is 24 feet with 4-foot gravel shoulders from Jane Road to Keats Avenue. The roadway is 24 feet wide with 4-foot bituminous shoulders from Keats Avenue to Kimbro Avenue. As -built record drawings indicate that there is 3-1/2 inches of bituminous with 6 inches of gravel base placed on the 1984 section, and 3-1/2 inches of bituminous with 8 inches of gravel base placed on the 1988 section. Resurfacing of these streets would be eligible for State Aid Funds. II. INITIATION The City Council initiated this Project. A 4/5th's vote of the City Council is necessary to --- order this Project. III. IMPROVEMENT Due to the amount of cracking and number of potholes from Jane Road to Keats Avenue, we propose removing the existing 3-1/2 inches of bituminous surface (by reclaiming), repairing the subgrade where necessary, and repaving with 2 inches of bituminous base and 1-1/2 inches of bituminous wear course. Also, in accordance with the Mn/DOT Bikeway Manual, we propose 4-foot paved shoulders, which is the minimum width to accommodate bicycle traffic. The street will be re -striped in accordance to Mn/DOT 1 13687.000
