AGENDA ITEM: Accept Preliminary Design Recommendations and Authorize Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the 2024 Collector Street Improvements SUBMITTED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer REVIEWED BY: Karissa Goers, Administrative Services Director Clarissa Hadler, Finance Director Marty Powers, Public Works Director Chad Isakson, Assistant City Engineer
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council accept the Preliminary Design Recommendations and Authorize Plans and Specifications for roadway each segment of the 2024 Collector Street
Improvements, and authorize the preparation of feasibility reports for the Hudson Boulevard Segment A Improvements and 15th Street North Improvements? BACKGROUND: On August 15, 2023, the City Council authorized the preliminary design engineering for the 2024 Collector Street Improvements consisting of three separate roadway segments; including Hudson Boulevard, from Inwood Avenue (CSAH 13) to approximately 1,350 feet east of Jade Trail; 15th
Street North, from the Oakdale City limits to Inwood Avenue (CSAH 13); and 30th Street North, from Lisbon Avenue to 650 feet west of Manning Avenue (CSAH 15). Each of these roadway segments were identified to be improved in 2024 in the City’s 10-year Street Capital Improvement Program. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: FOCUS Engineering and KLJ have completed the preliminary design work for the 2024 Collector Street Improvements, including detailed topographic surveys, review of existing pavement conditions, a preliminary review of stormwater management and drainage, a preliminary review and evaluation of existing and required right-of-way and easements, review of the geotechnical investigations completed by Braun Intertec, and a review of the as-built plans and approved
plans for adjacent street segments.
From this work, a preliminary design and layout has been prepared together with improvement
recommendations for each collector street segment, including proposed pavement rehabilitation, curb and gutter improvements, street widths, turn lanes, lane configuration, pedestrian pathways, and stormwater management. The preliminary findings and recommendations will be presented by staff at the council meeting and are summarized below:
• Hudson Boulevard Improvements – Segment A (“Project”). The Project includes either a 2-inch mill and overlay pavement rehabilitation or a full-depth reclamation (based on city discretion and budget), drainage improvements, and urbanizing the north side of Hudson Boulevard with a new bituminous trail. The Project will coordinate the design and construction with the segments of Hudson Boulevard to be improved through the Amira and Hendrix developments. From Jade Trail to the Hendrix development, approximately 1,300 feet of Hudson Boulevard will be widened to accommodate a 3-lane section with a two-way continuous turn lane due to the existing commercial access spacing. Stormwater
management will be required resulting in either a new storm water basin or reconfiguration and expansion of existing city storm water ponds. Due to the construction of the new bituminous trail, there will be small utility conflicts to address as well as limited temporary easement acquisition. It is intended that this improvement will be designed and constructed as a separate project and will be partially paid for through Municipal State Aid funds. Special assessments are recommended to be levied against benefitting commercial properties if a full-depth reclamation improvement is constructed.
• 15th Street North Improvements (“Project”). The Project includes a full-depth reclamation pavement rehabilitation with minor narrowing of the existing pavement surfaces. No storm water management will be required, no easement acquisition appears necessary and limited to no drainage improvements
are needed. It is intended that this improvement will be designed and bid together with the 30th Street North Gap Segment Improvements, and will also be partially paid for through Municipal State Aid funds. Special assessments are recommended to be levied against benefitting commercial and residential properties. The preliminary design work also reviewed the option to urbanize the north boulevard with the construction of a new bituminous trail, consistent with the 15th Street typical section existing at the border with Oakdale.
• 30th Street North Gap Segment Improvements. The Project includes pavement rehabilitation areas by full-depth pavement reclamation and by a 2-inch mill and overlay. The separate pavement rehabilitation method being driven by the existing pavement distresses. Similarly, there are areas that will receive full removal and replacement of concrete curb and gutter, and areas where newer curb and gutter will be
preserved. The existing trail along the south boulevard will be removed and replaced in its current location. No storm water management will be required, no easement acquisition appears necessary and limited to no drainage improvements are needed. Two options will be presented for potential
incorporation into the final design. The first option includes a new westbound left turn lane at Lisbon Avenue into the Heritage Farms subdivision. The second option includes a mill and overlay of Lisbon Avenue, north of 30th Street. It is recommended that this improvement be fully funded through cash and bonds with no Municipal State Aid allocation. No special assessments are recommended to be levied for this improvement.
FISCAL IMPACT: $172,200 for final design engineering support services; including $118,600 for the Hudson Boulevard Improvements – Segment A, $22,800 for the 15th Street North Improvements, and $30,800 for the 30th Street North Gap Segment Improvements. The projects are being funded through improvement bonds, the general tax levy and potentially a portion through municipal state aid funds.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council accept the Preliminary Design Recommendations and approve a Resolution authorizing the Preparation of a Feasibility Report(s) and Plans and Specifications for the Hudson Boulevard Improvements – Segment A and the 15th Street North Improvements, and authorizing the Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the 30th Street North Gap Segment Improvements.

Marty Powers, Public Works Director Preliminary Design Memorandum
Cc: Chad Isakson, PE, Assistant City Engineer Hudson Boulevard Improvements – Segment A
From: Jack Griffin, PE, City Engineer Project No. 2023.120
LOCATION: Hudson Boulevard North, from Inwood Avenue (CSAH 13) to approx. 980 feet west of Julia Avenue.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: Current posted speed 40 MPH.
2019 AADT from Inwood Avenue (CSAH 13) to Jade Trail is 7,300.
2019 AADT from Jade Trail to Julia Avenue is 5,467.
PROJECT SCOPE
Project includes pavement rehabilitation of approx. 0.71 miles (3,730 ft.) of commercial access frontage
road with full reconstruction in areas of roadway widening and turn lanes, to improve corridor consistency
and pedestrian access.
Pavement rehabilitation to be either full depth reclamation or mill and overlay.
Includes urbanizing north boulevard with concrete curb and gutter, 5‐ft. boulevard and 8‐ft. bituminous
trail to create a continuous bituminous trail from Inwood Avenue (CSAH 13) to Julia Avenue.
Includes coordination with other Private development projects, including Amira and Hendrix.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS/DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Pavement rehabilitation of approx. 0.71 miles (3,730 ft.) of collector road existing pavements, to include
either full depth reclamation with 8‐inch recycled base with 3‐1/2 inch bituminous, or 2‐inch mill and
overlay. Approx. 164,204 SF.
Widen roadway to accommodate 3‐lane section with two‐way continuous turn lane. Approx. 11,810 SF.
Roadway widening to be constructed to city standard collector pavement sections.
Includes approx. 2,800 feet new concrete curb and gutter.
Includes construction of 3,025 feet new bituminous trail, including ADA pedestrian ramps at crossings.
Storm sewer recommendations. The proposed improvements will increase impervious surfaces and
stormwater runoff that will require stormwater management mitigation in accordance with SWWD rules.
The urbanization of the north boulevard with new bituminous trail will alter drainage patterns within the
public right‐of‐way, requiring storm sewer piping to replace existing open ditches. The Final Design will
need to review if existing detention ponds have available excess capacity to accommodate the added
runoff. If not, then modifications to the existing detention ponds will be needed and/or a new BMPs
created. A potential location for a new detention pond was identified during the preliminary design phase.
Right‐of‐way/easements.
Permanent right‐of‐way acquisition may be required for new or expanded stormwater management.
Parcel 8650 Hudson Boulevard has been identified as a potential BMP site.
Permanent easements may be required for trail construction at 9200, 9220, and 9242 Hudson
Boulevard. This determination will require City Attorney review of the existing MnDOT right‐of‐way
turnback.
Temporary construction easements will be required for trail construction and driveways/approaches,
including 8500, 8550, 8511/8515, 8910, 8980 Hudson Boulevard, and 158 Jade Trail.
PAGE 2 of 3
Small/dry utility conflicts. The Project will require careful utility coordination with existing electrical and
telecommunication utility owners. The urbanization of the north boulevard and construction of the new
trail may incur several conflicts that require mitigation. Utility coordination efforts will be initiated at 30%
construction plans.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Project creates approx. 0.81 ac. (35,000 SF) new impervious surfaces.
Runoff rate increases: 0.86 cfs (2‐year); 0.76 cfs (10‐year); 0.58 cfs (100‐year).
Runoff volume increases: 0.110 ac‐ft (2‐year); 0.121 ac‐ft (10‐year); 0.131 ac‐ft (100‐year).
PAGE 3 of 3
Watershed is South Washington Watershed District (SWWD). Stormwater Management is required to
mitigate peak runoff rate and runoff volume increase.
Existing drainage patterns will be generally maintained. Reconfiguration of existing stormwater basins will
need to be evaluated.
SWWD Erosion and Sediment Control permit required.
NPDES Construction Permit required.
The Project poses potential wetland impacts, dependent upon the final stormwater design and sidewalk
location. Wetland delineation and wetland impact permits may be required.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Estimated 20‐year pavement loading is 1,314,000 ESALs.
Existing pavement section: 4 to 6 inches bituminous; 8 to 12 inches aggregate base. GE 14.7. 10‐Ton.
Existing R‐Value between 42 and 83 with 56 average.
Full Depth Pavement Reclamation (FDR). 8‐inch recycled base with 3‐1/2 inch bituminous. Based on the
testing performed and the in‐place pavement layer thicknesses, there is sufficient material to perform FDR.
The FDR approach provides a design life similar to that of reconstruction and is less expensive. It also
disrupts crack patterns, reducing the potential for reflective cracking. Structurally, the overall capacity of
the street meets 10 tons.
Mill and Overlay Improvement. Mill‐and‐overlay can be considered for the pavement rehabilitation with a
risk for reflection of any distresses that exists in the left‐in‐place pavement section to the surface of the
new pavement.
