Streets and Utilities Committee Recommendations <br />October 6, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br />After a lengthy discussion of the memo, the Committee asked what would be <br />required in order to re-stripe Red Oak Drive to three lanes (i.e. 1 northbound thru <br />lane, 1 southbound left turn lane, and 1 southbound thru-right turn lane), which is <br />the proposed ultimate configuration based on the CSAH 10 Corridor Study <br />performed in 2005. <br />Discussion on the lane configuration was postponed so Staff could review the <br />possibility of constructing the ultimate 3-lane configuration as part of the Project. <br />Staff prepared an updated memo entitled Red Oak Drive South of Hillview Road <br />(Non-Standard Width), dated September 10, 2008, which was discussed by the <br />Streets and Utilities Committee at their meeting on September 15, 2008. Again, <br />due to its length the memo is not included here. <br />The memo described the additional issues and costs associated with <br />constructing the segment of Red Oak Drive south of Hillview Road to a three lane <br />configuration as described above, in lieu of constructing it to the existing <br />configuration of one northbound and one southbound lane. <br />Because this segment of Red Oak Drive intersects with County Road 10, <br />Ramsey County would need to review and approve the proposed improvements. <br />Based on discussions with Ramsey County, they would approve of the re-striping <br />contingent on the City performing and paying for the following items: <br />x Remove the 7 existing signal loop detectors and replace with 6 new signal <br />loop detectors on Red Oak Drive between County Road 10 and Hillview <br />Road <br />x Extend the signal mast arm at the SW corner of County Road 10 and <br />Silver Lake Road so the signal head is centered between the southbound <br />lanes on Red Oak Drive <br />x Restripe and add signage to northbound Silver Lake Road. <br />x Restripe and add signage to southbound Red Oak Drive <br />Attached Figure 1 shows the required improvements in order to restripe Red Oak <br />Drive to the desired 3 lane configuration discussed above. <br />These additional requirements will add approximately $13,500 to the overall <br />project costs. A summary of the costs are shown in the following table. <br />Remove and Replace Loop Detectors $6,500 <br />1.5" Mill and Overlay $1,500 <br />Extend Signal Mast Arm $2,500 <br />Restripe and Add Signage on Silver Lake Road $2,000 <br />Restripe and Add Signage on Red Oak Drive $1,000 <br /> Total $13,500
