Mounds View, Minnesota Project No: 435-08132-0 <br />Red Oak Drive South of Hillview Road (Sidewalk Location)Page 2 <br />Attached Figure 1 shows the proposed sidewalk on the east side of Red Oak Drive. The <br />City standard 6.5-foot wide sidewalk would fit within the right-of-way of Red Oak Drive. <br />Approximately 450 square feet of temporary easement for grading and sloping purposes <br />would be needed at the southwest corner of the property on the east side of Red Oak <br />Drive. We anticipate the costs to acquire this easement could be as much as $900, or <br />$2 per square foot. <br />Since the proposed sidewalk will connect to the future trail along County Road 10 (a <br />separate project scheduled for construction in 2009) and will be in the County Road 10 <br />right-of-way, a Ramsey County permit will be required. We have discussed the proposed <br />improvements with Ramsey County and we do not foresee any problems obtaining a <br />permit from them. <br />The estimated project cost to construct a 6.5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on this <br />segment of Red Oak Drive is approximately $12,900.00, which includes the cost of the <br />temporary easement. <br />OPTIONS <br />Staff recommends a 6.5-foot wide concrete sidewalk be constructed in the boulevard of <br />Red Oak Drive, south of Hillview Road. This will offer a link between the future County <br />Road 10 bituminous trail and the pedestrian/bicycle corridor on Hillview Road and Red <br />Oak Drive. A decision needs to be made on the location of the sidewalk, based on one of <br />the following options: <br />x Construct sidewalk on east side of road <br />x Construct sidewalk on west side of road <br />x Construct sidewalk on both sides of road
