This will be an appropriate time frame to address the issues associated with this project and allow for increased community involvement and communications. 2003 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT There are several punch list items that will need to be completed. These are mainly driveway and sod repairs. There are two short street segments located on Groveland Road and Knollwood Drive, both just north of County Road I where more additional work is needed. These two locations are where Saint Paul Water Works has two very large (5’ in diameter) water pipes. Curbing will be added to both segments and the old bituminous, which was laid over a concrete slab, needs to be milled off and repaved on the segment on Knollwood Drive. Also, as required in the specifications, the wear course will be paved in July/early August of this year. The contractor will submit the paving schedule later this month. The paving process will take two to three days to complete weather permitting. Notice of the paving schedule will be sent to the affected property owners. 2005 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT On May 9, 2005 the City Council adopted Resolution 6520 approving the sufficiency of petition in opposition to the 2005 Street Improvement Project.
