12 Beginning in December, the City will be collecting data from and evaluating the area along the County Road 10 corridor. This exploratory and investigative work will entail surveying the corridor and adjacent properties to determine elevations and noting existing objects in selected areas. City personnel and / or their representatives at the engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Andelik and Associates (BRAA) will perform this work. Background: On August 26, 2002, the City Council approved resolution No. 5824 adopting the County Road 10 Redevelopment and Revitalization Study. The City Council also named the implementation of this study as a strategic goal on the City Council Priority List for 2004. The County Road 10 Redevelopment / Revitalization Study was initiated several years ago. It was intended to provide the vision and long-term plan for this segment of County Road 10. The focus of the study was to evaluate the existing functions of this roadway corridor and determine if there was an opportunity to increase the development potential, increase the aesthetics of the area, increase safety along the roadway and at intersections, and provide a pedestrian corridor. The goals of the plan were to improve safety in the County Road 10 corridor, integrate the corridor by strengthening links to areas within Mounds View and the region, enhance the image of the corridor, expand economic development opportunities, and maintain and restore natural resource systems. Given that the overall corridor plan for County Road 10 has been developed, the next step in making the plan a reality is to develop and initiate an implementation plan. The City is currently working on this portion of the plan. Once the data had been collected, the City, along with the other agencies such as Ramsey County, will develop a draft proposal and schedule for upgrading various intersections along County Road 10 as well as adding pedestrian trailways on both sides (as called for in the approved plan). At that time, the City will hold public informational meetings and solicit input from interested parties. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this project.

This project did not follow a typical public improvement process. This project was bid in two separate parts – excavation and final restoration. This was done for two reasons: first, to allow for the project to proceed with an accelerated schedule and secondly, to save several thousands of dollars (approximately $20,000) A full report will be submitted to the City Council once all invoices have been submitted.
