Item No: 8H �,�T Meeting Date: October 14, 2019 MOL --NDS VI1�1�V Type of Business: CB Administrator Review: of Mounds View Staff R To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Public Works Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9176, Approving Stantec to complete the final Street Design and Prepare Plans and Specifications and Bidding documents for the 2020 Street Project (Quincy Street) Background/Discussion: The City is in the process of rehabilitating streets throughout the City that were not included in the 2007 Street Rehabilitation Plan. The 2020 proposed project includes Quincy Street from County Road H2 to County Road I. Quincy Street is approximately 2,660 feet in length. The street segment has concrete curb and gutter (MN/DOT Design B618) with a bituminous pavement surface measuring 44 -feet wide average back - to - back of curb. Quincy Street was originally constructed in 1967 and serves Pinewood Elementary School along with several residential properties. Maintenance has included seal coating, pothole patching and skim coating as needed. The current pavement is in poor condition with significant surface patching, potholes, and moderate to high severity traverse cracking and pavement heaving. Discussion: The City Council approved Stantec to perform engineering services for the street project on July 8, 2019. Quincy Street currently has a 14' wide drive lane and 8' parking on both the east side and west side of the street. The proposed street design provided by Stantec, will narrow the overall width of the street by 4'. This 4' will be added to the East side by installing boulevard behind the curb and expanding the current sidewalk to 6'. The drive lanes will be 12' wide and the parking will remain at 8' wide on both sides of the street. City Staff along with Stantec have been working with the Mounds View School District on the street design and driveway entrances at Pinewood Elementary School. The School district had indicated that Pinewood Elementary is scheduled to have some parking lot improvements next year (2020). In working with the school district, the needed ROW was re -acquired in order to have the sidewalk improvements completed in front of the school. In addition, a "bump out" will be added on Quincy Street, at the cross walk that serves the neighborhoods to the West of the elementary school. This will greatly enhance pedestrian safety by provide a refuge for pedestrians crossing the street along with narrowing the street at the area needed for pedestrians to cross.
