Nine new picnic tables and two grills were ordered and will be installed in early October by Public Works staff. The new layout will have a seating capacity of 70 versus the existing seating capacity of 48. Tables were received and assembled, and will be installed in the upcoming weeks. • Irrigation Improvements: Expand irrigation system to cover various locations including around shelter and new playground. 2014 Budget: $10,000 (PDF).

Hillview Park • Reroof Shelter: Replace asphalt shingle roof with new. This was originally budgeted for 2013 and unable to be completed prior to winter. Estimated cost is $8,500 which could be covered with 2014 budget under-runs or by amending the adopted budget. BBC donation of $1,785 (Feb. 2014). Received three quotes on 8/21 ranging from $7,960 to $12,220. Contract awarded to low quote by Twin City Roofing on 8/25. Construction started 9/22 and is scheduled to be completed on 9/26. Reroofing is complete and on- budget. City Hall Campus • Irrigation & Landscaping Improvements: The front of City Hall is planned to have new landscaping features installed and irrigation system expanded to cover dead spots and the portion of the park between City Hall and County Highway 10 (volley ball area). 2014 Budget: $25,000 (Spec. Projects Fund). Met with landscape architects in July to develop scope of work. Groveland Park • Tennis/Basketball Court Rehabilitation (Design): Involves evaluation, design, and bidding documents for option selected, to be constructed in 2015. 2014 Budget: $15,000 (PDF). Evaluating scope of work and developing better cost estimates. Obtaining fee proposals for soil borings and pavement recommendation. Trails/Sidewalk • Ardan Avenue (Red Oak to Long Lake Road): The City Council approved the addition of a six-foot sidewalk to the north boulevard of the Ardan Avenue reconstruction in Area G of the street project (2/24). Engineering staff recommended that this be re-evaluated since it was not previously approved with the non-standard street design. A “shared-use” parking lane is included on the south (eastbound) side. • Long Lake Road (Red Oak to Eastwood): This high priority “missing link” is planned to be constructed with the 2014 Area G Street Project. Public Works is soliciting property owner feedback and will recommend a 5-foot bike lane and 6-foot concrete sidewalk with barrier curb between. Engineering met with Ramsey County Public Works on 2/20 to discuss improvements. RCPW has issues with the addition of curb and indicated this section of Long Lake Road will be rehabilitated in the next year or two, at which time RCPW will widen out the shoulder to accommodate on-street pedestrian/bicycle traffic. • County Road H Sidewalk (Silver Lake Road to Edgewood Drive): Public Works is pursuing a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) grant to cover 80% of construction costs. This is a competitive grant and the application is due by the end of January 2014. Estimated project costs: $275,000. Grant application submitted – award notices anticipated in June/July 2014. Unsuccessful at obtaining SRTS grant. Project deferred until 2015. Met with Ramsey County Public Works to coordinate design details and cost share in October. • Trailway Maintenance: Public Works is planning to crack seal and seal coat most of the asphalt pavement trailways in Mounds View. Allied Blacktop awarded contract for $23,630 on 7/14. Fog sealing of all city trails except Silver View Park and County Road I (west of Silver Lake Road) was completed in September. Randon Park, City Hall, and Community Center parking lots were also included in the project.
