Mounds View City Council June 24, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 7 • • Director Ericson indicated that the mill and overlay of County Road 10 would begin in early July. Public Works Director Lee indicated the project would be started on July 8, 2002. Director Ericson indicated there would be a new driving surface, more visible crosswalks and new striping. He also noted that Public Works Director Lee has been working with Ramsey County on the efficiency of the crossings. Director Ericson briefly reviewed the flooding issue with the trailway by Walgreen's and indicated that the problem is the trail is located in the floodplain. He then indicated the City has the option of leaving it alone and letting the water drain away or elevating the trail by two feet to get it above flood stage and putting a culvert under it. Director Ericson briefly reviewed the issues with the Mermaid trailway and indicated the property owner in Boston had been contacted for permission to move the trail onto their property. He then commented that, for now, the trail dead ends at a large pine tree. Council Member Marty asked whether the City could go around the tree or if it was coming out. Director Ericson indicated the tree is in an area that would hinder development efforts on that parcel and would need to come out. Director Ericson indicated Council would need to consider in August or September whether to survey all of the corridor right of way to be sure of all the obstructions, impediments and grading that would need to be done for the trailway to be connected. Council Member Thomas asked whether T21 dollars were applicable. Director Ericson indicated he thought they would be. Council Member Marty commented that the City is supposed to have a trailway along the north side of H2 and said he saw in the Public Works report the possibility of coming up Silver Lake Road and then asked whether that had been looked into. Director Ericson said he has not and yes. Council Member Quick asked what would flood first Walgreen's parking lot, the street or the Community Center pond. Director Ericson indicated it is not likely that flooding would reach the Walgreen's parking lot. He then said if it goes to the Community Center parking lot it is graded to flow to the storm sewer.
