MOUNDS VIEW NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS REGARDING PROPOSED SIDEWALK LOCATION ON EDGEWOOD DRIVE The Mounds View City Council will be discussing the location for constructing a concrete sidewalk in front of your property at their regular meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Monday - October 26, 2009 in the Council Chambers at City Hall (2401 Highway 10). A 6-1/2 foot concrete sidewalk will be constructed on the east side of Edgewood Drive as part of the Streets and Utilities Improvement Project scheduled for next year. The Streets and Utilities Committee has made a recommendation to have a 5-foot wide grass boulevard between the back of curb and sidewalk edge from Woodale Drive to County Road H2 (house numbers 5200-5292). An example of a 5-foot wide grass boulevard is shown below (Bronson Drive). F Tom, This grass boulevard option is being considered for the following reasons: a 1 Provides room for mailboxes, traffic signs, garbage/recycling containers, snow storage, and future streetlights and/or boulevard trees. • Prevents sidewalk from undulating (rising and falling) at driveway crossings, whereby decreasing tripping = _ hazards and City liability with ADA regulations. • Safety - provides more separation between moving vehicles and pedestrians. Example of grass boulevard (Bronson Dr.) If a grass boulevard option is approved, the sidewalk will be moved approximately 4 to 5 feet closer to your house than the non-boulevard option. However, with the grass boulevard option, the proposed street will be shifted approximately 1 to 2 feet further away from your house than with the non-boulevard option. In either case, all sidewalk will be located entirely within City right-of-way (property) and no trees will be removed.
