4.2_ 33'd Avenue N.E. Proposed improvements for 33'd Avenue include a number of different ' repair methods for the concrete pavement, all of which are identified as Mn/DOT 1999 Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation Standards. The ' rehabilitation standards depict various joint, crack, surface, edge repair and replacement.These are the standards used during the report phase and will also use for the plan preparation phase. Estimation of different repair methods, reinforcement replacement, crack repair and joint sealing is an estimating process by the engineer based upon his perception looking at the top of the various concrete panels. During construction, it is possible that the designated repair for a particular panel or area could become more or less or a different type of repair would be required than originally estimated. It is therefore important during the construction phase for full- ' time inspection and willingness to be flexible once the repairs get underway. After all necessary repairs or replacements have been made and new concrete panels placed have properly cured,diamond grinding or concrete planing will be performed to smooth out rough spots and differential settlement locations to significantly improve ridability. Areas where curb and gutter is deteriorated will be replaced and new catch basins and manholes placed into new concrete panels. 5.0 Construction Residents living adjacent to the project will be inconvenienced by construction of the proposed improvements. Through good communication and coordination, this inconvenience will be minimized. Traffic control and detour plans will be developed to guide traffic through and around the construction zone. A neighborhood informational meeting was held at City Hall on October 28, 1999 to discuss the project,describe the traffic control and answer any questions that the affected residences had. The construction will be phased to keep half the street open at all times. Local access will be maintained at all times, although individual driveway entrances may be blocked from time to time. Residents will be notified in advance of all driveway closures. Currently Metro Transit Route Number 1 has a total of 24 daily trips ' between Stinson Boulevard and Silver Lake Road along 33'd Avenue NE. The split is equal with a total of 12 buses going in each direction. Dick 33rd Avenue Improvements Silver Lake Road to Stinson Boulevard A-SANTH9902.00 St. Anthony, Minnesota Page 6
