Resolution 97-032, re: Street Improvements for 33rd Avenue NE between Silver Lake 22 Road and Highcrest Road. 23 Mr. Bob Moberg, Rieke Carroll Muller Associates, presented the Feasibility Report for this 24 project. The project will consist of pavement rehabilitation and planning similar to that done 25 on 37th Avenue. An exposed aggregate crosswalk is proposed for the corner of 33rd Avenue 26 and Silver Lake Road and the intersection at 33rd Avenue and Rankin Road. Existing 27 sidewalks will be replaced with a five foot wide concrete sidewalk. The sidewalk on 33rd 28 Avenue will be extended from Skycroft Drive to Highcrest Road. 29 Mayor Ranallo asked if the exposed aggregate was more expensive. 30 Mr. Moberg stated he believed it was and that a cost study would be performed. 31 Mr. Moberg explained that in order to accommodate the sidewalk improvements on 33rd 32 Avenue NE between Rankin Road and Skycroft Drive, a masonry retaining wall and chain 33 link fence would have to be installed. There is also an area near Highcrest Road where white 0- pines are located and a retaining wall will be necessary in this location so as not to harm the trees. Mr. Moberg noted the new sidewalks in the project will be placed adjacent to the curb, 36 minimizing the disturbance to adjoining property and avoiding removal of trees.
