v -,k Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 21, 1999 Page 5 1 Mr. Hartman added that there are three projects that are to be completed in the year 2000 as gen- 2, eral maintenance and upgrade of the City's transportation infrastructure. These include: 3 (1) Concrete rehabilitation of 33rd Avenue from Stinson Boulevard to Silver Lake Road. This 4 project may also include some sanitary and storm sewer improvements and will be completed as 5 has been done in the past with stamped concrete crosswalks. These types of crosswalks will be 6 implemented into additional projects. 7 (2) Reconstruction of the Silver Lake Road bridge north of 37`h Avenue. The plan is to replace 8 the water main from 37`h to Silver Lane to the west side, and incorporate sidewalks on the east 9 and replace the sidewalk on the west. 10 (3) Construction of a new traffic signal at the intersection of 37`h Avenue and Highcrest Road. 11 Calls from concerned residents prompted the idea for this project. The traffic signal will be 12 beneficial for children crossing the street. 13 Mr. Hartman stated he has been working with a firm on the design for a new public works 14 facility. He will be presenting the plans at the City Council work session on October 5, 1999. 15 Horst asked Mr. Hartman to clarify existence of storm water basins. Horst said that it appeared 16 that, even though homes were removed on St. Anthony Boulevard, there is simply an overflow 17 area. Mr. Hartman responded that the overflow swale directs water overland across St. Anthony 18 Boulevard and travels to a storm sewer. Future ponds will be on the corner of Paul and Wilson. 19 Horst asked Mr. Hartman about the status of the reconstruction of St. Anthony Village Shopping 20 Center. Mr. Hartman responded that he had not been involved in those discussions. 21 Bergstrom questioned Mr. Hartman about the residents' objections to sidewalks along 29`h 22 Avenue and the implementation of sidewalks along 33`d Avenue. Mr. Hartman responded that 23 there were not any known objections to the sidewalks along 33`d Avenue, as there were for 29' 24 Avenue. He further stated that he believed the residents along 291h Avenue objected to 25 sidewalks because they believed that their yards would be shortened. 26 Hanson said he was aware that Mr. Hartman had submitted the proposed public works budget to 27 the Council, but he wished to know what projects were on Mr. Hartman's short list for:the 28 coming year. Mr. Hartman responded that the Public Works Department has many projects, but 29 that projects for the City's parks would be a primary focus. 30 Bergstrom asked about the location for the new Public Works Facility. Mr. Hartman responded 31 that he believed the building would be at the same location. 32 Bergstrom asked Mr. Hartman if additional landscaping could be planted along 37' Avenue. Mr. 33 Hartman stated that part of that area is a County road, but he would investigate working with the 34 County on planting more trees for enhancement along 37`h Avenue.
