4 II. Department Divisions <br />2014 Annual Report · Public Works Department · St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br />ENGINEERING DIVISION <br />2013-2014 Citywide Engineering Projects: <br />Silver Lake Carp Project <br /> In 2012 the City began the Silver Lake Bio Manipulation Project: Carp Removal through a partnership <br />with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR), Ramsey County Conservation District, <br />Rice Creek Watershed District, Three Rivers Park District, and the cities of St. Anthony Village, New <br />Brighton and Columbia Heights. In January 2013 permits were secured and initial lake analysis was <br />conducted. During the spring of 2013 initial carp tagging and population estimates were completed and <br />a population assessment study was completed. The Carp Removal project is one piece of the puzzle to <br />assist with water quality issues within the lake. <br />Salo Park Storm Water Treatment <br />In 2013 the City of St. Anthony Village <br />was awarded a Safe Routes to School <br />(SRTS) planning grant by the Minnesota <br />Department of Transportation (MNDOT). The <br />SRTS program is aimed to improve safety, <br />reduce traffi c, and improve air quality near <br />schools. The assistance provided will help a <br />local SRTS team (including the City, School <br />District, school staff, parents and students) to <br />develop a Safe Routes to School Plan that will <br />identify projects and programs to enhance the <br />safety of our streets for children and families <br />that want to walk and bike to school. The <br />planning process began in late 2013 and will <br />extend into the 2014 school year. <br />Central Park Bio Swale <br />The City of St. Anthony worked with WSB <br />& Associates, Inc. to develop a web-based <br />geographic information system (GIS) mapping <br />tool for use by City Staff. This system allows <br />the City’s mapping system to be accessed <br />on the internet on desktop computers or via <br />Wifi on tablet and smartphone devices. It <br />enables staff to access and share information <br />such as hydrant locations, sanitary sewer and <br />water main lines, gate valve locations, sign <br />locations (for replacement) and other pertinent <br />data. Utilizing this web-based system also <br />makes updating information and data more <br />streamlined as staff will only need to update <br />the information in one location as opposed to <br />individual computers or electronic devices.
