2019 Annual Report • Public Works Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />III. Engineering <br />The City of St. Anthony utilizes WSB & Associates, Inc. for engineering and consulting services <br />on many of the city’s construction and improvement projects. Engineering activities in a typical <br />year include: street and utility reconstruction; storm water quality and flood improvements; <br />chip sealing of roadways; and other infrastructure related improvements. In 2019 the city <br />completed a number of these infrastructure projects including: <br /> <br /> FLOOD REDUCTION IMPROVEMENTS <br />The City has identified several areas that have the need for increased levels of flood protection. <br />The City has completed the improvements for many of these locations, yet there still remain a <br />few projects that are being addressed as financing and adjacent infrastructure is upgraded. In <br />the summer of 2019, the City along with Ramsey County, the Rice Creek Watershed District <br />(RCWD), and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources began construction of the Silver <br />Lake Road Flood Reduction Improvements Project and was completed in the fall of 2019. <br /> <br />Silver Lake Road Flood Reduction Improvements <br />Flood improvements on Silver Lake Road consist <br />of the installation of new storm sewer and catch <br />basins along the east side of Silver Lake Road <br />from approximately 250 feet south of Silver Lane <br />to approximately 600 feet north of Silver Lane to <br />address flooding within the roadway. Larger rain <br />events cause the low area of Silver Lake Road to <br />flood causing concern for motor vehicle safety and <br />causing property damage to several homes <br />located east of Silver Lake Road. This project is a <br />cooperative project that is being funded by the City <br />of St. Anthony, Ramsey County, Rice Creek Watershed District and the Minnesota Department <br />of Natural Resources.
