On June 27, 2006, the St. Anthony City Council authorized the preparation of an engineering feasibility report for the 2007 Sidewalk and Street Lighting Improvement Proj ect. 3. EXISTING CONDITIONS Highcrest Road has existing concrete curb and gutter along the entire length of the project area.' Most of the existing boulevard area is about 8 feet to 10 feet wide with various street and traffic control signs. There are several yards with shrubbery and other plantings, particularly near the ends of their driveways. The Wilshire Elementary School is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of 37 1h Avenue NE and Highcrest Road has a wide, open yard area. There is a 750 -foot long section of Old Highway 8 at the south end of the project area that does not have concrete curb and gutter along either side of the roadway. There is a wide, shallow to moderately deep swale with culverts under driveways along the :northwest .side that drain to culverts under the roadway t0 the southeast. 4.1 Proposed Improvements The proposed improvements consist of placement of 5 -foot and 6 -foot wide concrete sidewalk along the west side of Highcrest Road and the north side of Old Highway 8. There will be about 600 linear feet of 5 -foot wide sidewalk with a boulevard between 37th Avenue NE and 3 6thAvenue NE along the school property. The sidewalk will then become 6 -feet wide starting immediately behind the back of the existing concrete curb south of 36th Avenue NE to the intersection with 33rd Avenue NE. There are too many existing trees, fences, slopes and other obstructions in this area to provide a boulevard and a 5 -foot wide sidewalk. South of 33rd Avenue NE we are proposing a 5 -foot wide sidewalk with a boulevard along the northwest . side of Old Highway 8 southeast to the intersection with the cutoff to County Road 88. The sidewalk will cross Old Highway 8 after the cutoff road and will transition to a 6 -foot wide sidewalk along proposed concrete curb and gutter to be placed along the existing edge of road southwest to and around the existing cul-de-sac at the end Rankin Road and will connect to the existing sidewalk along 29th Avenue N.E. Street lights will be placed along the west -side of Highcrest Road at all intersections and will be spaced about 200 -feet apart between intersections. Street lights will be spaced about 150 -feet apart on a staggered pattern along both sides of Old Highway No. 8 and at intersections. The project area is shown on .figure 1 and the typical section is shown on .figure 2 in Appendix A. 2007 SIDEWALK AND STREET LIGHTING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FEASIBILITY REPORT CITY OF ST.
