WSB <br />Infrastructure ■ Engineering . Planning x Construction <br />Memorandum <br />To: Honorable Mayor, City Council and Staff <br />City of St. Anthony pillage <br />From: Todd E. Hubmer, PE, City Engineer <br />Date: November 7, 2007 <br />Re: Street Reconstruction Task Force Conclusion <br />WS13 Project No. 1626-03 <br />701 Xenia Avenue South <br />Suite 300 <br />Minneapolis, MN 55416 <br />Tel: 763 541-4800 <br />Fax: 763 541-1700 <br />The Road Reconstruction 'task Force has held five meetings over the summer of 2007 to discuss the <br />reconstruction of concrete streets within St. Anthony Village. The Road Reconstruction Task Force <br />was comprised of 10 residents who reside on concrete streets, along with two representatives of the <br />City Council, the Public Works Director, and the City Lngineer. The purpose of the'rask Force <br />was to determine how the concrete streets within St. Anthony Village would be reconstructed. <br />The'rask Force defined a number of parameters affecting the decision to reconstruct existing <br />concrete streets with either concrete or asphalt. The parameters included appearance, function, and <br />cost associated with replacing existing concrete sheets with concrete or asphalt. <br />Throughout the five meetings, a number of issues associated with both material types were <br />evaluated, discussed, and a recommendation developed for the City Council's consideration. The <br />Task Force clearly indicated a preference to replace the existing concrete streets with new concrete <br />streets, but acknowledges the significant hurdle associated with the increase in capital cost <br />associated with construction of new concrete streets. <br />The Road Reconstruction Task Force feels that the combination of asphalt and concrete streets <br />within St. Anthony Village has added character to the Village and desires to have the Council give <br />consideration to the alternative they have selected to allow them to maintain concrete streets. <br />The attached report provides a history and summary of Task Force findings and their <br />recommendation to the Council for consideration. I will present these findings at the November 13, <br />2007, Council meeting. <br />lh <br />K11626-031AdminlDocslM/iA90-SoeerRecoulask!•brce-103107.doc <br />33 <br />
