PUBLIC HEARING HEARING ON PROPOSED 1998 IMPROVEMENTS TO HOYT AVENUE BETWEEN ' FULHAM STREET AND CLEVELAND AVENUE Engineer Maurer explained that the improvements to Hoyt Avenue were being done in • conjunction with the City of St. Paul's improvements to the St. Anthony Park neighborhood. Since Hoyt Avenue is a border street, St. Paul and Falcon Heights will share in the street reconstruction costs. In addition, St. Paul will install 27 streetlights along Hoyt Avenue, 13 on the Falcon Heights side of the street. Since these decorative streetlights are unique to the project, Hoyt Avenue residents are proposed to be assessed 517.16 per front foot for the streetlights. The proposed assessment rate for the street reconstruction is 526.50 per front foot. Mayor Gehrz opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. Marian Watson, 2140 W. Hoyt Avenue, St. Paul, asked about the assessment rate. Administrator Hoyt noted that the rate will be different for her property since it is located on the St. Paul side of Hoyt Avenue. Dan Bryan, 2141 W. Hoyt Avenue, noted that Northern States Power was installing new gas main as a part of the project and wanted to know what provisions had been made for ensuring the safety of the new main.
