Goodview Avenue had improvements in the 1970's, 80's, and early 90's. Since then, pavement conditions have aged and are exhibiting distresses such as transverse and longitudinal cracking, pavement rutting, and a fallen cross slope, with surfaces rated as fair to poor. 3.2 Drainage Runoff is currently collected by the existing drainage ditches. Culverts are located across sections of the roadways as well as across many of the driveways to convey runoff into adjacent wetland areas. 3.3 Private Utilities Private utilities that have facilities in or near the project area will be notified during the final design phase of the project and will be requested to coordinate any necessary repairs and replacements as needed at their cost. Private utility companies that have facilities within the project area include the following: ■ Comcast (Cable) ■ CenturyLink (Telecom) ■ Koch Pipelines (Oil) ■ Xcel Energy (Electric/Gas) ■ Zayo Bandwidth (Telecom) 3.4 Sanitary Sewer The properties within the project area are served by private sanitary systems. 3.5 Watermain The properties within the project area are served by private water systems. 4. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS 4.1 Surface 4.1.1 Roadway Two roadway design options were considered for this report. Both options proposed for the project area include the reclamation of the existing asphalt pavement and aggregate base with only minor subgrade corrections as needed with the roadway remaining a rural section. The base roadway option considered for Goodview Avenue, Option 1, is to match the existing 24-foot width. With this option, the roadway would be reclaimed and paved at the same width as the existing roadway, with only minor improvements to the existing shoulder to meet State Aid Standards. The layout of the roadway would include two 11-foot driving lanes and two 1-foot-wide paved shoulders, with a rural typical section. This option minimizes both cost and construction impact to the adjacent properties; however, it does not provide any extra shoulder space for bikers or pedestrians. The second roadway option considered, Option 2, is to widen the existing rural section from a 24-foot width to a 26-foot width. The layout of the roadway would include two 11-foot driving lanes and two 2- foot-wide paved shoulders with a rural typical section. This option provides a somewhat wider and safer route for pedestrians or bicyclists; however, the option would be more expensive than replacing in kind Feasibility Report 2020 Goodview Avenue Improvement Project City of Hugo, MN WSB Project No. R-014873-000 Page 3
