C O M Memorandum To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Bryan Bear, City Administrator From: Mark Erichson, City Engineer Date: October 6, 2025 Re: 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area Street Improvement Project WSB Project No. 028436-000 On March 3, 2025, the City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park Street Improvement Project. Roadway overlay are proposed along the following streets: • 130th Street North (from TH 61 to Europa Trail North) • 140th Street North (from TH 61 to Fenway Boulevard North) • Fenway Boulevard North (from 130th Street North to 140th Street North) • Fenway Boulevard Court North (from Fenway Boulevard North to its eastern terminus) • 130th Street North (from Fenway Boulevard to Europa Trail North) • Farnham Avenue North (from 130th Street North to its southern terminus) WSB is currently preparing the feasibility study and preliminary design. An action to accept the feasibility study will be brought forward for City Council approval at an upcoming City Council meeting in November. The City plans to assess properties that benefit from the aforementioned improvements in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, and the City’s adopted assessment policy. However, staff is proposing a deviation to the assessment policy for residential properties located on the north side of 130th Street North, from Fenway Boulevard to Europa Trail North, and on the west side of Fenway Boulevard, between 140th Street North and 130th Street North. According to the assessment policy, these properties would generally be assessed at one- half unit for the improvements along 130th Street and Fenway Boulevard, with the remaining one-half unit to be assessed once the internal roads to the properties are improved. Since none of these properties have direct access to 130th Street North or Fenway Boulevard, staff is requesting that these properties not be assessed for this project, but instead be fully assessed when the following internal streets are improved. • Europa Trail Way North • 132 Street North • 132nd Way North • Europa Court North • 134th Street North
