Feasibility Report 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area Street Improvement Project S.A.P. 224-101-003, 224-108-003, 224-110-003 City of Hugo WSB Project No. 028436-000 Page 9 4.2.3 Storm Sewer For all project areas, the storm sewer manhole castings will be adjusted to match the new finish grade of the pavement. Curb inlets that show signs of leaks or other deterioration will be repaired. Additionally, some inlets have old castings that do not meet the City’s current standards. These will be removed and replaced with castings that comply with the City’s standards, improving drainage along the roadways. On 130 th Street, a partial reconstruction of the storm sewer is proposed to improve the layout of the pipes and structures. This will enhance roadway drainage and facilitate easier maintenance for public works staff. It is important to note that stormwater management facilities will not be installed as part of this project. Streets and trails that have been reclaimed, milled, and overlaid and are surrounded by at least 5 feet of grass or other vegetation are exempt from watershed stormwater requirements . 4.2.4 Private Utilities The existing overhead utility poles on 130 th Street are located 5 to 8 feet behind the back of the curb. To accommodate the proposed trail design, most of these poles will need to be relocated. There is an existing 20 -foot drainage and utility easement north of the right -of-way along this route, so the relocated poles will still be within the right -of-way or an existing utility easement. 4.3 Railroad Crossings There are existing Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) railroad crossings at 130 th Street and 140 th Street near TH 61. The railroad currently ends at the north edge of 14 0 th Street, as the section north of 140 th was removed years ago before the construction of the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail. Since this crossing is no longer in use, BNSF has agreed to remove the rail lines through 140 th Street, allowing the City to replace the pavement and sidewalk in that area. The rail crossing at 1 30th Street is still in service and will not be removed. However, the new bituminous trail on the north side of 130 th Street will need a new concrete rail crossing. This will require coordination and approval from BNSF regarding the design and construction of the new trail/rail crossing. WSB has developed a preliminary design for the rail crossing, and BNSF has provided preliminary approval of this design. An exhibit illustrating the preliminary crossing is included in Appendix A . 4.4 Right -of-Way and Easements To construct the proposed trail on 130 th Street, it is proposed to keep it within existing ROW or trail easements to the extent possible from the BNSF Railway to Fenway B lvd . However, there are several properties where a trail easement is necessary for the construction of the new trail on 130 th Street. Therefore, it is proposed to acquire 5 -foot trail easements at 5100, 5118, 5198 and 5212 130 th Street N. An estimate of easement costs is included in the table below.
