<br /> <br />Item # 6.10. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />April 1, 2005 <br />File #: 813320J-0325 <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: KING AVENUE PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENT <br />MISCELLANEOUS PARK IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />As directed, we have completed the design of the King Avenue Parking Lot improvement <br />project. As part of the process we have been a participant with Heidi Steinmetz in the <br />Downtown Task Force dealing with design issues relative to construction of the King <br />Avenue parking lot. Attached is a site plan which shows the proposed final design. As we <br />have discussed previously, the proposal is to close the King Avenue access to Trunk <br />Highway 10 and to close the School District access to King Avenue and create a large <br />municipal parking lot. John Houlton from the First National Bank has agreed to have their <br />small parking lot included in the design; so as you will see, the First National Bank lot <br />adjacent to the Meat Market has been included into the design so it will appear as if it is one <br />large municipal lot. We have been able to achieve approximately 150 parking stalls, which is <br />just less than double what was in the area previously. <br /> <br />We are also proposing to bid along with the King Avenue Parking Lot, miscellaneous park <br />improvements that are included in the Parks Department budget for 2005. These <br />improvements include trails, ball courts, and playground areas at various parks throughout <br />the City. Attached for your consideration is a resolution that approves the plans and <br />specifications and authorizes the advertisement for bids for these two projects. Weare <br />proposing to open bids on Wednesday, April 27, 2005 so they will be available for the first <br />Council meeting in May for consideration of award. <br /> <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763,635.1090 <br />, .
