One culvert located east of 192nd Avenue has a catch basin inlet on the north <br />side of the road. There is a low area in the park located northeast of the 193rd Avenue/Highland <br />Road intersection. Between 192nd Avenue and Jackson Street there is a catch basin inlet <br />constructed under a previous project that can be incorporated into the proposed project. <br /> <br />Existing Private Utilities <br /> <br />Private utilities that have facilities in or near the project area will be notified of the project and <br />requested to incorporate repairs and relocations with the project as needed at their cost. Private <br />utilities include Charter Communications, Elk River Municipal Utilities, CenterPoint Energy, <br />N orthstar Access and Qwest. <br /> <br />v. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />An informational meeting was held on November 2, 2005 to discuss options for improvements to <br />Highland Road and the surrounding area. The following four options were discussed. <br /> <br />1. Do nothing. <br />2. Construct a 10- foot bituminous trail along one side of Highland Road. Maintain the existing <br />road section. <br />3. Reconstruct Highland Road to 34-foot width with curb and gutter and 6-foot wide sidewalks <br />on both sides. <br />4. Full sewer and water installation and street reconstruction throughout the area, including <br />connecting streets. <br /> <br />Based on public input obtained at the hearing, the City Council decided to proceed with Option 3. <br />This is the only option that will be detailed in this report. <br /> <br />Street <br /> <br />It is proposed that Highland Road be reconstructed to a 34-foot width from face of curb to face of <br />curb with barrier concrete curb and gutter and 6- foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides of the <br />roadway. As shown in Exhibit 4, the pavement section will consist of 3)12 inches of bituminous <br />pavement and 7 inches of aggregate base to provide a 9-ton pavement design section that meets City <br />standards. The design of this section is based on a number of factors, including traffic load and <br />native subgrade soils. Soil borings will be obtained during the preparation of plans and <br />specifications to verify pavement design requirements. <br /> <br />3 <br />
