<br /> <br />City of <br />El --- <br />River <br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date <br />En . eerin October 2, 2006 <br />Item Description <br />2007 Street Reconstruction Feasibili <br /> <br /> <br />Administrator <br /> <br />Introduction <br />As the Council is aware, in odd-numbered years, the City has undertaken street reconstruction <br />projects. It is now time to consider ordering the feasibility study for the 2007 street <br />reconstruction project. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />We are presenting two areas for proposed street reconstruction. The first area is the Deerfield 3rd <br />Addition as shown on the attached exhibit. Deerfield 3rd was the last subdivision constructed in <br />the urban area without concrete curb and gutter and under the old street section. The streets are <br />approximately 20 years old and are showing major distress. The Street Department spends a <br />significant amount of time patching these areas. Also, because there is no curb and gutter, there <br />is no storm sewer system other than a few culverts and backyard drainage areas. Reconstruction <br />of this area would provide concrete curb and gutter, storm drainage, and potentially, sidewalks <br />throughout the neighborhood. <br /> <br />The second area for the City Council to consider is the Irving Avenue area. It is the area lying <br />east of Jackson Avenue, north of 4th Street and south of School Street as shown on the attached <br />exhibit. It involves reconstruction of most of the streets in the area with the potential mill and <br />overlay of Holt and Gates Avenue, and 8th Street off of School Street. Also included is <br />consideration of the paving of the alleys between J ackson Avenue and Irving Avenue. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />We have done a preliminary review of street reconstruction costs (based on our estimated cost <br />per foot) versus number of assessable units. Using the 2006 assessment rate for the Highland <br />Road project, it appears that approximately one-third of the street reconstruction will be <br />assessable, with two-thirds funded by the City. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />.
