CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum TO: Mayor & City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: Jeff Weyandt, Assistant City Engineer SUBJECT: 2010 Street Reconstruction Issues DATE: November 17,2009 The purpose of this memo is to update Council as to how staff is preceding in regard to specific design issues on the 2010 Street Reconstruction Proj ect. I Issue #1 - Sidewalk on Dakota Street I Dakota Street is 41-feet wide with no sidewalk within the project limits (7th Avenue to Shakopee Avenue). Staff is proposing to construct a sidewalk on the east side of the street and to narrow the street to 37- feet, with the west curb line remaining in the same place and the east curb line shifted 4- feet. Staff is also proposing to extend the sidewalk 180- feet north of 7th A venue to connect to the existing sidewalk. This will require shifting the east curb line 4-feet on Dakota Street, south of 7th Avenue outside of the project limits. This shifting and narrowing of the street creates enough width to construct the sidewalk. I Issue #2 - Sidewalk Connections Outside of Project Area I On Dakota Street, in order to make the sidewalk connection from 4th Avenue to 10th Avenue, there are two gaps outside the project area in the sidewalk route. One is from 4th A venue to the alley south of 4th A venue, and the other is from Shakopee A venue to 10th Avenue along School District property. Staff recommends making the connection near 4th Avenue as part of the project. If the school district agrees to pay for and maintain the segment from Shakopee A venue to 10th A venue this segment will also be added to the project. I Issue #3 -Funding of and Maintenance of Sidewalk Along Dakota Street I The sidewalk from Milwaukee Manor to Shakopee A venue would be considered a new sidewalk. If considered a collector street, sidewalks are not assessed, if a local street, sidewalks are 100% assessed. Reconstruction projects typically would be assessed at 30%. The reason to install sidewalks along Dakota Street is to provide a route to Pearson and the Middle School. Staff believes the sidewalk should be classified a safe route to school and pay for 100% of the cost. Staff would ask the School District to pay for the sidewalk connection along Dakota Street, from Shakopee A venue to 10ili A venue. The maintenance of the sidewalk would be by the local property owners unless directed otherwise by Council. I Issue #4 - Street Width of Shakopee Avenue I The City has been reducing the residential street widths to 37- feet as streets are reconstructed. Shakopee Avenue, between Main Street and Market Street, is 45-feet wide and is proposed to be reconstructed in 2010. Due to the fact that this is the only block of Shakopee A venue scheduled to be reconstructed within the next five years, staff is only proposing to reduce the width to 41- feet. Issue #5 - Reconstruction of Private Driveways In 2009 for the first time, the City gave residents the option to have their driveways reconstructed as part of the City's project. Staff is recommending that the City discontinue this option and require residents to negotiate privately with the contractor if they would like their driveway reconstructed. The cons to offering this program are as follows: 1. The 2009 project was delayed by approximately three weeks due to all of the private driveways. This resulted in an extra three weeks of inconvenience for all residents on the project. 2. Additional coordination efforts resulted in higher project costs, in which 70% is paid from the general tax levy. 3. Driveways outside of the right-of-way can be different. It is difficult for the contractor to give the City one unit price for all driveways. 4. The driveway work is considered a private improvement and tax exempt bonds should not be used to finance the improvement. 5. The City takes on additional liability by performing work outside of the right-of- way. If Council does not agree with how staff is proceeding, please provide additional direction. Attached to this memo is a drawing and pictures to illustrate and depict the issues outlined. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Discuss 2010 street reconstruction issues with staff and provide direction on each Issue. 2. Table for additional information. RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to proceed with the 2010 Street Reconstruction Project following the recommendations of staff on each issue as outlined in this memo. ACTION REQUESTED: Direct staff to proceed with the 2010 Street Reconstruction Project following the recommendations of staff on each issue as outlined in this memo. *~ Jeff Weyandt, P.E.
