AGENDA Ni�� City Engineer, Assistant Public Works Director � � ATTAC�I,ENTS: OSM Letter APPROVED B • As discussed at the public hearing on March 2nd the Council directed staff to come back with recommendations and information regarding three items as discussed below: 1. At the public hearing there was discussion regarding the proposed width of the reconstructed roadway. The discussion centered on 42 verses 44 feet wide and MnDot' s interpretation of that issue. Staff had previously recommended a 44 foot wide street, but as outlined in OSM' s letter, MnDot would allow a 42 foot wide street. This would allow parking on both sides . Staff recommends that Council approve the 42 foot wide alternative. 2 . The public hearing also revealed that the majority of the residents wish to have a boulevard or green area separating the sidewalk from the street. The American Disability Act requires that the sidewalk be five feet wide for wheelchair accessibility. Staff recommends that a five foot sidewalk be constructed on the project . The resulting green area or boulevard in then 3 . 34 feet wide at its minimum width on the roadway. 3 . The City Council is requested to make a decision on the exact decorative light to install on 145th Street. This item has been discussed in the past . The Downtown Scoping Committee and the Chamber of Commerce sub-committee has chosen the acorn style light as the most desirable. This particular light is one of four that NSP has to choose from. The current acorn style is new last year for NSP and is the most efficient in directly light downward, making it more illuminating than other decorative lights. This is the light that was used in the cost estimates provided to the Council . Staff recommends that Council make a motion to approve a 42 foot wide street with 5 foot sidewalks on both sides and approve a particular decorative light . RECODIl�lENDED ACTION: Motion to approve a 42 foot wide street with 5 foot sidewalks on both sides and approve a particular decorative light. COUNCIL ACTION: 3 1 1 1 A RESOLUTION FOR THE APPROVAL OF DECORATIVE LIGHTING ON 145TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS FROM CHILI /CHIPPENDALE AVENUES TO CAMEO AVENUE AND ORDER NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY TO INSTALL THE DECORATIVE LIGHTING CITY PROJECT #245 WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Rosemount by a unanimous vote ordered a feasibility report for 145th Street Improvements from Chili /Chippendale Avenues to Cameo Avenue, City Project #245; and WHEREAS, the City Council has received and accepted the feasibility report on February 1, 1994 for City Project #245; and WHEREAS, the City Council ordered and held a public hearing on March 2, 1994 to receive input on the project.

A typical section for the 42-foot and 44-foot wide roadway improvement options is attached. The criteria that Mn/DOT uses to determine the geometric design standards for roadway construction are listed below: 1. Number of through lanes 2. Number of parking lanes 3. Projected average daily traffic (ADT} 4. Facility Function 5. Classi�cation 6. Speed Limit When the above-listed Mn/DOT criteria are applied to City Project No. 245, the required roadway width is debatable. It has been determined that City Project No. 245 will include two through lanes and will allow parking on both sides of the roadway and according to the Western Rosemount Transportation Study completed in 1993, the projected ADT for this project is 14,500. However, the roadway's facility function, classification and speed limit are questionable because of the following reasons: I - The posted speed limit for this part of 145th Street is 30 mph, however, ', according to residents living along the project, the actual speed of the cars in ', this area is 35 mph or more. ', - The roadway collects traffic from local streets and connects to arterials (major ', roadway) which is classified as a collector. However, the projected ADT ' would dictate that this portion of 145th Street be classi�ed as a High Density Arterial. �:�ao3a.so�crv«�coaxEs�a3iAa.so Equal Opportunity Employer Mr. Bud Osmundson ' City of Rosemount, MN , March 17, 1994 , Page 2 � During the prelinunary design for this portion of 145th Street it was determined that a conservative approach in applying the Mn/DOT standards be considered and the 44-foot wide roadway was proposed. After receiving comments from the residents along the roadway and the City Council at the neighborhood meeting and the public hearing, it is apparent that the proposed roadway width should be minimized (42-foot width). Mn/DOT will accept the 42-foot wide roadway section if the traf�c capacity analysis demonstrates that a level of service "D" or better �is maintained and if the speed limit remains at 30 mph. We have verified that the level of service on 145th Street in this area is a"D" or better (see attached traffic analysis). As was stated at the neighborhood meeting and the public hearing, the key to maintaining the vehicle speeds along this portion of 145th Street at 30 mph is enforcing the posted speed by the police department. I have discussed this project with Mark Gieseke, Mn/DOT State Aid Plans Engineer, and although he encouraged the 44-foot wide street design for safety reasons, he stated that a 42-foot wide street would meet State Aid standards and would be eligible for funding. Due to the above information, the resident comments, and in order to avoid additional right-of-way acquisition that would be required with the construction of a 44-foot wide street, I would recommend that City Project 245 be constructed according to the 42-foot wide typical section shown on the attached drawing. If you have any questions or comments regarding the above information, please contact me at 595-5694. Sincerely, ORR-SCHELEN-MAYERON & ASSOCIATES, ING ,� � ' 1��r�` �Z��/�� Brian J. Bourassa, P.E.
