Initial planning is and a neighborhood meeting is scheduled for October 8.The
feasibility report has been completed and the Improvement Hearing was held on
November 17, 2020. The City Council then ordered the preparation of plans and
specifications. Construction is planned for 2021.
• Autumn Path – Scope includes construction of utilities and paving from Bonaire Path
north approximately 2,500 feet. Construction is planned to restartstarted in October
with utility installation complete this year. Road paving will be completed in 2021;
however, there will be gravel to allow access to the Bella Vista 7 th subdivision.
• Biscayne Ave – Scope includes construction of utilities and paving between Boulder
Trail and 160th Street (CSAH 46). Extension of sanitary sewer will provide service to
the Biscayne Business Park on the southern end of the project. Final grading and
work on stormwater features remains and will be completed prior to winter. Final
bituminous wear course will be done in 2021. No truck traffic will be allowed until the
final bituminous course is place.
• Bonaire Path – Scope includes construction of utilities and paving between Akron
Avenue and Anderson Drive. Additionally, the installation of crossing arms at the
Union Pacific Railroad intersection are in the scope of the project and planned for
2020. Ultimately, the city will request that this intersection become a quiet zone (i.e.
no train horns). Wear course and construction is anticipated to be completed in 2021;
however, that will hinge on Union Pacific completing the necessary crossing work.
Final design for rail improvements was approved by City Council at the February 4 ,
2020 meeting. The next step in this process requires that Union Pacific complete an
agreement document so that all costs are documented and then the work can be put
forward for scheduling. Staff received notice that a draft agreement is in process;
however, because of the lengthy delay by UP the cost estimates expired and are being
updated. Once the agreement is received staff will bring to Council for approval.
Actual construction work by UP remains unscheduled at this time. Because of the
significant delays by Union Pacific no work is anticipated in 2020. Additional
communication with both MnDOT and other Union Pacific staff is being done as well.
Staff has been in contact with the Federal Railroad Administration regarding
application for a quiet zone (QZ). Because of the design, the QZ application is
expected to be approved.
• Connemara Trail Extension – Scope includes construction of utilities and paving
from Akron Avenue east approximately 1,300 feet. Contract was awarded and work is
being planned for 2021 due to the significant workload. Some additional work is being
coordinated with the parcel to the east to assist with future development.

cost. This project is in the close out phase and this will be the last report.
• Dunmore Storm Lift Station – Scope includes the construction of a stormwater lift
station in the Dunmore subdivision and connection to existing force main.
Construction is completed. Initial startup and control programming has been
performed. Restoration is underway.
• Shannon Pond Outlet Feasibility Study – Scope includes reviewing potential routes
for stormwater outlet at Shannon Pond. Because of the land locked location outlet will
be a significant undertaking. Initial study work was received this summer. Information
from this study will be used to estab lish future improvements necessary to reduce the
potential for structure flooding. Staff plans a future presentation to the Utility
Commission regarding this work.
