No further work is anticipated in 2020. The scope includes mill and overlay or reclamation of: • Chippendale Avenue from 145th Street W to 160th Street W • Dodd Boulevard from Shannon Parkway to Chippendale Avenue • 151st Street W from Shannon Parkway to Chippendale Avenue • Crestone Ave, Claret Ave and Cimarron Ave from CSAH 42 to 151st Street W • 2021 Street Improvement Project – Scope includes mill and overlay or reclaim of: • Covington Avenue • Colorado Avenue • Upper 149th Street W from Crandall Avenue to Colorado Avenue • Darling Path from Danbury Avenue to the southern curve • 156th Street W from Darling Path to Shannon Parkway • Upper 156th Street W from Darling Path to Danville Avenue • 156th Court W. • Dapple Court • Dapple Circle 2 • 157th Court W. • 157th Street W. • Danville Avenue from 156th Street W.to 156th Court W. • Cumberland Avenue • Crocus Avenue • Crocus Court • Crystal Path from Danville Avenue to Shannon Parkway • Crystal Court 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).

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.

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.
