March 8. 1996 CITV Oh <br />PLYMOUTH <br />Ronald Moorse, City Administrator <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />PO Box 66, Crystal Bay <br />Orono, MN 55323-0066 <br />SUBJECT: FERNDALE ROAD <br />Dear Ron: <br />Thank you for taking the time today for us to discuss Femdale Road which is the <br />common city limits boundary between Plymouth and Orono. I was incorrect when I <br />stated that we had the improvement m our 1997 Capital Iny>rovements Program. It is <br />currently in the 1S^8 Program and is proposed for 1998 in our re-auopting of the <br />Capital Improvements Program. <br />Although we have not undertaken any Preliminary Engineering Reports or design of <br />the roadway, I have developed some concepts or ideas based upon its classification as a <br />“Minor Collector ” street in the Plymouth road system. This information was used and <br />submitted to the State to have the roadway classified and included in the State Aid <br />System. The following are these ideas or concepts: <br />• The road would be a nine ton urban design standard. This means <br />concrete curb and gutters with a storm sewer system for drainage. <br />The road would be 36 feet wide, 'ihis would provide for two lanes <br />of traffic, one in each direction, and one parking lane. Although this <br />would be the standard, we would propose that the roadway be posted <br />for “No Parking ” and this 36 foot width would then allow for one <br />lane of traffic in each direction with the other width used for turn <br />lanes at the numerous intersections and driveways. <br />The right-of-way would be 66 feet wide. <br />The road would be designed for a speed of 35 m.p.h. <br />• Plymouth would provide a separate walking trail in the right-of-way <br />along the east side of the road. <br />PLYMOUTH ;1 •.ncautifufPfjceTo Live <br />3U00 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH.
