MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,January 22,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 11. OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD (CSAH 112-CSAH 6)DESIGN UPDATE—Continued <br /> Crosby asked if they would be flashing stop signs. <br /> Martini indicated that type of detail has not been finalized at this stage but that the sign will likely be <br /> flashing. <br /> Seals asked if the proposed school circulation changes include ways to pull vehicles off of Old Crystal <br /> Bay Road, such as requiring all right turns at certain times of the day. Seals asked what the school is <br /> specifically doing with their internal flow. <br /> Dankey stated in front of the intermediate school there would be two lanes plus additional parking. It <br /> would be one way in and one way out. Vehicles can only go in on the right side,through the parking lot <br /> and then out. Dankey noted the circle on the map depicts all the new parking spots. <br /> Edwards stated a lot of the traffic changes will be on the school campus,which helps eliminate the need <br /> for stoplights. Edwards illustrated on the overhead how the traffic flow will be at the high school and <br /> middle school. In addition,the entrance to Okay Kids will be relocated and there will be consolidation of <br /> the access points. <br /> Martini stated by separating the primary access points out,the stacking will not interfere with the <br /> movements at the intersections. In addition,the circular movements will now occur on the school campus <br /> rather than having the vehicles come back out on Old Crystal Bay Road. The future connection onto <br /> Wayzata Boulevard will also help improve the traffic flow. <br /> Martini stated the challenges associated with the project are construction staging so it results in minimal <br /> impact during school months,one year versus a two-year project,and bidding the project as one package <br /> versus phasing school projects. As it relates to costs,the road improvements are estimated at$1.3 to$1.4 <br /> million. The new sidewalks are estimated at $55,000,the lighting at$100,000,and the pedestrian signal <br /> at$25,000. The school site reconfiguration is anticipated to be around$740,000. The total city costs are <br /> estimated at$1,555,500. Martini noted the City is also planning some utility work as part of this project <br /> which are not included in these costs. <br /> Walsh stated due to the deteriorating condition of the pipes,it would be very advantageous to replace <br /> those as part of this project rather than digging up the road later. <br /> Martini concurred that based on the condition of the utilities,it would be necessary to dig up the road at <br /> some point regardless. <br /> Edwards stated the numbers up on the screen have been grouped into different categories. The left <br /> column talks about the total costs,including the costs for the campus improvements. The costs have been <br /> anticipated at$2.1 million for pavement, $189,800 for sidewalk, $100,000 for lighting, $25,000 for the <br /> pedestrian signal,utilities at$650,000,and engineering at$626,020,which includes the feasibility study, <br /> design/engineering, and construction oversight. The second column reflects just the City's costs and the <br /> third column reflects the school's cost. Edwards indicated they are looking to cost share 50 percent on <br /> the sidewalk,lighting,pedestrian signal, 8 percent of the construction costs, and 10 percent of the <br /> construction costs. Edwards stated there is another cost sharing possibility on the stormwater. <br /> Page 4 of 7 <br />
