MEMORANDUM
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Steven Love, Assistant City Engineer
Jon Jarosch, Staff Engineer
DATE: September 10, 2013
SUBJECT: Arkwright- Sunrise Area Street Improvements, City Project 12 -09
a) Project Update and Revised Design Concept
b) Approval of Resolution of Support for the Revised Design Concept
Introduction
On May 13, 2013 the City Council held a Public Hearing and approved a resolution ordering the
improvements for the Arkwright- Sunrise Area Street Improvements, City Project 12 -09. This
report provides the commission an update on the project. The commission will also consider
approving the attached resolution supporting the revised design layout for the Arkwright- Sunrise
Area Street Improvements, City Project 12 -09.
Background
The Arkwright- Sunrise Area streets, which make up the main area of the reconstruction project,
are generally located east of Interstate 35E, north of County Road B, west of Edgerton Street,
and south of Highway 36 (see attached drawing). These streets are listed in the approved
2014 — 2018 Maplewood Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as a proposed project for the 2014
construction season.
Staff presented the preliminary design concept to the Parks and Recreation Commission on
February 20, 2013 (see Design Layout A). For the preliminary design concept the majority of
the streets were proposed to be constructed at 28 feet wide with no sidewalks. McMenemy
Street, Arkwright Street and Desoto Street were proposed to be constructed at 24 feet wide with
sidewalk on one side of the street. Additionally, a 5 foot sidewalk was proposed along the south
side of County Road B from Mississippi Street to Edgerton Street and along Edgerton Street
from County Road B to the existing sidewalks crossing Highway 36.
Throughout the preparation of the feasibility study, staff hosted several meetings with the
residents from the project area. At these meetings the proposed improvements, neighborhood
sidewalks, and sidewalks along County Road B and Edgerton Street were discussed. The
majority of residents attending these meetings were opposed to sidewalks being constructed
within the neighborhood. The primary reason expressed was that the neighborhood is not a
"through neighborhood" as it is bounded by highways on the north and west sides. Based on
the feedback received at these meetings the feasibility design layout was developed (see
Design Layout B).
The feasibility design layout maintained the bituminous trail connection between the two
neighborhoods from Desoto Street to Burr Street at the north end of the project. Sidewalk was
proposed along Arkwright Street from Lark Avenue to County Road B. Staff felt that it was
important to provide one north /south sidewalk to serve as a main collection and crossing point
to the proposed sidewalk along County Road B. At the Public Hearing several residents spoke
again about how this neighborhood is not a "through neighborhood" and were opposed to any
internal neighborhood sidewalks. The City Council approved a resolution ordering the
improvements for the Arkwrig ht-Su nrise Area Street Improvements, and requested staff to
review sidewalk location options.
In order to take a fresh look at options for sidewalk locations staff reviewed the City's Living
Streets Policy and the 2030 Comprehensive Plan to see what would work best for the entire
project as a whole. The high level goals of the Maplewood's Living Streets Policy are to:
1. Encourage people to travel by walking or bicycling
2. Enhance the safety and security of streets
3. Create livable neighborhoods
4. Maximize the infiltration of stormwater
5. Improve the quality of stormwater runoff
6. Enhance the urban forest
7. Improve the aesthetics of streets within the community
8. Reduce life cycle costs
The Living Street Policy includes several templates that are intended to be flexible, recognizing
that the application for each specific project, neighborhood, and street must be context
sensitive.
The trail plan within the 2030 Comprehensive Plane is based on the following principles:
1. Focus and priority is placed on primary north -south and east -west corridors that will
provide the greatest access and accessibility to all residents.
2. Connections between schools, community facilities, parks, and the region are
emphasized to help support alternative transportation options for all residents.
3. Trail construction and specific location (for example north or south side of a street,
concrete or bituminous) is not emphasized in this plan because the City will create a
plan for detail at time of development or redevelopment to ensure the appropriate needs
are being met for the area.
4. The proposed system is ambitious, and is focused on creating the ideal plan for the
future of Maplewood.
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies County Road B and Edgerton Street as primary north -
south and east -west corridors respectively. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan calls for a proposed
road trail along County Road B and proposed sidewalk along Edgerton Street. Additionally,
County Road B, west of Edgerton Street, and Edgerton Street are both identified as Minor
Arterials by the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
Based on the goals and templates of the Living Streets Policy, principles and recommendation
of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, resident feedback, the characteristics of the project area, and
applying a context sensitive approach to the project as a whole, staff developed a revised
design layout (see Design Layout C).
The revised design layout includes the following features:
The neighborhood project area streets will be constructed at 28 feet wide (see Living
Streets Template, Local Street — Option 3)
o Provides a context sensitive Living Streets design for the neighborhood
o Parking will be limited to one side
o Provides room for bicycling and walking on street
An 8 foot wide bituminous trail connection between the two neighborhoods from Desoto
Street to Burr Street at the north end of the project
o Promotes and encourages people to travel by walking or bicycling within the
neighborhood.
Living Street concepts will be applied to County Road B (see Living Streets Template,
Minor Arterial — Option 1)
o A 5 foot wide sidewalk will be constructed on the north side of County Road B
from McMenemy Street to Edgerton Street
• Meets the recommendations of the Living Streets Policy
• Helps complete the connectivity between the two neighborhoods
• Provides safe crossing points to the south side of County Road B at
McMenemy Street and Edgerton Street
• An 8 foot wide bituminous trail will be constructed on the south side of County
Road B from Mississippi Street to Edgerton Street
• Meets the recommendations and goals of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
and the Living Streets Policy for County Road B
• The sidewalk and trail locations are in line with MnDot's regional plans for
the replacement of the Interstate 35E bridge over County Road B
• MnDot's proposed plans provide room for a trail along the south
side of County Road B and a sidewalk along the north side of
County Road B under Interstate 35E
• County Road B will be striped to proved 6 foot wide shoulders on each side of
the road and County Road B will be signed no- parking
• The 6 foot wide shoulders will provide areas for on street bicycling
• Meets the recommendations and goals of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
and the Living Streets Policy for County Road B
• 5 foot wide sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of Edgerton Street from County
Road B to the existing walks which cross over Highway 36
o Meets the recommendations and goals of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and the
Living Streets Policy for Edgerton Street

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Jim Taylor, Parks Manager
SUBJECT: Geranium Park Improvements
DATE: September 11, 2013
I10 :IQ 111L911IQ01
Parks staff has been working with area playground providers to provide designs for a
new playground at Geranium Park. Parks staff has been working in collaboration with
the Public Works staff to conduct all of the site work.
DISCUSSION
In early August, City staff sent a Request For Proposal (RFP) to five playground
vendors in the state. The RFP was fairly simple we gave them an $90,000 budget and
asked them to come up with a dream park for an age range of 5 -12 year olds. We
received five proposals. The project team including, Parks and Recreation Staff
narrowed the proposals down to two. This was based on Play Value and meeting the
specifications of the RFP. At that meeting, it was decided that the two proposals to be
presented to the residents would be Little Tikes Commercial represented by Flanagan
Sales, and Landscape Structures represented by Flagship Recreation.
On September 4, Staff presented the two proposals at Geranium Park to neighborhood
residents. This was a new process that went very well. Each resident regardless of
age was asked to place a sticker on the proposal they liked the most.
All of the companies that turned in proposals were very competitive. Many offered
special discounts to be as competitive as possible. The Flanagan /Little Tikes proposal
was presented with a $37,115.60 discount giving us a lot of extra play value.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission show support for the
Flanagan Sales /Little Tikes proposal that was selected by residents of the
neighborhood.
