RE: RAILROAD DRIVE FEASIBILITY STUDY
Dear Council Members:
As directed by the City Council, we have prepared the attached Feasibility Study for
improvements on Railroad Drive west of Jackson Avenue. The improvements discussed in this
report are a short extension of sanitary sewer to provide service to the feed store and old paint
store just west of Jackson Avenue. The watermain improvements discussed in the report
consist of completing of a watermain loop to eliminate a long dead end and also to provide
water service to the feed store. Finally, the street and storm drainage improvement would
consist of repaving the driving surface at a grade such that all drainage would flow toward
Jackson Avenue, and be ultimately picked up by the storm sewer existing at that location. The
improvements discussed in the Feasibility Study are proposed to be funded by a combination of
assessments and Elk River Municipal Utility funding.
The next step in the improvement project process would be to adopt the attached Resolution
receiving the Feasibility Study and ordering the public hearing for April 6, 1998. This would be
the same evening that the Boston Street public hearing is scheduled for.
If you have any questions regarding this information, I will be in attendance at your March 16,
1998 City Council Meeting.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
T~urer, P.E.
