point approximately 200 feet away from the intersection of Penn Avenue and 82nd Street.
Issues with existing utility information not being correctly shown on the as-builts is
causing delays as we must redesign, work with private utilities and reorder materials.
The work at 81st Street and Russell cannot be completed until this connection at Penn
Avenue and 82nd Street is made because otherwise the storm pipe will have no place for
the water to flow. As soon as the Penn Avenue and 82nd Street work is complete we will
be able to connect the upstream storm sewer and complete the construction of Russell
Avenue. There is approximately three weeks of work that includes the rocking of the
road, curb and gutter installation and paving after to storm sewer work is completed.

Street from Russell Avenue to Penn Avenue)
82nd Street between Penn Avenue and Russell Avenue will be closed starting Monday,
July 19 to facilitate the installation of the large, deep trunk storm sewer.
Pavement removal will begin on Monday with the storm pipe installation beginning on
Tuesday and continuing throughout the week. Work at the intersection of Penn Avenue
and 82nd Street is anticipated to begin the end of the week of July 19 but may get
delayed to the following week depending on the weather.
The contractor has applied for a noise variance exception to begin work at 5:30 am
on either Tuesday, July 20 or Wednesday, July 21 weather dependant. This exception
is requested to limit the impacts due to the installation of a new watermain valve.
The installation of the new valve will require a watermain shutdown, one residence
and one business will be affected by the shut down. The business is a dentist
office and is the reason why the shutdown is being done early in the morning
necessitating the noise variance.
The City's Contractor continues to set up the temporary water system that will be
necessary to complete the construction work. These temporary water lines will
extend into the neighborhood and include areas from Xerxes Avenue east to Penn
Avenue and 84th Street north to 82nd Street.

installation will begin the week of July 19.
-
Baliff Area (includes Washburn, Vincent, Upton and Thomas Avenues between
Old Shakopee Road and Baliff Place)
The gas main has been installed in the area. Centerpoint now needs to verify that
there are no cross bores with the system to meet the Minnesota Office of Pipeline
Safety requirements before any gas services can be installed. A second crew has not
yet been brought into the area to help clear the main before beginning the
services. It appears likely that Centerpoint will remain in the neighborhood
through July before the City's contractor can begin work in the area.
Engineering staff began meeting individually with residents participating in the
2010 Rainwater Garden Project. Of the approximately 100 residents in the
neighborhood, 26 chose to incorporate rainwater gardens into their boulevard areas.
The recent meetings included discussions on plant varieties, garden location, and
anticipated planting timing among other questions. After the individual meetings,
residents will be asked to decide on their plant varieties and staff will assist
with planting designs. Residents will be given a chance for final planting plan
approval in late September. Engineering staff will assist the residents in planting
the gardens following the street reconstruction. The Nine Mile Creek Watershed
District has again partnered with the City's Rainwater Garden Project with a
$25,000 cost-share, the remainder will be from the Storm Water Drainage Utility.

Sod was placed this week. The areas are complete except for punch list work.
-
E. 90th Street (between Stevens and Portland)
The milling of the street is scheduled for July 19. A sink hole developed on Thursday,
July 15 at the intersection of E. 90th and 3rd Avenue due to sanitary sewer manhole and
pipe material failures. The area has been temporarily repaired while alternatives to
fix the sanitary sewer are explored. The sewer is deep and will likely require the
closure of the intersection to fix the pipe. Further updates will be provided once a
repair scenario is known. In the mean time the paving of the street has been postponed
to accommodate the repair.
-
W. 90th Street (between France and Penn)
Concrete removal and replacement will continue during the week of July 19.
The signals for both France Avenue and Penn Avenue have had some issues with short
green times for various movements or not responding to pedestrian push button
calls. Hennepin County has been contacted since they own both signals and staff was
out looking at the issue on Friday, July 16.

Portland Avenue (Between E. 102nd Street and E. 99th Street)
Sod has been planted on Portland but still needs to be replaced in some of the
Pleasant and Garfield areas where it has not successfully completed its 30 day warranty
period. Sod cannot be planted on days were the expected high is over 90 degrees since
the sod will dry out if left on the truck to long. Staff has also agreed to allow some
slit seeding in areas where the sod did not take. This seeding method has successfully
been used on other projects in the past and hopefully will perform as well this time.
The same 30 day requirement will be enforced so that the areas are growing with green
grass at the end of the time period.

Baliff Area (includes Washburn, Vincent, Upton and Thomas Avenues between Old
Shakopee Road and Baliff Place)
Most of the gas main has been installed in the neighborhood. Centerpoint now needs to
televise the sanitary sewer services to be in compliance with the Minnesota Office of
Pipeline Safety requirements before any gas services can be installed. The current
production rate of the camera crew is about 5 houses a day. With nearly a 100 homes in
this area, it will take the entire month of July for Centerpoint to clear the area
before they can start installing services. Centerpoint is trying to find a second
camera crew to bring to this neighborhood to speed things up. Centerpoint will also try
to see if they can clear an entire street so that it can be worked on by other crews
while the camera crew is still in the neighborhood on other streets. They have run into
difficulty with this where an entire street is cleared except for one house where
someone is on vacation. After the main has been cleared the gas service crew can begin
installation at the beginning of August. The City's contractor is likely not to be in
the area until mid to late August if Centerpoint's schedule cannot be accelerated.

E. 90th Street
Tree removal along E. 90th Street in front of Valley View is complete. Some residents
have expressed concern regarding the tree removal. The trees were removed along the
road to accommodate the Core Linking Trail as proposed in the Alternative
Transportation Plan to serve pedestrians and bicyclists that is to be constructed with
the project. Approximately two-thirds of the trees removed were green ash, including a
number that were rated as fair or poor by the City Forester. The Minnesota Department
of Agriculture has recommended that agencies remove green ash in these categories as a
way to combat the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer. These trees would have been removed
regardless of the project. Many of the existing trees were also located beneath utility
wires which would have required trimming as the trees grew. This trimming would likely
further weaken the trees making them more susceptible to the Emerald Ash Borer. A stand
of hackberries that was determined to be of higher value were left based on the
recommendation of the City Forester. The removed trees will be replaced on a one to one
basis and will be planted within Valley View Park. Given the space constrictions in
some areas where the trail, street curb and parking lot curb are in close proximity
some of the trees cannot be replaced in the same general location for safety reasons.
The preferred location will be to plant the replacement trees will be near the trail
along 90th Street.
