STREET FIX: Roads get much-needed updates

FROM PAGE 1

A Mighty Mites game between Centennial and Blaine (ages 5-8) will precede the LLVIPS match, and Pederson promised a special surprise when the Zamboni emerges between the games.

Attendees can also participate in the Chuck-a-Puck activity, which challenges them to throw a puck as close to the on-ice target as possible. Lino Lakes K-9 Argos will be the one to retrieve the winning puck. The game will also be broadcast live on North Metro TV, Channel 15 and on the Guns-N-Hoses YouTube channel.

“Come on out and join us. We want to fill that place up and make as much noise as possible,” Pederson said.

The project will create a matter of slight inconvenience for one homeowner, whose driveway happens to sit right above a water main in need of repairs. The city will be responsible for replacing about 2/3 of the driveway after digging it up.

The city has awarded a construction contract to Bituminous Roadways Inc. in the amount of $11,006,598 for the improvements. The city also awarded a contract to WSB Associates for construction services in the amount of $58,818. Project completion is expected by Oct. 31.

Meanwhile, a plan for reconstructing Pheasant Run is in the works. Hankee described the cul-de-sac as being “in very poor condition,” and explained that the utilities beneath the roadway are some of the oldest in the city. The size of the water main is smaller than standard.

The project includes roadway reconstruction,

CITY OF LINO LAKES CONTRIBUTED drainage improvements and new curb and gutter on Pheasant Run north of Birch Street. Utility work will include replacing and rehabilitating the existing sanitary sewer along Pheasant Run and up to Captain’s Place, and upsizing the existing potable water main from 6-inch- to 12-inch-diameter pipe along Pheasant Run and up to Captain’s Place and looping back in at Black Duck Drive.

This map shows the areas that will be affected by the 2023 street rehabilitation project, which includes a full-depth reclamation along a portion of Black Duck Drive and a mill and overlay for other areas of the project.

The estimated total project cost, including contingency and overhead, is $1.27 million. Funding for the project is expected to be from 2021 street reconstruction bonds, the water and sewer operating funds, the trunk water fund and the street reconstruction fund. The expected completion date is Sept. 30.

The Lino Lakes City Council has authorized an advertisements for bids for the next step of the project.
