The program was initiated in 1972 with a contract for 7.3 miles. In 1973 an additional 33 miles of permanent paving was awarded, and 20 miles in 1974 making a total of 60.9 miles of permanent paving. Additional ornamental street lighting for midblock loca- tions and the replacement of existing intersection lighting with ornamental fixtures is also proposed as part of the Street Improvement Program. The proposed project under the New Permanent Street Improvement Program is that area shown in the accompany- ing Map Insert. Answers to the questions most frequently raised con- cerning Richfield's new Permanent Street Improvement Program are provided below. 1. Why does Richfield still have temporary streets? Right after World War II, Richfield experienced rapid growth under the impact of a building boom to provide housing for returning veterans and their families. At that time emphasis was given to other more important com- munity improvements; temporary streets were accepted as a stop-gap measure. Over the years many of those com- munity improvements have been met: Schools financed, park lands acquired, water system constructed, library built, plus city hall, fire stations and maintenance garage con- structed and recreational facilities developed. The replacement of temporary streets has now become ichfield's next priority. 2. Why have temporary streets become so difficult to maintain? The maintenance process for temporary streets involves a number of steps. First, the street surface is broken up with a grader. A seaman mixer (working much like a garden rototiller) pulverizes the surface. After road oil has been applied, the surface is graded and compacted. The problem is that each time a temporary street is repaired the grader must penetrate the full depth of the street surface to reach the natural soil underneath which is mixed with the road oil. Consequently, each time a tem- porary street is repaired the street surface becomes thicker and more dense. Some streets are now more than 10 inches thick. The increasing thickness and density of these streets make it more and more difficult to properly repair them. Furthermore, each time the streets are reworked, it becomes harder to maintain the proper grade-high in the center, low on the sides. Richfield's flat terrain and the lack of curb and gutters aggravate the drainage prob- lem. Standing water, potholes and washboard surfaces are the results. 3. What are the advantages of permanent streets and concrete curbs and gutters? The Permanent Street Surface is common to many communities in the Metropolitan Area. It is called bi- tuminous surface or, more commonly, blacktop. It offers many advantages over the existing temporary streets. • Repair times vary, but with our present temporary street maintenance program, streets should be repaired about every three years. By comparison, the Permanent Street Surface has a designed life in excess of 25 years. With proper maintenance of seal coating, a permanent street has an almost indefinite life expectancy. • The maintenance of Permanent Streets requires only seal coating, a thin layer of oil and gravel, once every 5 or 6 years. More importantly, the cost of maintenance will not be assessed as it is with the temporary street program. • Permanent Streets and concrete curbs and gutters stabilize proper grades, eliminating drainage problems. Standing water and the resulting potholes and washboards will be problems of the past. • Permanent Streets and concrete curbs and gutters pro- vide cars with a definite parking line. Lawns will grow completely to the curb eliminating ragged lawn edges. Also because grass holds the soil, sand and dirt wouldn't wash into the street, clogging storm sewers. An example of a bituminous street surface with concrete curbs and gutters may be seen in East Richfield, north of 74th Street and east of Pleasant Avenue. 4. Why are ornamental street lights included in the Street Improvement Program? Street lighting improvements have been initiated along with the permanent street program to provide for better street lighting in Richfield. The improved lighting system will provide for installation of two midblock ornamental lights and replacement of existing wooden pole lights at street intersections. The construction of permanent streets presents an op- portune time to install the lighting system since all street lighting wires would be placed underground behind the new concrete curbs and gutters. The new lights will be 175 watt mercury vapor within a Cobra Head type fixture mount- ed on a steel pole. The midblock lights will be located at two points in each north-south block, each about 200 feet from the street intersections. ORNAMENTAL STREET LIGHTING OFFERS THESE IMPORTANT BENEFITS: • Will help to control and reduce crime within residential neighborhoods. • Will contribute to motorist and pedestrian safety. • Will enhance the aesthetic qualities of residential areas. • Will provide for operating economies by reducing by one-half the cost for electricity and maintenance. 5. How much will the Permanent Street Improvement Program cost Richfield property owners? STREET SURFACE WITH CURB AND GUTTERS A portion of the cost of the permanent street surface with curbs and gutters will be assessed against benefited property owners. Although the actual cost has been esti- mated at $13 per front foot, the maximum assessment against residential property, as established by the Richfield City Council, will be only $8 per front foot. Non-residential property will be assessed the full cost. An equal share of the side street paving and the cost of the homeowner's driveway apron will be additional assessments. Although lot sizes vary in width, a typical Richfield lot is 60 feet wide in front. Using a 60 foot lot as an example, a typical assessment is presented: Front Footage: 60' x $8 = ...............$480 Side Street Share: 60' x $3.60 = .............$216 Average Driveway Apron .........................$100 Total Assessment ................................$796 The $796 assessment may be paid off at once without interest or, if you wish, at 8% interest over 20 years. STREET LIGHTING The assessment for ornamental street lighting is $2 per front foot or $120 for the typical 60 foot lot. 6.

M n City Clerk (Publish: September 18 and 25, 1975) • r ~ ~ O ~ ~ ~0~0 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ y~mO ~ p ~ ~Zy ~ O ^t O O ~ti~~O g--z--~ I-35W 0 -~ 0 z x c~ x D • VILLAGE OF EDINA ~~ ~ XERXES iiAVE~ II I RICHFIELD'S PERMANENT STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM' - In the face of increasing technical problems with the maintenance of Richfield streets, the City has embarked ~~ on a long-range Permanent Street Improvement Program. The program was initiated in 1972 with a contract for 7.3 miles. In 1913 an additional 33 miles of permanent paving was awarded, and 20 miles in 1974 making a total of 60.9 miles of permanent paving. Additional ornamental street lighting for midblock loca- tions and the replacement of existing intersection lighting with ornamental fixtures is also proposed as part of the Street Improvement Program. The proposed project under the New Permanent Street Improvement Program is that area shown in the accompany- ing Map Insert. Answers to the questions most frequently raised con- cerning Richfield's new Permanent Street Improvement Program are provided below. 1. Why does Richfield still have temporary streets? Right after World War II, Richfield experienced rapid growth under the impact of a building boom to provide housing for returning veterans and their families. At that time emphasis was given to other more important com- munity improvements; temporary streets were accepted as a stop-gap measure. Over the years many of those com- munity improvements have been met: Schools financed, park lands acquired, water system constructed, library built, plus city hall, fire stations and maintenance garage con- structed and recreational facilities developed. 3. What are the advantages of permanent streets and concrete curbs and gutters? The Permanent Street Surface is common to many communities in the Metropolitan Area. It is called bi- tuminous surface or, more commonly, blacktop. It offers many advantages over the existing temporary streets. • Repair times vary, but with our present temporary street maintenance program, streets should be repaired about every three years. By comparison, the Permanent Street Surface has a designed life in excess of 25 years. With proper maintenance of seal coating, a permanent street has an almost indefinite life expectancy. • The maintenance of Permanent Streets requires only seal coating, a thin layer of oil and gravel, once every 5 or 6 years. More importantly, the cost of maintenance will not be assessed as it is with the temporary street program. • Permanent Streets and concrete curbs and gutters stabilize proper grades, eliminating. drainage problems. Standing water and the resulting potholes and washboards will be problems of the past. • Permanent Streets and concrete curbs and gutters pro- vide cars with a definite parking line. Lawns will grow completely to the curb eliminating ragged lawn edges. Also because grass holds the soil, sand and dirt wouldn't wash into the street, clogging storm sewers. An example of a bituminous street surface with concrete curbs and gutters may be seen in East Richfield, north of 74th Street and east of Pleasant Avenue. 4. Why are ornamental street lights included in the Street Improvement Program? The replacement of temporary streets has now become •chfield's next priority. 2. Why have temporary streets become so difFicult to maintain? The maintenance process for temporary streets involves a number of steps. First, the street surface is broken up with a grader. A seaman mixer (working much like a garden rototiller) pulverizes the surface. After road oil has been applied, the surface is graded and compacted. The problem is that each time a temporary street is repaired the grader must penetrate the full depth of the street surface to reach the natural soil underneath which is mixed with the road oil. Consequently, each time a tem- porary street is repaired the street surface becomes thicker and more dense. Some streets are now more than 10 inches thick. The increasing thickness and density of these streets make it more and more difficult to properly repair them. Furthermore, each time the streets are reworked, it becomes harder to maintain the proper grade-high in the center, low on the sides. Richfield's flat terrain and the lack of curb and gutters aggravate the drainage prob- lem. Standing water, potholes and washboard surfaces are the results. Street lighting improvements have been initiated along with the permanent street program to provide for better street lighting in Richfield. The improved lighting system will provide for installation of two midblock ornamental lights and replacement of existing wooden pole lights at street intersections. The construction of permanent streets presents an op- portune time to install the lighting system since all street lighting wires would be placed underground behind the new concrete curbs and putters. The new lights will be 175 watt mercury vapor within a Cobra Head type fixture mount- ed on a steel pole. The midblock lights will be located at two points in each north-south block, each about 200 feet from the street intersections. ORNAMENTAL STREET LIGHTING OFFERS THESE IMPORTANT BENEFITS: • Will help to control and reduce crime within residential neighborhoods. • Will contribute to motorist and pedestrian safety. • Will enhance the aesthetic qualities of residential areas. • Will provide for operating economies by reducing by one-half the cost for electricity and maintenance. 5. How much will the Permanent Street Improvement Program cost Richfield property owners? STREET SURFACE WITH CURB AND GUTTERS A portion of the cost of the permanent street surface with curbs and gutters will be assessed against benefited property owners. Although the actual cost has been esti- mated at $13 per front foot, the maximum assessment against residential property, as established by the Richfield City Council, will be only $8 per front foot. Non-residential property will be assessed the full cost. An equal share of the side street paving and the cost of the homeowner's driveway apron will be additional assessments. Although lot sizes vary in width, a typical Richfield lot is 60 feet wide in front. Using a 60 foot lot as an example, a typical assessment is presented: Front Footage: 60' x $8 = ...............$480 Side Street Share: 60' x $3.60 = .............$216 Average Driveway Apron .........................$100 Total Assessment ................................$796 The $796 assessment may be paid off at once without interest or, if you wish, at 8% interest over 20 years.
