Re:Proposed Industrial Park Street and Utility Improvements
The City Council Operations Committee has been meeting with the Public Works
Department to refine the list of street and utility improvements proposed for the
Industrial Park that could be accomplished while maintaining a project debt ceiling of
$3,000,000. Under this debt load, the Operations Committee has recommended
funding the following improvements:
Reconstructing Spiral Boulevard from Hwy 316 to Enterprise Ave ? 36 ft. wide
street, curb and gutter, storm sewer and trail.
St. to Vets? Park - 36 ft. wide street,
Reconstructing Millard Avenue from 31
st
curb and gutter, storm sewer and trail.
Reconstruction Industrial Court - 36 ft. wide street, curb and gutter, and storm
sewer
Repair the Ravine Erosion and Construct a Ponding Basin on the north side of
Spiral Boulevard, and Construct a Trail Connecting the Proposed Millard Avenue
Trail through the Ravine to 21 Street.

If other funding sources become available through MnDOT?s Hwy 61 bridge storm water
quality mitigation or Vermillion River Watershed funding, storm water quality
Street storm water diversion to the Three Rivers Mobile
improvements such as the 31
st
Home Park ponding basin or construction of rain gardens paralleling the street
reconstruction areas could be included in the project.
The new Spiral Boulevard entry monument and landscaping and possibly decorative
intersection street name signs might also be included in the project if funds are
remaining from the old Industrial Park improvement account.
The proposed storm water quality improvement involving diversion of Millard Avenue
and east Spiral Boulevard storm water from discharging to the ravine and rerouting the
storm water to discharge to the Industrial Park ponding basin adjacent to Enterprise
St.
Avenue would be eliminated from the project. Also eliminated are the proposed 21
st
access road to Vets? Park; the trail extension through Vets? Park connecting the existing
Glendale Heights/Enterprise Avenue trail to the Ravine Trail; and the Hwy 316 trail
Street trail to the Hwy 61 sidewalk just north of the Civic Arena.
