Construction Schedule - is dependent upon the weather Sprinkler Systems and Dog Fences If you have a sprinkler system or dog fence adjacent to the curb and sidewalk replacement areas, it is recommended that you temporarily move sprinkler heads, sprinkler piping and dog fence components away from replacement areas. The contractor is not responsible for damage to sprinkler systems or dog fences within the city right-of-way. Landscaping around mailboxes and in the city right of way is also not the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor will seed the area that is disturbed once the new curb is installed. Pavement Removal The contractor will remove the bituminous wedge (existing pavement along the curb) with a milling machine. The road surface will be drivable during this process. However, all vehicles will need to be parked in a driveway or elsewhere, or the vehicles will be towed at the owner's expense. We ask that you do not park on the street between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM during the milling operation. Curb and Sidewalk Removal After the bituminous wedge is removed, an inspection will be made to identify any additional damaged curb. If a curb section is cracked, sunken, heaved, or has large chunks of concrete missing, the curb meets the criteria for removal. These repairs are scheduled to begin following the removal of the bituminous wedge. Curb and sidewalk sections to be removed will be marked with white paint. Driveway Access If curb or sidewalk along your driveway is not marked for removal - park on your driveway at all times. If curb or sidewalk along your driveway is marked for removal, the following applies: 8 of 28 • New curb and sidewalk cannot be driven over for approximately 7 days. The contractor will not warranty concrete that has been driven on before it has fully cured. • If curb is marked in front of your driveway for removal, portions of your driveway may not be accessible at all times. Please avoid parking in front of curb sections marked for replacement. Please contact the project inspector listed below if there are any issues regarding access to your driveway. Boulevard and Grass Restoration The contractor will restore all disturbed boulevards and grass areas with soil, fertilizers, and seed. Paving Operation We ask that you do not park on the street between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM during the paving operation. During this process, you will have access to and from your driveway, except for when work is occurring directly in front of your home. The new asphalt pavement can be driven on approximately 30 minutes after placement and final rolling. If you are not sure whether it is ok to drive on the pavement, please ask one of the workers on-site. When driving on new pavement, please avoid making sharp turns or turning tires while your vehicle is not in motion. This will cause scarring of the surface of the pavement. Please refrain from running irrigation systems while the paving process is occurring. If you have any questions related to this project, please call: Morgan Sewell- Project Inspector: 612-469-3239 In case of an emergency, please call the Oak Park Height Police. We realize the construction will be inconvenient at times. We appreciate your patience. Please feel free to call if you have any questions or concerns. 9 of 28 , M I N 3 \ \5. hm \ \ / } ■ \ ~ ; \ ) / ) to � | - 4 ■ \ } } a ui } z k / � � z Ld k K � � ■ § : I M ■ M � � k » ! : 2 -4 9 \ m LL � \} � I � � � \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } / [ 3 ; } 5 \ - \ \ \ { EU _ \ \ \tz } / / \ } \ \ \ \ a \ J \ \ City of Oak Park Heights 14168 Oak Park Blvd. N•Oak Park Heights,MN 55082•Phone(651)439-4439•Fax(651)439-0574 5/25/22 X X X Dear City Resident: The City will be installing a new TRAIL/ SIDEWALK this summer along the north side of 581' Street—east of Osgood Ave. SEE THE MAP on opposite side.

Currently,while one bus stop is near a sidewalk and both have a sign and bench,the bus stops on both sides of the street are not paved,potentially presenting a concern for individuals with limited mobility. (SEE: https://www.metrotransit.org/imal)/294 -- STOPS: 7253& 7261 —IMAGES ATTCHED) The City understands that these may not be high traffic bus stops or even stops that are regularly utilized but we would like to ensure equitable accessibility of all the bus stops in our City so that all our residents can benefit. So that you may further understand our perspective,please note that approximately 19.8%of Oak Park Heights residents have some form of disability,which is higher than the national average,of which, 13.9% have ambulatory difficulty.' We can understand these may be older stops that may be coming due for some updates however Metro Transit must ensure that its bus stops have a firm, stable surface to allow passengers to board the bus and to be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and related updates. Currently,the bus stops at 58t1 Street and Stillwater Blvd do not appear to meet these standards, since they do not have pavement(or other firm surface) at the stops and as a result lack an accessible connection to the off-street/street route. We ask that Metro Transit consider paving the stops and make other necessary improvements to better ensure they are accessible to our community members.And,please let us know the timeline for any such improvements. We are grateful to have bus stops in Oak Park Heights and hope to ensure they are accessible to all, so we look forward to ensuring the accessibly of these stops. Please keep us updated or if you would like to talk to us further about these concerns.

We are adding Bus Stops 7261 and 7253, Stillwater Blvd &58th St N in Oak Park Heights, to our five- year workplan and anticipate construction may occur in the next one to two years. Metro Transit staff will begin exploring design options for adding accessible boarding pads.This will include coordination with Washington County Public Works and City of Oak Park Heights Public Works staff. At the northbound bus stop, it appears a pad can be added between the curb and trail to make the accessibility improvement, but site measurements are needed to verify. At the southbound bus stop, the site conditions and absence of a pedestrian network are challenges to making the stop accessible. We would like to consider moving the southbound bus stop to the pedestrian crossing preceding the traffic signal, nearside of the intersection. Existing,condrtiorls,Southbound Sxil'lwatec Blur!&58",St N Consider, hug IOCI� Schedule will depend on site conditions, design and roadway authority coordination.

As reflected above, residential values increased by 20.9%; Apartments by 16% and Commercial by 7.2%. Overall total 15.5%increase. The preliminary values reflect no change in Xcel—DOR values as this information is not available until later in the year. 20 of 28 The large increase in EMV of residential properties causes a shift in the class percentage of values for 2022 as compared to 2021.
