Title:
Consider Priority Streetlighting along County Road 116 (Bunker Lake Boulevard)
Background:
Staff received a call from a resident concerned with the lack of lighting along Bunker Lake Boulevard, between Ramsey Boulevard and Armstrong Boulevard. After receiving the call staff performed a review of all lighting along Bunker Lake Boulevard through the City, and the following intersections were identified as needing streetlights under the City's priority streetlighting program:
• Germanium Street
• Iodine Street
• Krypton Street
• Azurite Street (east of Basalt St.)
• Basalt Street
• Town Center Drive
• Zeolite Street
Connexus was contacted to prepare proposals to complete the various installations. Attached is a copy of the proposal received, which excludes the lights that are located along the segment of Bunker Lake Boulevard that is scheduled for reconstruction next year (Basalt to Germanium) because they would be served by Anoka Municipal Utilities.
Recommendation:
Because of the limited lighting along Bunker Lake Boulevard just north of the COR it is recommended to at least perform the installation of streetlights at Town Center Drive and Zeolite Street, although they should be sited such that there would be minimal disruption when this segment of roadway in reconstructed (tentatively planned for 2012). If the other locations could be implemented in a similar manner, with minimal impacts to imminent construction projects, than they shold be considered as well.
Staff recommends, at a minimum, the installation of priority streetlights at the intersections of Bunker Lake Boulevard and Zeolite Street, and Bunker Lake Boulevard and Town Center Drive based upon the costs outlined in the attached proposal.
Funding Source:
Financing for this project is proposed to come from the Priority Streetlighting Fund
Council Action:
Based upon discussion.
