President DeVries stated this as being the time and place set for a hearing on widening, repaving and partial sidewalk replacement on 2nd Street Southwest from 5th Avenue Southwest to llth Avenue Southwest. C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, outlined the proposed project stating that the roadway was proposed to be 60 feet in width between curbs from 5th to 9th Avenue S. W. and 54 feet between curbs from 9th to llth Avenue S.W.; on the section between 9th and llth Avenue the south curb to be only 24 feet from centerline because of the problem of the high bank on the south boulevard, this will provide for 2 lanes of traffic without parking on the south curb; the full 60 ft. roadway will provide for parking along both curbs except at specific locations where it may be restricted for turning movements and safety requirements; he said the property owners would be required to replace all defective sewer or water connections before the street is paved; he said the estimated cost of the total project is $285,320 but only 12-15% of this would be assessed. A letter from Dr. R. L. Brown of 924 Second Street S. W. requesting a passenger loading zone to be built into his boulevard was read and ordered placed on file. Mr. Robert Springer was present and stated that he owned the property at 604 - 2nd Street S.W. and also the Midway Building which at present is leased to the Junior College and subject to cancellation within 30 days; he said much of the congestion was caused by the cars at the Midway Building and felt this would be relieved when Junior College moves and therefore did not think the street needed to be widened that much. Mr. Paul Grassle, Sr. of 728 - 2nd Street S. W. inquired how long it • r� 1 • Record of Official Proceedings of the 'Common Council. • of.,the _ City of Rochester, Minn.,' February 5, 1968 take to do this work (Mr. Armstrong informed him it would take 4-6 months), he also said he did not think it needed to be 60 feet wide, this would just make this a speedway and more hazardous and suggested that the Council take another look and see if it was necessary to widen it this much. Mr. Wm. Kearns of 930-932 and 938 2nd Street S. W. inquired what would happen to their driveways that.were already steep if the street were widened and also if the street work would shut them off.completely; Mr. Armstrong stated that the driveway from curb to the side would be shortened..and the curb line will be shortened and you will end up with a less steep driveway than you have now; he said the street would have to be completely closed for some time; he said they had hoped to have this constructed in 1968; he said it would have to be done in sections and there would not be any through traffic, the preparatory work takes longer than the actual paving and he estimated -it would probably have to be closed two to three months. Mr. Garnet Spring of 713 - 2nd Street S.W. was present and stated that he had a 90 ft. lot and had no real objections to the project but wandered if it had to be paced, there is a good sand base here and he thought it could maybe just be blacktopped again. Mrs. Edstrom of 812 - 2nd Street S. W. inquired what the cost would be and was .told by Mr. Armstrong that it would be about $9.00 a linear foot for curb and gutter and street widening. Mr. A. J. Hall of 723 - 2nd Street S. W. said he ,felt the street was still good but the curb was gone and suggested that it be widened on each side and save the paving and thereby save the taxpayer a lot of money. Mae Louise Jacobs of 1004 2nd Street S. W. said she was not opposed to widening the street but was . concerned about parking and hoped that parking would be provided in front -of her property. Mr. Wm. Kearns stated that the months of June, July and August were their busiest months and felt if the work could be done earlier or later it would not affect their business q*ite as much. Mr. Grassle inquired if the utilities were all on the South side and Mr. Armstrong told him that the watermain was on the north side, sanitary sewer.in the middle, storm sewer on the south side, gas line on both sides and messenger tube on the south side. _Alderman Day suggested that the Public Works Committee try to work out in the specifications that this work be done on one side of the street at a time and in this way the people • could get to their places of business. Alderman Folkert also said he thought it should be considered to try to avoid the summer months if possible. Alderman Postier said that the Public Works Committee would take these things into consideration and try and work it out so that the businesses would not be affected too much and suggested that this hearing be continued so the Public Works Committee could give it more study. Alderman Postier moved that'the hearing be continued until 7:30 o'clock P.
