Lake Shore: Five-year road improvement plan accepted



The Lake Shore City Council accepted a five-year road improvement plan Monday.

Most improvements would be overlays and road rehabilitation. Some roads are gravel and would be paved.

Estimated costs include improvements to widen, clear and pave or repave existing roadways to bring the roads closer to currently accepted minimum city road standards. The plan is not written in stone, and could be changed.

Roads in the plan include:

  • 2008 - Ridge Road (excluding Fritz Loven Park), Doyle Parkway and Pine Point Road, for an estimated cost of $278,000. Ridge Road won't be paved through the park at this time because the Fritz Loven bridge needs to be replaced, according to a bridge report from Cass County.

  • 2009 - Portview Road and Dettbarn Road, $403,000.

  • 2010 - Rocky Point Road, Pebble Beach Road, Bishop's Landing, Anderson Road and Sandy Point Road, $459,000.

  • 2011 - Nottingham Road, Robinhood Way, Little John Road, Point Narrows Road and Cumberland Way, $506,000.

  • 2012 - Christie Drive and Agate Lake Road, $452,000.

  • 2013 - Lost Lake Road, South Branch Way, Birchwood Way, Lincoln Green and Abby Way, $323,000.

    Public hearings would be held if property owners were to be assessed for improvements.

    The council agreed to pay $18,000 in engineering fees to Widseth, Smith, Nolting for the 2008 road improvements.

    In other business Monday, the council:

  • Appointed Steven Hanousek as an alternate to the Park and Recreation Committee.

  • Appointed Chuck Bergquist as an alternate to the Wastewater/Road Committee.
