Specifications include, but are not limited to: The purpose for Minnesota Avenue is to provide a lively, secure, distinctive corridor to better serve the public and enhance the community image for visitors. The main goals of the Minnesota Avenue reconstruction project are to stimulate economic development in the core of the City, to raise aesthetics and create a favorable impression, to improve traffic flow, and to promote pedestrian safety and corridor walkability. A. Project boundaries: The selected consultant will complete a survey and geometric layout of Minnesota Avenue from Russell Street to 18th Street. The corridor is nearly two miles long. B. Street Section: The street will be a concrete section with a narrow, raised median. Median detailing will need to be evaluated with Parks and Recreation, Planning and Building Services, and Public Works. A variety of proposed typical sections for Minnesota Avenue were analyzed and shared with the public in the 2014 Minnesota Avenue Streetscape Plan. This document recommended the removal of on-street parking, narrowing the street to provide boulevards between the back of curb and sidewalk, and installing an elevated median along the corridor with median openings at the ¼ mile locations. The consultant will need to evaluate and recommend improvements relating to capacity, such as access consolidation and reduction, median installation, turn lanes, and any pedestrian improvements so this corridor can safely accommodate future growth. The consultant should also obtain the crash data from the SDDOT and review the crash history and recommend any improvements needed to reduce crash potential. The crash information should be included in the corridor geometrics technical memorandum. Minnesota Avenue from Russell Street south to Bennett Street was reconstructed in 2004 with a SDDOT Roadway Safety Improvement project. The consultant should analyze this concrete section to determine if any concrete rehabilitation work is needed as part of this project. C. Traffic/Transportation Planning: There are traffic signals at Russell Street, 2nd Street, 6th Street, 8th Street, 9th Street, 10th Street, 11th Street, 14th Street, and 18th Street. There is no existing fiber or conduit between Russell Street and 6th Street.
