Site work and paving for a road / highway in Crystal, Minnesota. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

Introduce bikeway along Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) from West Broadway Avenue (CSAH 8) to Xenia Avenue in the City of Crystal. The existing bicycle accommodations along Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) are not consistent in terms of location and width. The west section (between West Broadway Avenue and Sherburne Avenue) provides a sidewalk that includes street trees which limit the amount of walkable space. The middle section (between Sherburne Avenue and Bottineau Boulevard) provides a multi-use trail, however, the facility is setback from Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) and deviates through the Becker Park area. The east section (between Bottineau Boulevard and Xenia Avenue) provides a concrete multi-use trail on both sides that transitions to onroad bicycle accommodations near Xenia Avenue. These inconsistencies result in user confusion and discomfort. The proposed project would construct a more continuous multi-use trail along the south side of Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) that would provide users with a more direct east/west route. Additionally, this project will upgrade the existing ADA accommodations to better serve persons with limited mobility. This project will complement a number of recent and planned activities in the area. The City of Crystal completed a streetscaping project in 2018 along Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) between West Broadway Avenue (CSAH 8) and Bottineau Boulevard (CSAH 81) that improved pedestrian facilities (including ADA), plantings, and lighting. The City of Crystal is also planning improvements to Becker Park which will include upgrades to the play area and park trails (likely to be completed in 2020). Additionally, Metro Transit has proposed its Bottineau Light Rail Transit (BLRT) Project that includes a planned station at the Bottineau Boulevard (CSAH 81) and Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) intersection. As February 16, 2023, this project is currently in the FY 2023 - 2027 CIP. Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction FY 2026. A firm timeline has not been established; however, construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
