Minnewashta Parkway Upgrade
Project No. 90-15
I
Minnewashta Parkway was constructed in its current state in the
I early 70 ' s when the City installed sewer and water in what was
then County Road 15 . The present roadway is approximately a
28-foot wide rural road section with drainage ditches and minimal
storm sewer system (see attached detail) . The road lies within a
I
66-foot right-of-way and is deficient in a number of areas in
road section, shoulders and geometrics . The roadway exists on
the City' s Municipal State-Aid system with the exception of the
Isoutherly 1 ,300 + feet which lies in the City of Victoria.
The roadway is next up on the City ' s five-year State-Aid capital
1 improvement program. This office has had various conversations
over the last four years with residents and interested parties
concerning the upgrade of this road section and also the
consideration for an off-street trail along the roadway. As will
1 be recalled, the City did not undertake any new State-Aid
construction in 1990 in order to allow us to "catch up" with the
construction fund encumbrances which were necessary to fund Lake
1 Lucy Road, Lake Drive East and Bluff Creek Drive. The timing is
therefore appropriate, if construction is to be undertaken on
schedule in 1991, that the City Council initiate a feasibility
1 study to look at the upgrade of this roadway in geometrics and
road section and to address the inclusion of a trailway system as
intended by the City's master plan for this area.
1 This project would be approached similar to the Frontier Trail
upgrade in that a series of neighborhood meetings and workshops
would be held to input the local concerns into the project
1 design . As such, it would be my recommendation that the firm of
William R. Engelhardt & Associates, who handled the Frontier
Trail project, be designated as the engineer on this project.

It is therefore recommended that the City Council authorize a
' feasibility _ study for the upgrade of Minnewashta Parkway from
Trunk Highway 7 to Trunk Highway 5 and that the firm of William
R. Engelhardt & Associates be designated as the engineer on this
project. Be it further resolved that City staff should contact
' the City of Victoria for their input and participation on this
project.
