November 15, 2010 (Regular Meeting) Page 214 Description: The existing public park is in poor condition and under -used. The proposed improvements will bring new life to the park and serve as a pedestrian gateway into the campus. Improvements include brick sidewalks, water feature, site furnishings, drainage, landscaping, irrigation, walls, lighting, and associated wiring. Status: Pending funding, this project will immediately begin with site design. Construction is projected to begin in summer /fall 2011. NCRC Interstate Signage - NCDOT. Budget: $90,000. This is the full estimate for this project. However, the City is hopeful that this number can be reduced somewhat through a partnership with NCDOT.- Description: There are currently no directional signs on the interstate directing travelers to the NCRC. This would resolve that issue with new directional signs being constructed and installed on 1 -85 at exit 54, exit 63 and exit 60. Status: Pending funding and an agreement with NCDOT, this sign installation project would occur in 2011. Final pavement of North Main Street. Budget: $130,000. Description: The reconstruction of North Main Street in front of the Core Laboratory building needs its final phase of asphalt to finish the project. Currently, the exposed sewer manholes create driving hazards on this well travelled street. This is now a City- maintained street. Status: Pending funding, this work will begin in Spring 2011. 8th Street Stormwater Line. Budget: $834,000. Description: Replacement of approximately 310 linear feet of storm drain pipe and the installation under Loop Road at the 8th Street Greenway. This project will open up approximately 500 of the NCRC site to future development. Originally included with this stormwater line was a pedestrian tunnel (similar to 8th Street /Village park project) but it was determined that this was not a high priority at this time. Status: Design work is completed. Pending funding, construction will begin in 2011 Completion of NCRC Phase I Streets. Budget: $360,000. Description: The final asphalt overlay of Research Campus Drive, Laureate Way, and Biotechnology Lane needs to be completed within the NC Research Campus. The final paving will finish the roadway network and will remedy the Current situation of manholes and valves posing driving hazards to motorists. These streets are now maintained by the City. Status: Pending funding, this work will begin in Spring 2011. NCRC Phase II -A Infrastructure. Budget: $3,471,296. Description: This project is an extension of Research Campus Drive (in front of the Core Laboratory Building) north to Main Street and Loop Road (with two side streets) as well as a new street connecting Loop Road and Laureate Way. Included with the street extensions would be water, sewer, stormwater, streetscape improvements. This would open up significant land for new vertical construction on the NCRC. Specifically, there is a new
