1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) has been prepared by the City of Detroit Lakes, Minnesota to
identify infrastructure needs and discuss proposed improvements to the City’s water,
wastewater, drainage, and transportation infrastructure. This CIP is general in nature and
outlines basic information such as location, infrastructure deficiencies, proposed improvements,
estimated project costs, probable year of construction, and possible funding allocation for each
capital improvement discussed.
2.0 PURPOSE & SCOPE OF A CIP
This CIP is intended to be utilized as a road map by City staff and City elected officials when
planning for future improvements. A CIP is often times the first step in the planning stages of a
project and is often times a key component in schedule and financial planning. The City is not
obligated to complete projects included in this CIP and it can be altered at any time. CIPs should
be visited and updated on an annual basis in order to ensure the City has a current planning
document in regards to its infrastructure system needs.
CIPs are conceptual in nature and are not intended to be a basis for design. Estimated costs and
financing splits are planning level with the primary purpose of providing a means for
demonstrating general project scale. As specific projects are to be considered in detail, a
preliminary engineering report/study should be prepared to evaluate existing conditions in detail,
specific design considerations and evaluate challenges. A preliminary engineering report will
gather the information needed to provide more detailed and accurate cost estimates.
3.0 CIP PREPARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
This CIP was prepared as a collaborative effort from City staff listed on the cover page and with
input and direction of the City Council. City staff identified projects by reviewing known
infrastructure deficiencies, needs, or projects that were being programed by outside factors (i.e.
funding opportunities, cooperative projects with other agencies, etc.). The identified projects
were programed (scheduled) by evaluating level of need/urgency, schedule of partnering
agencies, impact of capital cost and bonding to the City, and other factors. City staff utilized the
estimated costs contained in this CIP to evaluate and analyze the impact to bonding, tax levy, and
utility rates/funds. Adjustments were made to the programing to best balance all of these
factors.
It is well understood that the CIP and the related financing impact cannot possibly or accurately
anticipate or predict all of the factors that will arise in future years that will impact the City’s
ability to execute the CIP as presented. Projects contained in this plan could be deferred or
Capital Improvement Plan | 2019 – 2024 City of Detroit Lakes
Page | 4
eliminated and other project not contained in this plan will likely be added. The implementation
of the plan can and will be impact by any number of known and unknown factors. Accordingly
the CIP is thought of as a general roadmap and basis of capital project planning. It will reaming
somewhat fluid and likely adjusted annually or as needed.
4.0 PROJECT FINANCING AND FUNDING
The City generally finances capital improvement projects with a combination funds from the
general tax levy, utility funds, special assessments allocated to benefitting properties, and/or
grants from local, state, or federal agencies. This will likely continue to be the case for projects
outlined in this CIP.
The CIP worksheets contained in the appendix of this report outline possible and assumed
sources of funding and financing for the project. It should be noted that both the estimated
project costs and proposed funding sources are based on very limited information and rough
estimates. Typically, there is not detailed investigation of the various project details that can
impact the project costs. This information is evaluated in more detail as individual projects are
developed. As a result the cost information is considered to be planning level and is subject to
change.
The City has also been historically successful in minimizing project costs by securing low interest
loans and grant dollars available for public infrastructure projects. The City will continue to seek
out such funds for projects that are good candidates and when funding programs are available.
Outside funding sources administered by various state and federal agencies include but are not
limited to:
Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA)
United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development,
United States Economic Development Authority (USEDA),
Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
It should be noted that the application process for many of these programs can take substantial
time. Often the City will need to commence the application process for such programs years in
advance of planned construction dates to ensure anticipated timelines can be met. Not all
projects are good candidates for outside funding sources. The applications and administration of
such outside funds can also take significant effort and funds to complete. Accordingly, it is
important to weigh these factors in any evaluation of funding pursuits.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANCity of Detroit Lakes
DescriptionReconstruction of street, sidewalk, watermain, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer on West Avenue from Willow Street to just south of Highway 10.
Due to the lack of records, the exact age of the existing infrastructure within this corridor is unknown, but it is believed to be some of the oldest
infrastructure in the City. The condition of the existing sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer are beyond their useful life and showing signs of
deterioration. There have been frequent water and sewer failures in this area. The sanitary sewer is a critical component of the City's collection
system as this is a main trunkline and conveys flow from a majority of the City to the WWTF. In addition to deficiencies with the underground
facilities the street and sidewalk are also deteriorated. The existing pavement condition is extremely poor and experiencing extreme cracking
resulting and significant stripping. The condition is well beyond typical maintenance measures and periodic patching is no longer proving effective
in temporarily improving ride quality.

DescriptionReconstruction of street, watermain, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and sidewalk on Willow Avenue from Washington Avenue to Jackson Avenue.
The sanitary sewer replacement will include provisions for re‐routing the Jackson Lift Station under Willow Street. The project will also include the
construction of a multi‐use trail along Lincoln Avenue from Oak Street to Willow (connecting to the existing trail extending along the Sanford
Health property).
The infrastructure within this segment of Willow Street is beyond its useful life. The exact age is unknown as it predates current recordkeeping.
The sanitary sewer and storm sewers have recently collapsed near M&H. As part of the sanitary sewer replacement, it will be reconfigured to
consolidate parallel mains and upsized to accommodate future flows from the Jackson Avenue Lift Station. Rerouting of the Jackson Avenue Lift
Station will dramatically reduce the demand on the Lakeshirts and Jail Lift Stations.
The existing surface infrastructure is in extremely poor condition. The reconstruction will incorporate geometric improvements at Washington
Avenue to improvement vehicle movements near M&H.

The City, Becker County, and MnDOT have completed a transportation planning study that evaluated various signal and intersection improvements
to the TH 10/East Shore Drive/CSAH 54/Randolph Road intersection and the TH 10/Kris Street/Randolph Road intersection. Anticipated
improvements include construction of a signal at TH 10/East Shore Drive, signal modifications at TH 10/Kris Street and removal of the signal at Kris
Street/Randolph Road. The signal improvements are scheduled for construction in 2020. The project will also include the reconstruction of
Randolph Road, from Kris Street to CSAH 54, with a wider (+/‐ 36') urban section street.

Randolph Road Reconstruction ‐ Kris Street to Co. Road 54
Description
JustificationThis would be a cooperative design/construction project with MnDOT and Becker County. The TH 10/East Shore Drive intersection meets warrants
for a traffic signal. The addition of this signal allowed for the opportunity to evaluate improvements to the Kris Street/TH 10 signal which is very
inefficient. The intension would be to encourage more traffic from the industrial park to utilize the TH 10/East Shore signal. The changes to the
signals will increase the use and traffic volumes (heavy commercial traffic) on Randolph Road. Improvements to Randolph Road are needed in
order to accommodate the additional traffic.

Description
JustificationThe 2002 orderly annexation agreement indicates that the City will extend City infrastructure to the annexed areas within two years of annexation.
Water and sanitary sewer has been extended to phase I and II areas by four separate construction projects over the last 10 years. The primary
drivers for extension of water and sanitary sewer around Long Lake are; public request, groundwater quality concerns (arsenic), lake water quality
concerns, and development on south and east sides of the lake.
The west area of Long Lake is well suited for future residential and commercial/industrial development as other areas throughout the City begin to
reach ultimate build out.

West Lake Drive ‐ County 6 to Legion
Description
JustificationThis portion of West Lake Drive was originally constructed and operated as Highway 59. It was widened at some point and has been
rehabilitated with several overlays. Its current condition is very poor resulting in poor ride quality. Becker County planed to make
improvements (primarily and overlay) to the roadway in 2019. The City is working with Becker County to make more significant improvements
to this area. This area experience heavy volumes of pedestrian traffic with no dedicated pedestrian facilities. The City has identified this
corridor as the preferred route for the future Heartland State Trail through the City. In order to accommodate the state trail, the street
alignment needs to be shifted and street needs to be upgraded to an urban section as there is insufficient right‐of‐way and space to
accommodate a trail and rural section road due to design standards/requirements. Also, the stormwater from this section currently discharges
directly to Little Detroit Lakes without treatment. The only practical way to improve the stormwater management is to construct a storm
sewer, collect the water, and provide treatment prior to discharge. In order to make these improvements it is necessary to reconstruct West
Lake Drive with curb and gutter and also shift the roadway to provide space for a multi‐use trail.

Reconstruction of the alley and storm sewer on the west side of Washington Avenue between Forest Street and Willow Street. The proposed
alley will include either curb/gutter and/or valley gutter facilitate drainage. It is assumed that the existing storm sewer will need to be
replaced. Further verification is needed (televising) to confirm the condition. If the storm sewer is in fair condition it could potentially remain
in‐place, reducing project costs.

Description
JustificationThe surface of the existing alley is in very poor condition. Some of this is related to age and use. However, the surface has also be deteriorated
by poor drainage. Stormwater runoff tends to stand on the surface and/or run along the surface to storm sewer inlets. A proposed mixed use
commercial development is proposed for construction in 2020 along the central portion of the alley. The development will result in increased
use of the alley. Improvements will be need to at least than portion of the alley to facilitate access to adjacent parking and garages, and to
ensure correct grades and drainage between the alley and site.

determine appropriate improvement methods. It is anticipated that a majority of the sidewalk and curb/gutter will remain in place. Pedestrian
ramps will be upgraded to current ADA standards. Some of the underlying utilities are believed to be in good condition (replaced in early‐mid
1990's). Other portions (older utilities) will likely be replaced.

JustificationThis is a significantly important corridor both from a traffic perspective and for underground infrastructure. Portions of this street and utilities
were replaced in the early‐mid 1990's. However, portions of the pavement surface have various deficiencies ranging from heavy cracking to
heaving and significant rutting. Some deficiencies could be related to increase in traffic volume and/or poor subgrade conditions not addressed in
prior projects. Most areas have deteriorated to a condition that will not allow for effective use of a mill/overlay and will require more significant
rehabilitation or replacement. The condition of the driving surface is beyond an overlay and is in need of reconstruction.

This project would include significant reconstruction and reconfiguration of West Lake Drive. Proposed improvements include the construction
of a 10' wide multi‐use trail with a concrete surface along the south side of the existing street and new sidewalk on the north side of the street.
This will require the elimination of one side of on‐street parking or conversion of the street to one‐way traffic. The street will require complete
reconstruction with new curb and gutter and a concrete surface. Storm sewer will be partially replaced (primarily catch basins and leads) as
needed for the street reconstruction. Other improvements will include new lighting and other streetscaping elements.

West Lake Drive Reconstruction ‐ Legion to North Shore Drive
Description
JustificationThis segment of West Lake Drive was originally Trunk Highway 59 and has undergone several overlays and widening throughout the years. The
existing street and sidewalk within this corridor are in extremely poor condition and in need of reconstruction. The City's Business Corridors
Redevelopment Plan included a number of proposed improvement concepts to this portion of West Lake Drive. These improvements included
the incorporation of a multi‐use trail, parking improvements, and providing a more pedestrian friendly environment that could help enhance
business and redevelopment of this area. The design of West Lake Drive may include reconstruction to a narrower width to accomidate the
construction of multi‐use trail. The underground utilities in this segment are limited to watermain between Summit Avenue and North Shore
Drive. The segments between Lake Avenue and North Shore Drive were updated to PVC in 1998. The segment from Summit Avenue to Lake
Avenue is the original cast iron pipe (CIP) and is assumed to be 60+ years old, beyond its useful life.

JustificationThe existing watermain and sanitary sewer within this corridor varies in pipe size and type. Segments of these utilities have been upgraded to PVC
throughout time. The segments that remain CIP and VCP should be replaced. Additionally the watermain on the segment between Lake and
Washington is undersized, it is currently a 6" and should be a 12" as this is the direct connection from the water tower to the downtown area.
The existing street, curb and sidewalk are in poor condition. The street has been overlaid several times and street currently has an extreme crown.
The reconstruction of the surface infrastructure is necessary.

JustificationThe condition of the existing street and underground utilities within this segment of Holmes Street is poor. The street is severely cracked, the
sidewalk and curb is broken experiencing extreme degradation. Holmes Street is a main collector for the downtown area and experiences high
volumes of traffic, particularly after the construction of the TH 59 underpass and TH 10 frontage road.
The watermain is of CIP construction beyond its useful service life. The sanitary sewer is of VCP construction and anticipated to be in poor
condition. This main also serves as a trunkline providing service to a large area. The storm sewer within this corridor of RCP construction and is also
a trunk line. The condition of this main is unknown, however for planning level purposes, it is assumed that this main will be replaced along with
the other improvements.

JustificationThe majority of the infrastructure within this areas has been updated at some point within the last several years. This block of Lake Avenue is one
of the last remaining segments that has not been updated in this area. The water and sanitary sewer are of CIP and VCP construction, respectively.
The existing bituminous driving surface appear to have been overlaid several times. The condition of this bituminous is beyond typical maintenance
measures and is no longer a candidate for any overlay. Complete reconstruction of the driving surface is necessary. The concrete sidewalk and
curb & gutter is also beyond its useful life and does not meet ADA requirements. Many sidewalk and curb panels have been replaced as condition is
so poor spot repairs have been required.

JustificationThe infrastructure on Lincoln Avenue is well beyond its useful life. The watermain is of CIP construction and the sanitary sewer is of VCP
construction. Both of these facilities are expected to be in poor condition and due for replacement. The street including driving surface and
sidewalk are also well beyond their useful life and are not longer candidates for typical maintenance measures. Full reconstruction of both is
required.
