COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 11, 2026
FROM: John Sutter, Community Development Director
TO: Mayor and City Council
City Manager Adam R. Bell
RE: TIF-funded public improvement near Wells Fargo site.
Staff has been working with Bolton and Menk to develop preliminary construction plans and a
cost estimate for TIF-eligible public improvements that would serve the new apartment building
on the Wells Fargo site. The project has three main elements:
1. Close a small sidewalk gap between 57th and 58th Ave. N.
2. Replace the pedestrian ramps, crossing signal system and related items at the intersection
of 57th and West Broadway.
3. On the south side of 57th from Kentucky to West Broadway, replace the sidewalk, add
pedestrian-scale lighting, and replace the turf boulevard with decorative concrete.
Bolton and Menk has prepared plans at a 60% level of detail, so now is a good time to check in
with the Council. At this time, the estimated costs are approximately $500,000 including
construction engineering costs. This equates to roughly one year of increment in addition to the
ten years going to the developer.
Project elements #1 and #2 are straightforward engineering solutions. However, project
element #3 (the south side of 57th) provides more opportunities for variation in materials and
style:
Pedestrian-scale lighting:
• Staff’s initial proposal is to install the same lighting we use in Becker Park.
• There are many other styles available, If the Council prefers a different style.
• Generally, we would not recommend old-style lighting (like Robbinsdale uses) because
this is not (and never will be) an historic downtown.
• The 60% plans show only five lights along the south side of 57th, but if photometrics
show more lighting is needed, then that change would be reflected in the next step
(90% plans).
Decorative concrete:
• Staff recommends either replicating the existing multicolor red-gray concrete pattern
from the Bass Lake Road streetscape, or using a patterned, sandstone-colored concrete.
• There are other options of course, but staff is suggesting these two options because the
red-gray pattern would provide continuity with the nearby streetscape area, while a
sandstone pattern would come closer to simulating a natural appearance.
• We can of course get more creative, but that would likely increase costs.
Lighting examples and three sandstone colored concrete options are attached, along with
excerpts from the 60% plans.
Staff is requesting Council feedback and discussion.

RE: Decorative concrete options for Douglas Drive medians (2027 project)
Hennepin County will be improving Douglas Drive over the next several years:
• In 2027, the county will upgrade pedestrian ramps at several intersections, remove right
turn lanes at 36th Ave. N. and 42nd Ave. N., replace existing medians at 36th and 42nd, add
medians near the pedestrian crossings at 32nd Ave. N., 38th Ave. N., and Fairview Ave. N.,
and add an RRFB pedestrian crossing warning light at Fairview Ave. N.
• In approximately 2028-2030, concurrent with a Joint Water Commission watermain
replacement project, the pavement will be reclaimed, which in terms of project scope is
more extensive than a mill & overlay but less than a full reconstruction project.
The city has previously identified these Douglas Drive projects as opportunities for
beautification. While the removal of the right turn lanes will create space for landscaping near
the 36th and 42nd intersections, actual installation of the landscaping should wait until during or
after completion of the 2028-2030 project. However, the 2027 project does provide an
opportunity to use decorative concrete instead of standard concrete on the medians.
Staff proposes to use the same decorative concrete on Douglas that will be used for the TIF-
funded improvements along 57th Avenue. The options suggested by staff are to replicate the
existing multicolor red-gray concrete pattern from the Bass Lake Road streetscape, or use a
patterned, sandstone-colored concrete. There are other options of course, but staff is
suggesting these two options because the red-gray pattern would provide continuity with
another area of the city, and patterned sandstone would come closer to simulating a natural
appearance.
Staff requests Council feedback on these two median treatment options and discussion of other
options as applicable to the Douglas Drive medians.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 11, 2026
FROM: John Sutter, Community Development Director
TO: Mayor and City Council
City Manager Adam R. Bell
RE: Holiday lighting update
A. BACKGROUND
In 2025, Public Works wrapped two of the city’s decorative
street light poles with holiday lights. This was intended as a
demonstration to help the Council determine whether it would
enhance the appearance of downtown Crystal and create a more
welcoming environment. The Council’s reaction was positive and
additional lighting was included in the 2026 EDA work plan
(excerpt below with status updates).
Page 2 of 3
B. PROPOSED PROJECT
Staff proposes to wrap all of the decorative street light poles in the Bass Lake Road/West
Broadway area (downtown Crystal).
There are 50 poles in this area, although two are being temporarily removed by Yellow Tree
for their redevelopment of 7000 56th, so the contractor would wrap 48 poles. The strands
used for the 2025 demonstration project would be installed on the two poles by the Yellow
Tree site once they are reinstalled.
Page 3 of 3
Staff recommends year-round lighting instead of seasonal holiday lighting. The area could
use a more festive vibe year-round, not just in November-January. And because the circuits
are controlled by the street light photocells, they would only be on from dusk to dawn.
At two 70-bulb strands per pole and 4.8 watts per strand, and an average of 12 hours of
operation per day, the annual power consumption would be 2,018 kilowatt hours which
would cost $273 at current Xcel rates.
C. PROPOSALS RECEIVED
So far, only one proposal has been received. The amount would be approximately $5,000
and the lights would have an estimated average life span of five years.
In addition, city staff would check each of the receptacles to verify that they are functional.
Any that have failed would be replaced by the city’s electrical contractor at a cost of
approximately $140 per replacement.
Staff is seeking at least one other proposal but it is unlikely that it will be lower than the one
already received.
D. COUNCIL DISCUSSION REQUESTED
Because the cost would be less than $25,000 and it’s in the EDA work plan for 2026, staff
can proceed without additional Council or EDA authorization.
That said, staff would like feedback from the Council on the following questions before
proceeding:
Are you comfortable with this being a permanent, year-round installation instead of
seasonal set up and take down?
Should we proceed with wrapping all 48 decorative light poles, or a smaller number of
poles?
Do you have any other questions or concerns before we proceed?
