Sidewalk and Trails ConnectivityCITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR DISCUSSION COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE: February 13, 2003 AGENDA ITEM: Sidewalk and Trail Improvement Plan AGENDA SECTION PREPARED BY: Dan Schultz, Parks and Recreation Director AGEND4 T� , -L#- 2 ,, ATTACHMENTS: Sidewalk and Trail Improvement Plan Map APPROVED BY: The Parks and Recreation, Public Works and the Engineering Departments have been working on a Trail and Sidewalk Improvement Plan. Attached is a map that includes current trails /sidewalk and proposed trails /sidewalks. The proposed trails /sidewalks section of the map identifies locations where small connections need to be made. An example would be connecting a sidewalk on Canada Ave. from 147` St. W. to Camfield Park. The map also indicates where additional trails are needed on larger streets. An example would be adding a trail to the west side of Shannon Parkway or Chippendale Ave. - The City has $125,000 in the 2003 CEP for improvements. Staff is recommending using the CIP funds for small connections and to deal with safety concerns. The large expansion of trails or sidewalks could possibly be funded through street reconstruction projects, grants, future development, parks dedication or future referendums. Staff would ask that the Council discuss prioritizing where to start with the improvements and funding options. The Parks and Recreation Commission discussed the Sidewalk and Trail Plan at their January 27, 2003 meeting. Staff provided all of the Commissioners with a colored map and asked them to review the plan for connections and provide input as to how we should prioritize improvements. The Commission felt that installing safe trails and sidewalks because of safety concerns should be our first priority. The Commission also voiced some concern about easements and right of way' The concern was based on how residents might respond the location of some of the improvements. The Commission suggested sending out information with the monthly water bill or put information in the City newsletter to educate residents on right -of -way and all types of easements that might impact some properties. The Commission did not ask to have any changes made to the map but asked to see more information as the plan further develops. MMENDED ACTION \ NOTES: Discussion Only.
