We have contacted Mr. Emil Brandt of the Metro Council to check on the status of the <br /> request for funding on the bicycle and pedestrian pathway along Larpenteur Avenue and <br /> Coffman Street. The Transportation Advisory Board has not recommended the Falcon <br /> Heights pathway for funding to the Metro Council. It is not official yet but, according <br /> to Mr. Brandt, the Metro Council usually goes along with the recommendation. <br /> Therefore, because Larpenteur Avenue is proposed to be reconstructed and the funding <br /> from Metro Council is not available, we are recommending that the pathway along <br /> Larpenteur Avenue be constructed during the Larpenteur Avenue Street Construction <br /> project. <br /> 2. We have met with Ms. Carol Kriegler, Park and Recreation Director for the City of <br /> Falcon Heights, regarding the pathway along the east side of Coffman Street. <br /> The pathway will be six feet wide from Hoyt Avenue to Larpenteur Avenue. <br /> Typically, in the Grove Area, the sidewalk has a grass boulevard area between <br /> the curb and the sidewalk. To reduce the amount of easement acquisition and <br /> tree removal, the pathway will be placed against the back of the curb. <br /> To install the pathway, as we have proposed, will require the removal of three <br /> large pine trees on Coffman Street in the middle of the block between Hoyt and <br /> Folwell. There are bushes and other small pine trees behind the ones proposed <br /> to be removed, that will provide screening from the road. <br /> 1959 SLOAN PLACE, SUITE 200, ST.
