MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MAY 11, 1994 Pedersen suggested that a survey be done to determine if the residents want a sidewalk improvement and if they are willing to pay for it. Pedersen reported that the City of Minneapolis assesses the cost of sidewalks. Morelan pointed out that the sidewalk improvement would benefit residents on Lake Street, Rose Place, and Lakeshore Avenue between these two streets. Morelan reported that there are currently children from that area cutting through yards in order to get over to the convenience store. Morelan estimated that that was another 27 homes which would benefit by the sidewalk improvement. Morelan felt that from a safety standpoint the City needed to provide a sidewalk in this area. Scalze felt that the blacktop path through the quiet area along the Jackson Street easement should be improved whether a sidewalk along old County Road C and Lakeshore is improved or not. Morelan agreed that the issues were separate and that one did not necessarily preclude the other. Scalze also pointed out that there is a 30-foot road easement from the end of Lake Street to 5avage Lake, and suggested that a blacktop path be improved down to the lake shore. Pedersen asked what the path would go to. Morelan asked if this path were on the master plan. Scalze replied that it was not, but felt it was something that should be considered. LaValle suggested that there were some large trees in the center of the Jackson Street easement area, and asked if it were feasible to extend a trail to Australian given the location of these trees. Scalze thought that the trail easement had been staked last year and it was determined that a trail could be extended without disturbing any trees. LaValle suggested that the Public Works Superintendent verify this. 7
