MINi7TES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 22, 1995 <br />suggested that pavement be minimized to the extent <br />possible. <br />Pedersen pointed out that the Spoon Lake bridge is 30 <br />feet wide, so perhaps the road itself should be 30 <br />feet. <br />Scalze felt that the edges along the bridge were quite <br />narrow. <br />Drabik asked if a bike could pass a stroller within a 4 <br />foot shoulder. <br />Chris Cardinal pointed out that this is a shoulder that <br />is being discussed, not a bike path. <br />Fahey agreed that officially it is a shoulder. <br />However, there will be pedestrian and bike traffic on <br />it. Fahey stated that 5 feet would be better than 4 <br />feet, but it is a question of the visual impact on the <br />area and balancing the interests of the public who <br />travel around the lake. Fahey stated that he felt 4 <br />feet was adequate. <br />Pedersen pointed out that newer streets are being <br />improved to a 32 foot width. Pedersen stated that <br />there were a lot of neighborhoods in the City which <br />have little traffic through them, but the streets are <br />32 feet in width. <br />Fahey stated that a goal should be to preserve the <br />rural atmosphere of the area and that the aesthetics <br />around the lake were important. Fahey felt that trees <br />may be lost with a 32 foot width which could be saved <br />if the width were only 30 feet. <br />Scalze pointed out that the County has indicated that <br />it can save all the trees except for perhaps the two <br />cottonwoods with a 32 foot width. Scalze pointed out <br />that this improvement is a once in a lifetime <br />opportunity which should not be missed for the sake of <br />two cottonwood trees. <br />Kingsbury felt that the improvement makes the whole <br />place uglier by two feet. <br />Mrs. Hedlund pointed out that there is currently 2 to 2 <br />1/2 feet of gravel on each side of the road. The City <br />is now talking about 4 to 5 feet of pavement on each <br />18 <br />
