1.a. No unique issues. 2.a. It appears that we have ample right -of -way in front of the five or six houses on the east side ofJackson. Further confirmation is needed. Sidewalk currently exists on the south portion in front of the townhomes. 3.a. No unique issues assuming we have right -of -way along townhomes. 3.b. Right -of -way is 33 feet. South portion is being used as an access to a home north of Allen. This would essentially be an "off - street" trail if DeSoto is not improved. 4.a. This section poses a challenge due to the need for acquisition of at least two parcels. (Hoelscher at 3047 Payne and Heinel at 3007 Vanderbie.) 4.b. This represents the safest way to cross Edgerton. Crosswalk option is less expensive, but more dangerous. I believe the most economical time to schedule this project is in conjunction with I694 /County Road D /Edgerton Street project. 5.a. This would be a way to connect Pioneer and Spooner areas to the Westwind area as well as the power line trail. I feel there is an ultimate need for both of these connections. 5.b. If Ramsey County does not re -align this section of pavement to the center of the right -of -way when the road is improved, we will need to acquire easements from five properties. The road is paved right up to the property lines on the east. There will also be relocation of several utility poles needed with the present pavement alignment. 6.a. The main obstacle here is the crossing of a railroad track and South Owasso Street. 7.a. This could be a cooperative effort across school district property due to the school wanting to improve a walkway from the school to the area ofJackson and Demont. 8.a.b.c. Challenges include the possibility of a need to acquire additional right -of -way. Sections of this area presently receive a lot of pedestrian traffic next to roadway. The need will increase as development continues along Rice Street. 2
