AGENDA ITEM NO. 3B <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Rick'DeGardner, Parks and Recreation Director <br />DATE: <br />TOPIC: New Snow Removal Policy for Trails <br />ugust 4, 1998 <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Parks and Recreation Department would like to institute a <br />snow removal policy for our trails system. This would allow <br />residents to enjoy our trails system year round. <br />Attached is the proposed policy. Trail segments are indicated <br />as an A Priority or B Priority. Following a snow fall of 2" or <br />more all A Priority paths will be cleared. Upon completion of <br />all A paths the B Priority paths will be cleared. There are <br />some trail segments within the city that will not be maintained <br />during the winter months. <br />Chemicals, such as sand and salt will not be used. Currently <br />the underpass near Rice Lake Elementary School (under Birch <br />Street) is salted and sanded when conditions warrant. This is <br />the only trail segment where chemicals are applied. Trail <br />segments that have boardwalk are not scheduled to be plowed. <br />The trail priority designations will be reviewed annually. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Approve New Snow Removal Policy for Trails <br />2. Send back to staff for further review. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option No. 1 <br />sw /rick /New Snow Removal Policy for Trails Green Sheet.doc <br />
