Resolution No. 05 -35, Authorizing Preparation
of Plans and Specifications for Birch Street
Trail Project
Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
City Staff is requesting City Council approval to prepare plans and specifications
for the Birch Street Trail Project. This trail project was approved by the City
Council as part of the Park Board's 2004 Goals. The project is located along the
north side of Birch Street, from Black Duck Drive to Pheasant Hills Drive. This
much anticipated project has been under consideration for several years and will
be a tremendous asset for our residents. For example, residents in the Quail
Ridge subdivision will finally have the opportunity to enjoy the parks and trails
system. From a safety perspective, this will provide an alternative for
pedestrians/bicyclists who regularly utilize the narrow shoulders along Birch
Street.
Funding will come from the Dedicated Parks Fund.
The schedule for this project is as follows:
City Council Authorizes Plans and Specifications
