I-94 Frontage Roads - B.- I-9'4 Alignment - The Engineer referred the Council to his e ter of April 30, responding to the Councils questions on bike trails and ownership/ maintenance of the frontage roads. As the City does not have to accept ownership and maintenance,the Engineer .recommended the resolution of acceptance reflect this. Mn/DOT is required to include the bike trails and, in the opinion of the City Engineer, the paved shoulders are a benefit to the City in terms of safety and maintenance even if no bicycles use the route. City approval is necessary before the highway bids can be let. --Mottaz - City should not be stuck with bike trails in this location. Forsees problems in the future - opposes the resolution if the trails are included - are trails included in the West Lakeland segment of the .highway?

Also, the County will address improving these areas where water collects along Co. 17. Bohrer recommended the City consider installing the water main loop under the tracks as it was determined during the feasibility study that there is no casing for the water main under the tracks.
