Memorandum To: City Council Fm: Julie Trude representing the Ped. Bridge Interview Panel Date: April 26, 1995 -resubmitted for Dec. '95 work session Re: Pedestrian Bridge Task Force All of the engineering/design firms recommended the city appoint a citizen task_force tolielp determine the needs & desires of.otential users of the .edestrian bridge. The engineering contract provides for three task force meetings to accomplish this goal and one city council presentation. The interview committee discussed the potential diversity that would help create a functional design that encourages use and serves as a focal point in our city's center. With these factors in mind, Cathy Bennett, Mary Saarion and I have met and discussed groups and users that should be represented on this task force. We propose the following persons be appointed to the Pedestrian Bridge Task Force as representatives of the listed groups or users: Mounds View Square - John Streeter, Construction Mgr., Paster Enterprises Hwy. 10 Task Force; Parks & Rec. Comm. -Pam Starr Marketing Task Force (& family biker) -Debbie Oman Daycare provider (stroller user/mother Edgewood student) -Kathy Schwalbe Wildwood Manor/wheelchair user - George & Florence Johnson Irondale student who bikes, roller blades, playground leader-Angie Winkel Trailway Advocacy Group -Linka Holey or Tom Field (dep. on availability) Planning Comm. (& MNDOT employee) -Marshal Johnston Staff Representative -Mary Saarion Council Liaison - Julie Trude Addendum: Since the time this memo was prepared I would also like to ask Suzy Kaiser to recommend one or two middle school students. The Edgewood staff has been very concerned that several of their students have been hit crossing the Hwy. Making sure the bridge is enticing to this age group is very important.
