Minetor, PE Director of Public Works RE: County Road I Pathway - Phase II Feasibility Report Shoreview City Project 90-12 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: The following report details the results of our feasibility study investigation for the construction of a bituminous pathway along the north side of County Road I from the west end of Phase I of the pathway project in Shoreview to 0 Quincy Street in the City of Mounds View. The requirements and costs associated with the construction of Phase I of the County Road I Pathway Project are detailed in our April 9, 1990, Feasibility Report to the Shoreview City Council. - PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS Approximately 1,700 lineal feet of eight-foot-wide bituminous pathway is pro- posed to be constructed along the north side of County Road I within existing right-of-way. The pathway construction for Phase II is proposed to begin at the west end of the Phase I pathway at a poin . . - y '. feet east of Interstate Highway 35W (I-35W) , and extend west to Quincy Street. The proposed pathway will require improvements under the existing I-35W bridge overpass structure. The existing bridge does not currently include any provi- sions for the construction of a pathway or sidewalk adjacent to County Road I. It does not appear feasible or safe to route pedestrians and bicycles onto the roadway shoulder under the bridge structure. It is our recommendation that this be precluded from consideration as an alternative for safety reasons. There- fore, the alternatives examined in this report all consider modifications which will allow pedestrian and bicycle movement off-roadway. A plan view of the existing bridge is shown in attached Exhibit 1. •
