• Vti-rk,. <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> Memo To :Mayor and Council Members <br /> From :Ric Minetor, City Engineer/Director of Public Works <br /> Date :May 2 , 1990 <br /> Subject :Proposed trail along County Road I <br /> from I-35W to Quincy Street <br /> The City of Shoreview has proposed constructing a bituminous <br /> trail from Aldine Street in Shoreview to I-35W. Since a number of <br /> children and adults are expected to use this trail to travel to <br /> Pinewood School and other locations in MOunds View, the City of <br /> Shoreview is asking if Mounds View wishes to participate in their <br /> project in order for the trail to extend from I-35W to Quincy <br /> Street. We currently have sidewalk along County Road I west of <br /> Quincy to Highway 10. <br /> The section of this trail in Mounds View would be approximately <br /> 1375 feet in length. According to Shoreview's feasibility study, <br /> the cost of the Mounds View portion of a bituminous trail would <br /> be $14 , 000 . This includes engineering, administration, and <br /> • contingency items. <br /> The feasibility report does not address the I-35W bridge concern. <br /> The feasibility report calls for routing pedestrian and bicycle <br /> traffic onto County Road I to cross under I-35W. The trail costs <br /> identified do not include any off street crossing scheme for this <br /> underpass. While County Road I is wide enough at this point to <br /> allow some pedestrian and bicycle traffic, the issue of safety is <br /> a concern. <br /> If the Council determines that the proposed trail project would <br /> be appropriate for Mounds View, the source of funds could be the <br /> _ • . • • ' ear or to increase the <br /> transfer from the Silver Lake Woods Improvements account. <br /> • <br />
