Due to the lack of available right-of-way along Edgewood drive, Staff is <br />recommending that the City install pedestrian walkways along this segment at <br />the time the street is scheduled for major maintenance. This would allow for the <br />option of changing one or both curblines to accommodate a pathway. This would <br />provide the best long-term solution for the City and the people who use and live <br />along these street segments. <br /> <br />Staff is looking for direction and reconfirmation from City Council as to if they <br />would like to proceed with a pedestrian corridor along County Road H2 east of <br />County Road 10. <br /> <br />In lieu of constructing the segment on Edgewood Drive, Staff is presenting the <br />option of pursuing the construction of a pathway along Silver Lake Road from <br />County Road H to County Road 10. The County has scheduled a mill and overlay <br />for this segment of Silver Lake Road in 2004. Although the County project will not <br />involve or disturb the boulevard areas, it still would be advantageous to <br />coordinate a new sidewalk/pathway with the repaving of the street. <br /> <br /> <br />2003 Street Improvement Project Sidewalks <br />There are three additional sidewalk/pathway segments located within the area <br />proposed for the 2003 Street Improvement Project Area. These are: <br />• Groveland Road – from County Road I to County Road 10 <br />• Knollwood Drive – from County Road H to County Road H2 <br />• Woodcrest Drive – from Knollwood Drive to Silver Lake Road <br /> <br />Staff would like direction from the City Council on these potential segments. They <br />are included in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. If the City Council wishes to <br />construct these segments, it would be advantageous to do so as part of the <br />adjacent street project. <br /> <br />County Road H Sidewalk Project. <br />As a note, a bid date of January 8, 2004 was established for the County Road H <br />Sidewalk Project. The City will be receiving bids for two segments: From Silver <br />Lake Road to the West City Limits and from Silver Lake Road to Knollwood <br />Drive. These were set up as two completely separate bids. The City Council will <br />have the option of awarding the contract for either bid or rejecting the bids and <br />not awarding a contract. <br /> <br />Information pertaining to the County Road H sidewalk status was included in the <br />January/February issue of the Mounds View Matters. Staff anticipates presenting <br />this to the City Council for action on January 26, 2004. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is looking for direction from the City Council pertaining to this matter. <br />Specifically, Staff is looking for Council input as to what trailways or sidewalks <br />they would like to construct in 2004.
