Mounds View City Council Page Four 4111 Regular Meeting August 8, 1994 D. Consideration of Approval of Improvements to Walkway Easement as Part of Street Repair Project Tim Cruikshank, Acting Administrator, reported that at the City Council Work Session on Monday, August 1, the City Council requested staff look into a funding source for the improvements to three walkway easements to be add ons to the street improvement project. Cruikshank identified the walkways as the walkway easement joining Quincy Street and Adams Street, the Greenfield easement joining the neighborhood with Greenfield Park and the Pleasant View Drive walkway connecting Spring Lake Road neighborhoods. Cruikshank noted that these easements are used by children to access schools, playgrounds and neighborhoods and all of these easements are in need of repair. At the Work Session, Public Works Director Ulrich specified that if these easement improvements could be completed in conjunction with the street repair project they could be done at a lesser cost than if the walkway easement repair was to be a separate project. Cruikshank stated that the bid cost of repair to the three walkway easements is $20, 953 . Cruikshank noted that the easement improvements could be funded through the Franchise Fee Fund. Councilmember Quick asked that asphalt be cut under fences so mowing doesn't have to be done in those areas. • Cruikshank stated that this could be added to the project specifications.
