The side- <br />walks are not maintained Chat well during the winter. <br />He suggested widening the streeC and designating <br />a pathway on the side (meking the street one-way) <br />For pedestrians and cyciists. The road would be <br />maintained by the snaw plows in the winter, thereby <br />resutting in a"year-round" walkway for pedestrians. <br />He feels the City should also address the right of <br />the non-auto commuter (pedestrian/cyclists). <br />En ineer Boxrud-Responded to Goebel's suggestion. <br />h s cou no ~e considered. appropriate for MSA <br />funds unless the street was aidened and u!rbs and <br />gutters were put in or you could 3ust widen the <br />streets and not designate this area as a wa7kway. <br />Glazer-Opposed to instalting sidewalks. He feels <br />once construciion on new sidwalks b~gins, it will <br />start a pattern of addttional ,idewalks being built <br />(and there will be no MSA funding for this). <br />En ineer Boxrud-He indicated that assessmeiCs could <br />be c argea~~o ~Fe homeowner's who had property by the <br />new sidea~niks. These assessments wouid probably be <br />~in the area of 825-530 per front foot. That revenue <br />could be spent any way that the City wished to spend <br />it. <br />3. REtiIEW M.S.A.
