In regazd to the proposed pedestrian bridge, Ms. Olson asked if the remaining <br />20 X that is not covered by the grant will all be assumed by the residents. <br />Mayor Linke responded no, the 3 % which was added into the budget will only <br />raise approximately $46,000. The other funds will come out of the street light <br />utility fund and the franchise fees. <br />Ms. Olson asked what it will take in order for the council to decide against the <br />pedestrian bridge. <br />Mayor Linke stated he has received only a few calls and one letter in <br />opposition to the bridge. The work sessions that the council has had have <br />been very positive. He noted however, that the council needs to hear from <br />the residents in regazd to their feelings about the proposal. <br />Ms. Hanlrner stated she has had heard many people talk in opposition of the <br />bridge. She has had only one call in favor of it. She is not sure where the <br />people live who support the proposal. She stated she is still inclined to <br />support a zero percent tax increase and if the residents show an overwhelming <br />support of the bridge, she would like to see something dropped from the <br />budget to allow for it. <br />Ms. Trude stated the main purpose of the bridge is to allow safe transportation <br />for the children across the highway as well as provide a link for the bike trail <br />system. There are people in the senior center without vehicles who would <br />like to patronize the businesses on the other side of the highway. This would <br />provide them with a safe alternative to crossing a busy roadway. She stated <br />the people that she has talked to not only feel it is a safety issue but also an <br />enhancement to the city. <br />Ms. Olson asked if a study has been done to determine how faz from the azea <br />the kids who will use the bridge actually are. <br />Ms. Trude stated this is part of the proposal that the engineers offered. <br />Ms. Olson pointed out that the residents could end up with a 3 % levy on the <br />property taxes prior to any feasibility studies even being done. The decision <br />would be made prior to the studies. <br />Mayor Linke stated yes, the money will be used to do the engineering studies. <br />Ms. Trude stated before the Council's last work session 500 letters went out to <br />inform some of the area residents what was being proposed. She stated that <br />letters were signed by about 20 people in favor of the bridge. These letters <br />only resulted in one phone call against the bridge. <br />
