Discuss Trail way and Sidewalk System: We have a Trail way booklet from May 1992 that <br />needs updating. If we can get an electronic copy, we can recommend changes. There is a <br />map of existing and proposed trails and sidewalks from the 2008 Comprehensive Plan that <br />also needs updating. Can coordinate with Minnesota State Aid streets and Metro Transit <br />bus routes. <br /> What constitutes a trail way? Is it just off-road, or does it include shoulder/parking lanes? <br /> Do we need to mark it with double paint stripes? <br /> Need to identify which existing trail ways have sidewalks and which are shoulder/parking <br /> lanes. Then find what is connected and where gaps are. <br /> Need to look at Street and Utilities Committee plans for upcoming street projects next year <br /> and consider suggesting trail ways. <br /> Kroeger, Kunz, and Peterson will meet with DeBar to discuss trail way system and <br /> make suggestions for improvements to October meeting. <br />
