itself is somewhat of a walking path, it keeps people away. But I think speed humps would slow that
<br />traffic down, the people who live on that street don't speed on it, it's the people who are passing thru,
<br />so I think that just slowing them down would be a huge thing and I think that is all you really need to do.

<br />54:39 — Dan Dreier 7830 Spring Lake Road - I have another idea from hearing discussion about other
<br />alternatives, I used to live in Portland, Oregon, lot of good stuff there, there is some great stuff there
<br />now to. One of the things there great about is green, bicycling and pedestrian traffic, they give priority
<br />to pedestrian traffic, one of the ways they did it was they took a street that goes two ways, turned it
<br />into a one way and used the extra part to make the thing everyone wanted but it didn't affect anyone's
<br />homes, the greenspace, the canopy stayed and, I think when we look at, when it was stated earlier, the
<br />survey was a little biased, I kind of have a feeling it was more, hey were thinking were going to do this,
<br />how would you like this handled, versus a choice between turning your road into a one way road with a
<br />bike lane, or having, removing some of the trees that are closer to it, keeping it a two way road and
<br />adding an 8' trail. Those kind of considerations, I think would go a long way to serving, how do people
<br />feel about a one way. Maybe it's a terrible idea I don't know, it's an alternative. 55:54
<br />56:01 Larry Myslicki 8454 Spring Lake Road — Been there since 1975 and back in the 90's when we
<br />rejected the trail and they redid the road, the majority of residents on that road rejected it. Now you
<br />have 5 or 6 requests, is all you said, yet sounds like overwhelmingly majority again, reject that trail, so
<br />who proposed the trail, is my question, who asked for this trail?
<br />DP —The city is proposing the trail.
<br />LM - The residents are the city.
<br />DP —The city, which is staff and Stantec (contract engineers), looking at past projects and direction from
<br />council very project that we look at putting in a trail or sidewalk, so we put this in there, and we look for
<br />feedback, and that's what this exactly that meeting is for, to get that feedback and to get that direction,
<br />and yes the council is here to hear all this, and as I have said this before, if the council says to look at
<br />other alternatives then we will do that, they will receive all the information, they will receive all the
<br />comments, they will receive the comments on the survey, all that information will be presented to them
<br />and if they tell us, as staff, to take the trail out, then the trail will be out. It is not, staff telling you - that
<br />this is going in, it's what we look at, no different than the road design, if the council says we have to look
<br />at a different road design, we will look do that as well. From talking to council, whether that's in a work
<br />session or council, talking to Parks Rec and Forestry Commission again, getting that direction is where
<br />we decide what we are going to propose.
<br />I hope council is taking notes because most people don't want to lose trees, we don't want that trail, I
<br />hope they are paying attention.
<br />58:21— Kathy Smith 7405 Spring Lake Road — From what I understand I took a look at the current, in
<br />place Comprehensive Plan which is from 2008, nowhere in their states a trail, can you confirm that?
<br />DP — I don't work the Comprehensive Plan, you would have to ask Jon (Sevald — Community Planner)
<br />JS — I cannot think of what the trail plan was in 2008.
