PATHWAY PROJECT—ADDITIONAL SEGMENTS FOR <br /> CONSIDERATION <br /> • The City's Pathway Plan was discussed at the February 3, 2003 City <br /> Council Work Session. In addition to the pathway along County Road H <br /> from Edgewood Drive to the west City limits, the City Council identified <br /> four pathway segments they would consider to be a priority. These were: <br /> Along the north side of County Road H2 - from County Road 10 to <br /> Program Avenue. <br /> Along the east side of Edgewood Drive - from County Road H2 to <br /> Edgewood Middle School. <br /> Along the north side of County Road 10 - adjacent to the wetland area <br /> located just southeast of Walgreen's store. <br /> Along the south side of County Road 10—from Woodale Drive to the <br /> south, connecting into the existing trail. <br /> • The two segments along County Road 10 were completed in the fall of <br /> 2003 as a change order to the County Road H2 Project. <br /> • Staff would like to discuss the first two segments with the City Council. <br /> Staff has investigated both sites and found that the roadway segments <br /> were excessive in width. This, coupled with the narrow boulevards and <br /> current obstructions, would make the installation of a sidewalk or pathway <br /> in these areas problematic for both the City and the adjacent residents. <br /> • Staff is recommending that the City install pedestrian walkways along <br /> these segments at the time the streets are scheduled for major <br /> maintenance. This would allow for the option of changing one or both <br /> curblines to accommodate a pathway. This would provide the best long- <br /> term solution for the City and the people who use and live along these <br /> street segments. <br /> • In lieu of constructing these two segments, Staff is presenting the option <br /> of pursuing the construction of a pathway along Silver Lake Road from <br /> County Road H to County Road 10. The County has scheduled a mill and <br /> overlay for this segment of Silver Lake Road in 2004. Although the <br /> County project will not involve or disturb the boulevard areas, it still <br /> would be advantageous to coordinate a new sidewalk/pathway with the <br /> repaving of the street. <br /> COUNTY ROAD 10 RECONSTRUCTION AND REVITALIZATION <br /> PLAN—IMPLEMENTATION PHASE <br /> • This will be discussed that January 5th City Council Work Session <br /> meeting. <br /> 5 <br />
