On February 27, 2006, the City Council approved the feasibility report, held a public improvement hearing, ordered the project, authorized the preparations of plans and specifications, and authorized easement preparation activities for the Silver Lake Road Sidewalk Improvement Project. The City Council expressed a preference to construct the sidewalk on the east side between County Road H and County Road H2. However, no official action was taken. It is anticipated that the City Council will take official action on this issue on March 27th. The City Council also requested more information pertaining to the segment along Silver View Park. The report showed the sidewalk deviating from the east Silver View Drive boulevard to avoid a wetland / ditch in this area and going through Silver View Park then back to Silver View Drive at the intersection of County Road I. The City Council had some concerns and wanted to look into the following options: A – Add security lighting along the proposed trail route B – Investigate what it would take to build a sidewalk along the boulevard on the east side of Silver Lake Road C – Investigate what it would take to construct an elevated boardwalk along the east side of Silver Lake Road to avoid flood plain impacts, wetland impacts, etc. for Option B. It is anticipated that this information will be provided to the City Council for consideration on March 27th. Meeting with the City Council on March 6th – Items to discuss.
