Mounds View City Council August 26, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 10 <br />the intersections but kids are going to try to cross at non-intersections and she feels it is the City's <br />responsibility to protect them from the vehicles that cannot see them because the trees were <br />added. <br />Council Member Marty suggested looking into a type of breakaway fencing to keep bicyclists out <br />and cause less damage to vehicles that would hit it. <br />Council Member Thomas said she does not care what kind of barricade is used but feels blocking <br />access to bicyclists is necessary. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked if the estimate for the project is $6,500,000. <br />Director Ericson indicated that it was. <br />Council Member Marty said he finds the projection heartening due to the fact that when <br />discussing the pedestrian bridge that alone was estimated to cost $1.5 million. <br />Director Ericson commented that the estimate does not include the under grounding of utilities <br />so, if accomplished, that would increase the costs. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated a lot of early cost projections included replacing the bituminous but <br />since it was milled and overlaid the estimate does not include any new bituminous. He then <br />indicated that the general life expectancy of the bituminous is 8 to 10 years so, if this project is <br />pushed out for a number of years, there maybe additional costs for new bituminous which would <br />hopefully be borne by the County. <br />Director Ericson indicated he would look into the concerns of Council Member Thomas. <br />Council Member Stigney asked for clarification as to the use of the word acquisition in the <br />Resolution. <br />Director Ericson indicated the word acquisition is used in terms of acquiring funding. <br />Council Member Thomas asked where the City is with the surveying for the trailway. <br />Director Ericson indicated he had stated in his Staff report that the first action would be to move <br />forward with employing the services of a surveyor to survey the trailway through the corridor. <br />He then indicated that a surveyor was used to survey the Perkins and business park area. He <br />further indicated he would be preparing a request for proposals for Council review. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Marty. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5824, a <br />Resolution Formally Adopting the County Road 10 Redevelopment and Revitalization Plans as <br />Prepared by URS Corporation. <br />• <br />
