City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • May 12, 1998 Page 4 1 are in favor of the addition of the sidewalk. There were concerns expressed in regard to the 2 maintenance. Ranallo stated the City will maintain the sidewalks. 3 Motion by Faust, second by Marks to accept the proposal for installation of sidewalks on the east 4 side of Silver Lake Road between 37'Avenue and Silver Lane at the cost presented by Dan 5 Solar, Ramsey County and to include this in the overall Silver Lake Road Bridge Project. 6 Motion carried unanimously. 7 Mornson noted this would be funded as much as possible with.MSA funds. 8 Cavanaugh asked if this would connect to the sidewalk on 37`'Avenue. He also questioned if the 9 City Manager could write the transit authorities and request that a bus shelter be built at the 10 location in front of the bank. 11 Mr. Solar noted this sidewalk will connect with the sidewalk on 37'Avenue. He stated there are 12 criteria which need to be met for the installation of a bus shelter. However, the area of that bus 13 stop could be paved out to the street. This would allow for ease of snow removal, location of the 4 bench and a potential for location of a shelter in the future. 15 Mr. Solar stated the final element of the project is the determination of the extent of bridge 16 enhancements.

This Option would cost$27,000 above the base cost of$43,000. 23 Mr. Solar presented Option 3 which would include the same features as Option 2, but at a more 24 enhanced level. It would also include more lights and bump-outs to extend the walls. This 25 Option would cost$39,000 above the base cost of$43,000. 26 Mr. Solar presented Option 4 which would include the same features as Option 3, but at an even 27 more enhanced level. This Option would cost$69,000 above the base cost. 28 Mr. Solar noted that Options 2, 3, and 4 would be for decorative purposes only and would not 29 add any safety features to the bridge. WFaust noted that the Council has been discussing this since the first meeting in regard to this .31 project in December of 1996. He stated this would be an asset to the community, would be in
