The City was awarded $10,000 through the Statewide Health Initiative Program (SHIP) <br />through Washington County to study the feasibility of a trail in the Goodview Avenue area. The <br />Council had approve a proposal from WSB in May, 2020, to do the study. The scope of the study <br />was along Goodview Avenue between Geneva Avenue and Egg Lake Road, and north to 145th <br />Street. There is a sidewalk at the north end of the project area connecting to Oneka Lake <br />Boulevard, and a sidewalk to the south along Egg Lake Road that connects to the Hardwood <br />Creek Regional Trail. At their meeting of August 18, 2020, the Parks Commission reviewed and <br />provided input on a wetland delineation and trail options drafted from WSB. At the meeting on <br />September 16, 2020, the Parks Commission identified that an 8’ trail on the west side of <br />Goodview Avenue with a 5’ shoulder was preferred. The trail between 145th Street and Geneva <br />Avenue was estimated at $1.4 - $1.8 million, and the segment from Geneva to Egg Lake Road <br />was estimated at $500,000 - $650,000. The Parks Commission was not interested in <br />constructing either of these trail segments due to the cost, but would like to construct them in the <br />future if grant funding or other source of funding became available. The Commission <br />recommended Council approve the Goodview Avenue Trail Feasibility Study which would <br />allow the City to apply for grants in the future. <br /> <br />Weidt made motion, Klein seconded, to approve the Goodview Avenue Trail Feasibility <br />Study. <br /> <br />Roll call vote – all ayes.
