She suggested that they consider the impact <br /> of minimizing specific aspects such as the shoulder or a trail but not minimizing the entire area. <br /> Mayor Harpstead mentioned that wording should be consistent throughout the plan for safe <br /> pedestrian crossing and access where there is a bridge with a shoulder. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if design constraint number five regarding safe access to <br /> pedestrians to "cross County Road 96 to access trails" is clear. <br /> Mayor Harpstead stated that this is a historic perspective relating to navigating the bridge. He <br /> explains that the word "cross" refers to going over the bridge. <br /> Councilmember Holmes inquired if they should prioritize items in number 11. She stated that <br /> the first,third and fourth items are priorities based on citizen input. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated that items are intertwined and it is too early to set priorities. She <br /> stated that priorities may be decided later when costs are known. <br /> Mayor Harpstead asked if changes should be made for number III. <br /> Councilmember McClung stated that the language should be stronger for design constraint <br /> number one. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding the wording of III, design constraint number 1. <br /> Consensus of the Commission was to change the wording of Ill, aspect number one to: "Can An <br /> at-grade signalized...'' It was agreed change the wording of design constraint 41 to "Review <br /> option io Determine if an at-grade..." <br /> Councilmember McClung stated that they need a construction plan in mind when working with <br /> MN/DOT so that they have input to the process. <br />
