The City Council directed staff to bring the project to a work session for discussion on <br /> next steps. <br /> Attached is a proposal from Bolton& Menk with a scope of services, from final design through <br /> the bidding process, for$37,000. The costs to complete design for the bridge improvements will <br /> be paid for out of the Special Revenue Parks Fund. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> A discussion needs to occur on how to proceed with this project. From an engineering <br /> standpoint, both sides are feasible to construct a trail. There are a number of influencing factors <br /> that will need to be considered to determine the best location for the trail, such as: <br /> ■ Cost <br /> ■ Convenience and preference of users <br /> ■ User safety <br /> ■ Access <br /> UMetro-inet.us\ardenhills\PR&PW\Engineering\Council_Actions\2009\1-20-09Memo CPRaiI Trail Process.doc <br />
