The proposed project will complete gaps in the existing trail system. In addition <br />to updating the costs of the two segments, Council also requested that staff provide the cost to <br />finish the trail along County Road E2 from New Brighton Road to Cleveland Avenue to the east. <br />See Attachment A for trail locations. <br /> <br />Trail Segment Total Project Cost 14-Str-002 (draft CIP) <br />Highway 96 $467,000 <br />County Road F $66,000 <br />County Road E2 $125,000 <br />TOTAL $658,000 $425,000 <br /> <br />The County Road E2 estimate assumes that the trail would be extended east of Cleveland <br />Avenue to match the existing urbanized trail that was recently constructed with the bridge project <br />at 35W, utilizing the existing shoulder along the south side of County Road E2. <br /> <br />The City recently awarded a preliminary design contract to Elfering Engineering for the <br />preliminary design of the Bethel Trail project, Project #18-Str-003. Elfering is waiting to receive <br />approval of the wetland delineation from Rice Creek Watershed District. Once the approval is <br />obtained, discussions with staff will take place in the next 1-2 weeks to discuss the trail <br />alignment and design. <br /> <br />The Parks, Recreation and Trails Committee have identified the County Road F trail as a <br />priority. <br /> <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
