PARKS,TRAILS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES <br /> February 24, 2009 <br /> Page 3 of 8 <br /> Ms. O'Malley stated she felt the west side was safer for children coming out of the <br /> neighborhoods and would not have to cross the busy roadway to get to the trail. <br /> Mr. Jones questioned if there would be a barrier between pedestrians on the trail and traffic along <br /> Highway l 0. Mr. winter explained he has recommended some concrete barriers. <br /> Chair Peck stated the Committee does not want a crossing but does need to make a <br /> recommendation on where the underpass should be located for this trail. <br /> Mr. Messerly questioned if the trail would be lit and that if it was not, the pedestrian and bicycle <br /> p Y <br /> traffic would need to be very cautious while crossing driveways. Chair Peck agreed that site <br /> lines would need to be reviewed. <br /> Council Liaison Holmes stated an additional benefit to the west side would be connection to the <br /> trail created by Roseville along the south segment near Snelling Avenue. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding a trail crossing near the Bethel entrance aloe with the safety <br /> Y <br /> concerns for pedestrians and bicycle traffic. Ms. Olson indicated if the City were to recommend _ <br /> a crossing, this would have to be a safe crossing_ <br /> Mr. winter indicated the west side could require board walk construction near the lake which <br /> was a bit more expensive and was written into the estimate. He explained that along the east <br /> side, there were several steep driveways that would need grading work, which added to the <br /> expense of Lhe iiall. <br /> Chair Peck questioned how wide the trail would be under the bridge. He asked if the engineering <br /> g g <br /> work has been completed for the underpass and if CP Rail was approving the plans. Mr. winter <br /> explained the trail would be eight feet wide and that CP Rail was in favor of the underpass as <br /> long as the City does not impact the structural integrity of the bridge. <br /> Ms. Hilgers questioned if the west trail estimate of $238,000 included the boardwalk. Mr. <br /> Winter stated the boardwalk was required and that this number did include the boardwalk. Ms. <br /> Olson stated the City could possibly seek federal funding and grants to assist with the trail <br /> corridor expense. <br /> Ms. Hilgers stated she would like to see the trail stay on one side of the corridor and that she was <br /> not crazy about the idea of pedestrians crossing over this roadway, especially children_ Chair <br /> Peck agreed. <br /> Chair Peck questioned if the watershed district would need to be involved with this project. Mr. <br /> . p � <br /> Winter indicated he has already met with the watershed and that there were several requirements <br /> for linear trail projects with regard to storm water. <br />
