Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes May 18,2010 <br /> Page 3 <br /> B. 694/Hwy 51 —Bike Ped Discussion—Rich Straumann <br /> Committee Member Straumann reported that the crossing over 694 is not possible with <br /> the current configuration. He indicated this crossing has been discussed as a gap in the <br /> trail system and Ramsey County has it on their Active Living Ramsey County gap list. <br /> Mr. Straumann handed out a concept for a trail that would cross over the bridges and in <br /> front of Bethel University. He indicated there could be a problem with getting the <br /> permission to do this since Bethel is not in favor of having a trail that close to their <br /> campus. Mr. Straumann feels the trail is a possibility if everything works out with Bethel <br /> and would like to bring this forward for public comment at the next Council meeting. <br /> Discussion ensued about other alternate routes for the trail. Mr. Straumann indicated if <br /> Mn/DOT does not widen the two bridges the trail will not happen. <br /> Council Liaison Grant mentioned he has concerns as to whether the bridges would <br /> support a trail. He feels it would be best if the City, with Ramsey County, expressed the <br /> importance of this trail to Mn/DOT. <br /> Mr. Straumann indicated there is a meeting with Active Living Ramsey County, the <br /> Biking and Walking Task Force, Mn/DOT and Met Council Transportation at Falcon <br /> Heights City Hall on Thursday, May 20th from 6:00-8:00 pm. He asked that the PTRC <br /> members attend this meeting. <br /> Ms. Olson stated the reason Bethel is not in favor of the trail is because of security issues. <br /> Discussion ensued on whether the trail would result in a security issue. <br /> Council Liaison Grant indicated he would like the Ramsey County Board of <br /> Commissioners to state they are in favor of this trail and vote on it as a motion and then <br /> send to Mn/DOT. <br /> Mr. Straumann provided a 9-page map that Active Living Ramsey County put together <br /> showing trails and gaps in the trails. He indicated the map showing the gaps was voted <br /> on by Active Living Ramsey County. <br /> Council Liaison Grant felt they should motion that the committee take this to Council to <br /> pass a resolution of support and then send to Mn/DOT and to try to get RamseyCounty <br /> y <br /> to do that as well. <br /> MOTION: Ms. Garretson motioned to recommend that MnDot incorporate a <br /> pedestrian friendly infrastructure in the 694/51 redesign and encourage <br /> the City Council to forward a resolution of support to Ramsey County <br /> and MnDot. Ms. O'Malley seconded the motion. The motion carried <br /> unanimously. <br />
