The City Council directed staff to bring the project to a work session for discussion on next steps. Attached is a proposal from Bolton& Menk with a scope of services, from final design through the bidding process, for$37,000. The costs to complete design for the bridge improvements will be paid for out of the Special Revenue Parks Fund. DISCUSSION A discussion needs to occur on how to proceed with this project. From an engineering standpoint, both sides are feasible to construct a trail. There are a number of influencing factors that will need to be considered to determine the best location for the trail, such as: ■ Cost ■ Convenience and preference of users ■ User safety ■ Access UMetro-inet.us\ardenhills\PR&PW\Engineering\Council_Actions\2009\1-20-09Memo CPRaiI Trail Process.doc 1/16/2009 Page 2 It will be important to obtain public input to determine the side of the road for the proposed trail/bridge improvements.
