I Implement Trail Plan in Phases Design the trail near Waterworics and other property that could be developed soon. As those developments come up for approval, it'11 be lmown wha.t ta do. (Target 2001.) Monitor the situation with the Barott property. (Target 2001-2005.) Considez adding a north/south trail under the power Iines especially by City Hal1. Tlus needs to be investigated and there may be extenuating circumstances. (Target 2001.) Consider a trail north on 20� and then west to Hugo on 80�' to complete another loop trail. Consider a trail south on 20`� and then east by Birch street to get to the future park at Centerville Road and Birch. Traffic in Centerville Traffic in Centerville is an indirect Park and Rec subject involving traiis, pedestrians, and kids/youth abi[ity to get to parks. Traffic will continue to grow on Main St and a plan is needed to deal with the safety of people venturing out on Main St. It can't be prevented, there is no alternative route that people can take. Establish an interim plan to mark off ox do something to improve the safety of pedestrians using Main St. (Target 2001-2002.) Prepare a plan that looks at the long term and decide how a trail will be built on what is now Main St so that it might be constructed in phases as areas are developed. Over time, Main St will become more and more connmercial and there will be very little that can be done to stop it. People will not want to raise a family or live on the busy street. (Target 2001-2002 to prepare a plan. Target 2003 to 2015 to rebuild Main St in a people and car friendly way.) Also, work the issue of diverting traffic around the city. The only feasible way appears #o be a new interchange allowing traffic on 35E to get to 35W and vice versa. Begin working the issues on this new interchange with the state. (Target 2001-2002.) , Communication � Consider establishing a more formal but at the same time more fle�cible communication path between Council and Committee and Committee to Committee. At the end of all Council, Park & Rec, P&Z, and I EDC meetings, make an effort to identify all issues that ma.y require special attention to other entities. Record these issues in the minutes and put them in a special section labeled: "Considerations for Council" "Considerations for Park & Rec" "Considerations for P&Z" � "Considerations for EDC" Then, at the next meeting, the issues are readily identified and responses can be generated. Council should make decisions only AFTER feedback is obtained from all relevant committees. Otherwise, the committees are greatly weakened. For the above ta wark, time must be given for the various other entities to respond. Where questions or interaction may be expected on certain issues, delegates from Council or the particular committee should attend the respective Council or committee meeting as appropriate. These issues could be more or less first on the agenda so meeting time is minimi�ed for those crossing boundaries. Attendance of other meeting can be shared among members (it doesn't have to be one particular person). Agendas, as best as they can be determined ahead of time, need to be communicated so that representation is ma�mi�ed, If the Council is really interested in allowing public feedback, allow, on a trial basis, telephone input from citizens during Council meetings. The more the peopie of Centerville are involved, the better. Revise two areas in the operation of the City A. Review and revise Short Term Procedures and Goals.
