Ms. Bloom reviewed staffs meetings with Ramsey County and past direction of the City Council to: 1) Construct the trail along County Road B-2 between Lexington and the westerly 'City boundary as proposed; exploring an alternate west of Cleveland that would route the pathway north to County Road C; then west to Walnut Street. 2) Meet with Ramsey County to discuss potential for the reconstruction of County Road B-2 between Lexington Avenue and Rice Street in conjunction with proposed trail construction. 3) Meet with Federal Aid at MnDOT to discuss schedule and project scopes. Ms. Bloom reviewed the 'three scenanos reviewed with the agenCIes: . Ramsey County's rebuilding of County Road B-2 to correct drainage and deterioration issues; . City rebuilding County Road B-2 to the County's standards at a width of 38' ; . County turnback of County Road B-2 to the City; with the City rebuilding the roadway to City standards, allowing for a 32'-34' roadway, including concrete curb and gutter, as well as drainage improvements. Ms. Bloom noted that in all of the above-referenced scenarios, Ramsey County was not able to definitively commit to a funding level, but it was anticipated at between $300,000 - $500,000 for maintenance, not reconstruction (i.e., cold place mill and overlay), as their road funds are allocated to projects for the next three years and the potential to receive additional turnback funds. Ms. Bloom reviewed various options available and the expectations of the neighborhood; along' with estimated costs and proposed financing for a turnback option for County Road B-2
