presentation and discussion; and advised that it is in the process of being revised, and staff would provide the updated map to the Commission at a later meeting. Additional discussion included the 2013 Pavement Management Program (PMP) mill and overlay project scheduled for this summer; action by the City Council to transfer the Recycling Utility from the Administration to the Public Works Department; and recent news reports on the problems encountered from sanitary wipes going into the sanitary sewer system and plugging up pumps; and another news story on sewer lining applications, as currently being done in Roseville. 5. Pathway Master Plan Ms. Bloom briefly reviewed the updates by staff for priority segments as previously discussed for the PWETC's Pathway Master Plan Build-out Plan from the initial 2008 Plan; as detailed in the Attachments to the June 25, 2013 staff report, and seeking feedback from the PWETC on those segments and what additional fine-tuning was indicated. Ms. Bloom clarified that this was a very preliminary list with numerous assumptions; and was only intended as a platform for PWEC brainstorming and revision. Attachments are as follows: • Attachment A Pathway Master Plan Priority Table • Attachment B Parks Renewal Program Potential Pathway Project Map • Attachment C Pathway Master Plan Priority Project Map • Attachment D 2013 Pathway Map At the request of Member Felice, Mr. Schwartz advised that the pathway into the parking lot south of Har Mar Mall currently without curb cuts were on the 2013 work plan. At the request of Member Felice, Ms. Bloom confirmed that the County Road B-2 pathway funding could be carried over to 2014. Ms. Bloom briefly reviewed how staff had currently and very preliminarily identified funding sources for various segments, and whether or not reconstruction projects were involved that may provide financial assistance or other sources (e.g. Municipal State Aid funds from gas tax monies). Member DeBenedet expressed appreciation for the considerable amount of work Ms. Bloom had put into this Build-out Plan, opining that it would be very helpful. Member DeBenedet suggested the first step would be for the PWETC to agree on scoring or ranking, even though those scores may need future re-evaluation; and those amenable for on-road versus off-road facilities, based on other components and/or financial considerations. Members discussed how those major corridors already having a sidewalk on one side, but not both sides, should be prioritized (e.g. Lexington Avenue; Fairview Avenue; County Road C, etc.) based on safety, utility and traffic considerations. Comparisons were made between current priority rationale and that of the 1980's Page 4 of 14
