Mr. Schwartz clarified that the cost estimate of$5,700 was only for striping. <br /> Member Gjerdingen, in reviewing the overall rankings and segments, opined that <br /> he favored the off-road option, from County Road C to County Road C-2. <br /> Member Felice noted that the rankings may change for the Victoria segment if the <br /> off-road option is ranked higher with elimination of the striping option based on <br /> tonight's discussion. <br /> Member DeBenedet noted that the cost of striping was minimal; but he had <br /> ranked that option higher to ensure that something was done that would ultimately <br /> be better than nothing. Member DeBenedet suggested taking another shot at <br /> ranking. <br /> Member Stenlund concurred, but noted the need to keep in mind the need to <br /> determine a realistic annual allotment for accomplishing the Pathway Build-out <br /> Plan, impacted by the number of years to recommend to the City Council. <br /> Member Stenlund noted that someone needed to be realistic for this build-out, as <br /> in twenty (20) years, it would need to be redone. <br /> Discussion included which itemized options to eliminate and which to re-rank. <br /> Discussion included the Victoria stretch between County Roads C-2 and D; and <br /> County Road C, from Long Lake Road to Walnut Street depending on Ramsey <br /> County's reconstruction programming, and how to incorporate off-road trails with <br /> County projects if and when they are programmed; and how to define those items <br /> that would require all city funding or those with cost-sharing options, and how <br /> that impacted their ranking status. <br /> Map #25 —Northeast Diagonal Trail Connection <br /> Member DeBenedet suggested that the City Council and Ramsey County re- <br /> prioritize to ensure that segment happened at the right time. Based on his review <br /> of the private rights-of-way property ownership by the rail road and/or the tank <br /> farms, Member DeBenedet opined that it was unrealistic option to consider their <br /> agreement for a trail on their property. While not supporting crossing over <br /> County Road B-2, Member DeBenedet opined that a County Road C right-of-way <br /> made sense to him. Member DeBenedet supported the first two options as viable. <br /> With one of the cost columns deleted from this iteration, Member DeBenedet <br /> asked that staff reinsert that column on the next iteration. <br /> Members concurred to delete the railroad right-of-way as an option. <br /> Mr. Schwartz advised that the City was currently paying rent to the railroad for <br /> the trail from County Road C to Cleveland, which was on their right-of-way. <br /> Map #20 —Dale Street <br /> Page 5 of 19 <br />
