Member DeBenedet opined that the Roselawn portion needed to happen in some <br /> manner. <br /> Member Gjerdingen noted the cost estimates between $90,000 and $100,000 due <br /> to the significant elevation drop. <br /> Member DeBenedet noted the previous discussion tonight about keeping things <br /> together, and opined that if this was rated as a high priority now, it may actually <br /> drop lower in the overall picture. Member DeBenedet further opined that Option <br /> 2 (off-road) Roselawn to Larpenteur Avenue and the Option 1 combination <br /> should remain tied together. <br /> Member Gjerdingen explained his ranking rationale for lower priorities if an <br /> option was available for directional signage or striping to accomplish a pathway <br /> or direct traffic to a pathway versus a more expensive and comprehensive <br /> solution. <br /> Discussion ensued on how to adjust rankings, by averaging them, or re-ranking <br /> them overall; how individual rationales may skew the overall ranking supporting <br /> the need to re-evaluate individual rankings again to adjust the composite more <br /> accurately; and concurrence on the considerable expense if an on-road pathway <br /> was considered for Dale Street. <br /> Specific to the Roselawn to Pineview Court connection, Member Felice opined <br /> that, if that segment were well signed, it would make a considerable difference <br /> and make it a much more affordable option, which could provide funding to be <br /> used elsewhere. Member Felice advised that she originally ranked that as a"T' <br /> similar to the Dale Street Option 2 (off-road) option. <br /> Member DeBenedet opined that bike commuters currently using Dale Street could <br /> be directed to off-road pathways off Dale Street if they were sufficiently signed <br /> and/or striped. <br /> Members concurred that the Dale Street Option 2 (off-road) from Roselawn to <br /> Larpenteur Avenues be removed from the build-out plan entirely. <br /> Member DeBenedet noted that this would create the need to recalculate the Dale <br /> Street Option 1 combination; with Member Gjerdingen still supporting it as a"Y' <br /> as he felt the Roselawn Avenue to Pineview Court remained a higher priority. <br /> Member DeBenedet noted that, as the City Council received the PWEC's <br /> recommendations, the City's engineering staff will review all options to <br /> determine which option is the safest. <br /> Page 6 of 19 <br />
