Attachment E County Road B Pathway: Neighborhood Meeting Desirable/Prioritized Features for Pathway j• \ � � Tuesday, December 10, 2013, 6:30-8:OOpm Fairview Community Center, Room 102 Neighbors in the southwest area of Roseville west of Cleveland, north of the Midland Hills Golf Course, and south of Highway 36 convened on December 10th to discuss safety concerns around County Rd B west of Cleveland Avenue. This meeting was convened and facilitated by SWARN members Gary Grefenberg and Megan Dushin. Nineteen individuals attended and provided their ideas for features to be considered when the city plans and builds a pathway. Below is a listing of the features and considerations neighbors are requesting. Consider this preliminary feedback from the community, to be further explored in our January 16, 2014 community meeting held by the City of Roseville. Requested Features and Considerations 1. A safe pathway that is free of standing water, snow, ice, and mud and provides safe passage during daytime, nighttime, and all four seasons (including winter). 2. Consideration for all walkers/bikers, including parents taking infants/toddlers for a stroll, school-aged children going to/from their bus stop, teens and adults going to/from their city bus stop (Fairview Ave), adults and the elderly seeking outdoor exercise, those with disabilities who may walk with an instable gait or who are wheelchair bound, etc. 3. Consideration for retaining the pastoral nature of the neighborhood, such as native plantings, park bench(es), low impact lighting (if lighting is included), etc. 4. Consideration of a pervious or permeable surface to allow water to soak through the ground (to help mitigate drainage issues). 5. Sound or rumble strips between the roadway and pathway to alert inattentive drivers if veering off road. 6. Reliable pathway plowing during winter months. 7. Clear signage going both directions indicating the purpose of the pathway (shared bike/walk trail). 8. Prohibited parking on pathway side of road, marked with signage going both directions. 9. Consideration of pathway lighting that is not intrusive to Cty B residents' homes. 10. Trim brush regularly and responsibly (not fostering invasive species such as buckthorn)
