B between Fairways Lane and Fulham Street. One resident from this area was present at the meeting and expressed concern over this possibility. There are three options to address this concern: 1. Maintain parking restriction along entire length of County Road B including area between Fairways Lane and Fulham St. 2. Allow parking in this area. This would force pedestrians to move around any parked vehicles in this area. Given the lower volume on the west end of this road segment, this may not be a significant issue. 3. Allow parking but also install a 5 -6 foot sidewalk between Fairways and Fulham. This sidewalk construction would add $23,000 to the project total. Also, this sidewalk may need to be removed and rebuilt when County Road B is reconstructed in the future depending on what the final section looks like at that time. Near the intersection of County Road B and Cleveland the interim section will transition to a permanent section that will include a raised trail section behind a new curb and gutter. This new section will narrow the roadway up several feet to provide space for the trail. A traditional pedestrian ramp will be installed to line up with the exiting pedestrian crossing across Cleveland Ave on the south side of the intersection providing safe, convenient access to the pedestrian pushbutton on the existing signal pole. PUBLIC INPUT Three comments were received during /after the January 16" Neighborhood meeting. One comment mentioned working with residents on the issue of parking restrictions which staff will certainly do in the coming weeks as well as addressing the possibility of using a rumble strip to delineate the pathway from the travel lanes. Another comment, received via email, asked about also extending the shoulder on the north side. Due to more driveways on the north side and also the issue of parking, it is unlikely we would be able to provide and protect a pathway on both sides of the roadway. The final comment, received via email, expressed some concern with the proposed use of the rumble strips and the potential issues of bicycles interacting with the rumble strips. Finally, the neighborhood group SWARN provided public comment and indicated some items that will need further review and resolution. This document is also attached. Staff will keep the PWET Committee aware of any additional input provided as we survey the neighborhood further regarding this project. POLICY OBJECTIVE Roseville, with its current pathway system and the proposed additions to that system, strives to address the transportation needs of the pedestrian and cyclist. Through the development of these proposed sidewalks, we are expanding the pathway network into the larger community, allowing users safer linkages to the regional system. This proposed pathway will connect this neighborhood to the exiting path along Cleveland Ave (going south) as well as the existing path along County Rd. B going east. FINANCIAL IMPACTS The contractual and material costs for this project are proposed to be funded by the Parks and Recreation Renewal Program. $2 million of the renewal funding is identified for pathways and sidewalks. Preliminary cost estimates have been developed, and are listed below. Additional costs may be incurred in order to address existing storm water issues and also to accommodate the additional runoff from the
