Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 10, 2014 Page 11 tion to address that parking situation, mailbox locations, and providing a safe pe- destrian pathway. Mr. Culver briefly reviewed the long-term plans for County Road B, with an an- ticipated remaining pavement life of approximately ten years at which time it would be slated for reconstruction, and if under the City's jurisdiction at City ex- pense. Mr. Culver advised that, at that time, the City would meet and work with the neighborhood to design an appropriate, more traditional pedestrian facility, likely including a raised curb and gutter urban design, while also addressing drainage issues in the area. Councilmember Willmus alerted staff to a typographical error in the RCA, misi- dentifying County Road B as County Road B-2, duly noted and corrected by Mr. Culver. Councilmember Willmus further noted several communication items that didn't make it into the packet; with City Manager Trudgeon advising that they had been provided as bench handouts on the dais for the City Council, with copies provided for the public as well. Councilmember Willmus asked that, in the fu- ture, those items be included as part of the packet when available. Regarding curb and gutter installation in the future, Councilmember Willmus questioned how far west on County Road B that would be extended. Mr. Culver responded that he estimated approximately 100' to tie into where the pavement currently narrows to form additional lanes. Regarding the segment of sidewalk proposed on the south side of County Road B, Councilmember Willmus asked if that was a result of talking with neighbors and their concerns with parking; with Mr. Culver responding affirmatively, that there would be an additional cost due to that accommodation. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Culver clarified that for that the total construc- tion cost without sidewalk was estimated at $138,000, with an additional $25,000 identified for the sidewalk for a total of$163,000. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Culver advised that, while a pathway on the north side could still be considered, given right-of-way challenges and driveways on the north side, to construct the pedestrian pathway on the north side versus the south side would be much more challenging and expensive. Councilmember McGehee opined that it made more sense to insert a piece of sidewalk that may prove more useful later on. Public Comment Gary Grefenberg, 91 Mid Oaks Lane (SWARN) Speaking on behalf of SWARN, Mr. Grefenberg recognized neighbors along County Road B, some in tonight's audience, who have sought resolution to this issue for over thirty years, even before his residing in Roseville.
