REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: August 11, 2014 Item No.: 13.a Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Consider Design Modification to the County Road B Pathway Project B ACKGROUND 1 At the February 10, 2014 City Council meeting, City Council approved the installation of a 2 pathway along the south side of County Road B west of Cleveland Ave. This pathway was 3 approved as an 8 foot paved shoulder area along the in-place roadway. 4 There was one exception to the standard proposed section and that was the area between 5 Fairways Lane and Fulham Street on the west end of the project area. This section of County 6 Road B has 4 driveways and 5 lots which are impacted by the proposed design. At the January 7 16, 2014 Public Meeting regarding this proposed project comments were received related to the 8 loss of on street parking in this area. As a result, Council approved a sidewalk in this area to 9 maintain on street parking. That sidewalk was proposed to be a 6 foot walk with a 5 foot 10 boulevard. 11 Once staff was able to produce an initial design for this project, it was determined that the 12 proposed sidewalk with the boulevard would have negatively impacted at least one fence and 13 potentially several trees. Therefore, it is necessary to consider extending the blacktop surface 6 14 additional feet to provide space for both on street parking and the pathway. Attachment A shows 15 the two areas as currently proposed. 16 The residents in this area were recently made aware of this potential design modification and 17 some residents have expressed concerns over the proposal. Therefore, staff sent a survey to the 5 18 impacted properties to determine how many of these residents want to maintain on street 19 parking. Four of the five properties responded to the survey. Three preferred no parking on the 20 south side of the street and one wished to maintain parking on the south side. The resident 21 surveys received are attached. (Attachment B) 22 We are asking Council to consider the results of the survey and then direct staff to build either 23 the pathway maintaining on street parking in this area or prohibit on street parking on the south 24 side of County Road B through this area, as it will be along the rest of County Road B, and 25 extend the in-place pavement a maximum of 2-3 feet. 26 PO OLICYBJECTIVE 27 Roseville, with its current pathway system and the proposed additions to that system, strives to 28 address the transportation needs of the pedestrian and cyclist. Through the development of these 29 proposed pathways, we are expanding the pathway network into the larger community, allowing 30 users safer linkages to the regional system. 31 32 Page 1 of 2
