355 <br />Snelling Avenue); and, 3) Where to people want to go? (i.e. the mall). They should <br />356 <br />identify the main priorities and the measurables under each one. Over time it can <br />357 <br />be consistently applied citywide. <br />358 <br />359 <br />Member Wozniak agreed and likes the idea of coming up with criteria that is more <br />360 <br />standardized. <br />361 <br />362 <br />Member Trainor stated the level of detail involved with them ranking seems absurd. <br />363 <br />They should be providing general guidance and the staff should be putting together <br />364 <br />the priorities. <br />365 <br />366 <br />Member Misra agreed, and commented she finds what they are trying to accomplish <br />367 <br />vague. She also pointed out that pathways must include ADA compliance and <br />368 <br />suggested staff look at different areas to determine what attention they may require. <br />369 <br />She would like to see staff make decisions, but with an overall guidance from the <br />370 <br />Commission. <br />371 <br />372 <br />Mr. Culver responded by law, anything they build will have to meet ADA <br />373 <br />requirements. <br />374 <br />375 <br />Member Seigler inquired how many things could be identified regarding <br />376 <br />incomplete pathway segments. He recommended they go through them, and <br />377 <br />identify the deficit with a summary. This will allow them to see a theme to which <br />378 <br />they can assign points to and come up with criteria on how to prioritize one over <br />379 <br />the other. <br />380 <br />381 <br />Mr. Freihammer responded there are about 25 segments identified on the Pathway <br />382 <br />Master Plan. Some of them do describe what type of treatment or facility that <br />383 <br />should be included. <br />384 <br />385 <br />Chair Cihacek pointed out the deficits on the list do not matter because they were <br />386 <br />scored based on someone's opinion of it. <br />387 <br />388 <br />Mr. Freihammer stated the number one item on the list is Rice Street. It vaguely <br />389 <br />requests an on or off-road pathway from Larpenteur Avenue to County Road D. <br />390 <br />Other items on the list are more specific on where the pathway should go. <br />391 <br />392 <br />Chair Cihacek explained if they have a list of five priorities with the capacity to do <br />393 <br />additives (i.e. density, near a business center, etc.), it allows them to identify current <br />394 <br />needs and allows staff to adapt that pathway plan based on changes to the additives. <br />395 <br />It is an objective system and allows staff greater capacity to fit the priorities into <br />396 <br />what they can feasibly do. He called it the Additive model. <br />397 <br />398 <br />After further discussion, all Members of the Commission agreed they are in favor <br />399 <br />of the Additive Model. Member Wozniak inquired if they could compare the <br />400 <br />current model with the Additive model to see how they come out. Member Trainor <br />Page 9 of 11 <br />
