Consider Approval of Pathway Master Plan City Engineer Freihammer briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated July 9, 2018. He noted this plan was last updated in 2008. This update was done as part of the Comp Plan update, and the Pathway Master Plan will be included as an appendix to the Comp Plan. He noted the PWET Commission took the lead on the update, and the process included an open house and a joint meeting with the Planning Commission. He continued that the majority of the pathways are off-road pathways such as trails or sidewalks. A va- riety of sources were used to fund pathways. He highlighted some segments completed since 2008.
