28 Nays:0 <br />29 Motion carried. <br />30 <br />31 4. Communication Items <br />32 City Engineer Jesse Freihammer provided a brief review and update on projects <br />33 and maintenance activities listed in the staff report dated August 25, 2020. <br />34 <br />35 Mr. Culver noted Youth Member Jana Lynch was reappointed to the PWETC for <br />36 another one-year term. He updated the Commission on the Campus Master Plan <br />37 progress. He also reviewed storm damage the City received recently. <br />38 <br />39 Mr. Culver reviewed the Roseville Pathway map with the Commission. <br />40 <br />41 Chair Wozniak asked if there were any restrictions on vehicles for the City <br />42 Pathways and which Department in the City is responsible for setting any speed <br />43 limit signs on pathways. He noted his questions are a result of seeing some small <br />44 electric vehicles on the parks pathway a couple weeks ago. He thought the <br />45 prevalence of those is only going to grow in the upcoming years as batteries get <br />46 smaller and people find more creative ways to move around. <br />47 <br />48 Mr. Culver indicated he will review what the specifics may be for motorized <br />49 vehicles on a pathway, on a sidewalk.

He knew with the arrival of scooters <br />51 communities did change some of their ordinances to address some of the rental <br />52 ones. He noted Roseville does not have many of the rental scooters currently and <br />53 they are not regulated. There is State Law regarding use of motorized vehicles on <br />54 pedestrian facilities. The City would currently rely on that. As far as speed limits <br />55 are concerned, there is no official speed limit for the pathways. He noted the Parks <br />56 Department has very specific criteria for anybody who might be driving a vehicle, <br />57 such as a maintenance vehicle, on trails and keeping it at five MPH or less and <br />58 someone walking with the vehicle, etc. in order to avoid conflicts. <br />59 <br />60 Member Spencer asked if there was any update on the pathways around the mall to <br />61 accommodate more people who might be walking or riding bikes with the <br />62 construction of the apartments and buildings around the area. <br />63 <br />64 Mr. Culver explained staff has not seen anything specific as to what might go in <br />65 when the apartments go in. This is being delayed right now. He reviewed what the <br />66 proposed plan will be for pathways from the new development area to the mall. <br />67 <br />68 Chair Wozniak indicated he saw in the City newsletter that there is going to be a <br />69 fall City cleanup event. <br />70 <br />71 Mr. Culver explained that was correct and should have been in the communication <br />72 items. He noted there is a shredding day coming up on Saturday, September 121h <br />73 with more details regarding that on the City website. He also indicated there will <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />
