Nays: 0 <br />Motion carried. <br />4. Communication Items <br />City Engineer Jesse Freihammer provided a brief review and update on projects <br />and maintenance activities listed in the staff report dated August 25, 2020. <br />Mr. Culver noted Youth Member Jana Lynch was reappointed to the PWETC for <br />another one-year term. He updated the Commission on the Campus Master Plan <br />progress. He also reviewed storm damage the City received recently. <br />Mr. Culver reviewed the Roseville Pathway map with the Commission. <br />Chair Wozniak asked if there were any restrictions on vehicles for the City <br />Pathways and which Department in the City is responsible for setting any speed <br />limit signs on pathways. He noted his questions are a result of seeing some small <br />electric vehicles on the parks pathway a couple weeks ago. He thought the <br />prevalence of those is only going to grow in the upcoming years as batteries get <br />smaller and people find more creative ways to move around. <br />Mr. Culver indicated he will review what the specifics may be for motorized <br />vehicles on a pathway, on a sidewalk. He was not sure if the City had any local <br />ordinances that would supersede state law. He knew with the arrival of scooters <br />communities did change some of their ordinances to address some of the rental <br />ones. He noted Roseville does not have many of the rental scooters currently and <br />they are not regulated. There is State Law regarding use of motorized vehicles on <br />pedestrian facilities. The City would currently rely on that. As far as speed limits <br />are concerned, there is no official speed limit for the pathways. He noted the Parks <br />Department has very specific criteria for anybody who might be driving a vehicle, <br />such as a maintenance vehicle, on trails and keeping it at five MPH or less and <br />someone walking with the vehicle, etc. in order to avoid conflicts. <br />Member Spencer asked if there was any update on the pathways around the mall to <br />accommodate more people who might be walking or riding bikes with the <br />construction of the apartments and buildings around the area. <br />Mr. Culver explained staff has not seen anything specific as to what might go in <br />when the apartments go in. This is being delayed right now. He reviewed what the <br />proposed plan will be for pathways from the new development area to the mall. <br />Chair Wozniak indicated he saw in the City newsletter that there is going to be a <br />fall City cleanup event. <br />Mr. Culver explained that was correct and should have been in the communication <br />items. He noted there is a shredding day coming up on Saturday, September 121h <br />with more details regarding that on the City website. He also indicated there will <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />
