Attachment D Excerpt from Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes Tuesday, April 27, 2021, at 6:30 p.m. City Council Chambers, 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, Minnesota 55113 Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 13.D. 021, Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission members, City Staff, and members of the public participated in this meeting electronically due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 8. Proposed Updates to the Pathways Master Plan Mr. Freihammer made a presentation to the Commission on the Pathways Master Plan update. Member Cicha indicated regarding the ranking system, connecting to the transit system it is showing based off of 1 to 3 rating, but he saw numbers higher than 3. He wanted to be sure that they are taking connections into transit and evaluating that very highly with what paths they think they should be preferring because he thought it was pretty well understood that those that are taking transit are walking there. Mr. Freihammer explained he will have to take a look at that criteria He did not look too much at the table but that was a big need. A lot of times when they get the connected transit, they are usually connecting to multi -family which usually goes hand in hand and build off of each other. Member Spencer asked when looking at a path, understanding the City has concrete and asphalt, is there a set construction method for the paths. He wondered if there is some sort of standard that has to be followed when construction happens. Mr. Freihammer indicated the City does have some set minimum standards. The City's informal preference is to do bituminous pathways first. One of the advantages of this is bituminous is easier to maintain and is also wider so maintenance is actually easier. This is also a lot smoother for bikers to use as well. He reviewed the City standards for concrete and bituminous sidewalk construction. Page 1 of 5
