The Pathway Master Plan identifies another pathway for construction on Marion <br />5 Street, from the end of Phase 1 to Larpenteur Avenue. This segment will be referred to as Marion <br />6 Street Pathway – Phase 2. When completed, Phases 1 and 2 will provide off-street pathways for the <br />7 several multi-family housing units on Marion Street, to Unity Park and nearby Lake McCarrons <br />8 County Park. <br />9 F INANCIAL I MPACTS <br />10 The estimated the cost of Marion Street Pathway – Phase 2 is $293,000.
