124 Chair Ficek asked if there was any option in the plans to use permeable pavement 125 for the trail and or the road and or the parking bays if that option is done. 126 127 Mr. Freihammer explained the City is open to using permeable pavers. There are a 128 couple of examples in Roseville but there has not been too much excitement about 129 some of the maintenance related to them or the longevity but the City could look 130 into that. 131 132 Chair Ficek wondered if Cool Seal could be used, a white coating over the road to 133 reflect the sun and reduce pavement temperature. 134 135 Mr. Culver indicated he has done a little research on this but has not seen a lot of 136 communities using it yet. It is something the City can continue to look at. The 137 biggest issue for the City is if using bituminous and then putting some sort of paint 138 or something over the bituminous, how does that impact the long-term life of that 139 bituminous. He indicated it was a great idea but there are some things the City is 140 worried about with trying some of the more unconventional treatments. 141 142 Member Misra explained she was happy to see some of the proposals on the traffic 143 calming ideas. She thought that was really worth pursuing, not just on this project 144 but others moving forward. She added encouragement to look at less impervious 145 surfaces where possible. 146 Mk 147 Mr. Culver thanked the Commission for the comments and questions and indicated 148 staff will be bringing another update to the Commission in the near future. 149 150 Mr. Freihammer thought this would be brought back again in late fall, October or 151 November with a feasibility report as well as a neighborhood meeting in August. 152 153 6. City Council Joint Meeting Discussion Items 154 Mr. Culver explained the PWETC is scheduled for its annual joint meeting with the 155 City Council on July 11, 2022. He reviewed the items the Commission considered 156 and acted upon throughout the year and asked the Commission to provide a list of 157 topics to discuss with the City Council. 158 159 Chair Ficek explained the discussion on the pathways master plan was a good 160 discussion and the recommendation that came out of it was great with good 161 conversation and back and forth discussion with residents. He thought that was a 162 great example of how things should work. 163 164 Member Misra thought it was helpful to go through the historical items and a few 165 ideas she had is the Commission talked about No Mow May and she thought 166 expanding on that might be interesting and think a little bit about expanding 167 pollinator programs for the City. There is some of the habitat by City Hall is 168 wonderful and has been successful for a while. Maybe expanding some of that into 169 the parks program and even recommendations for homeowners who might be Page 4 of 7
