Page 2 of 3 years ago between County Road C and Woodhill Drive. There are also existing pathway 26 connections at County Road C and at Harriet Avenue on either end of the corridor. 27 Additional east/west pathway connections are available at Woodhill Drive, West Owasso 28 Boulevard and County Road D. 29 This pathway segment has been on the City’s Pathway Master Plan, Segment 10 30 (Attachment D), for many years. The pathway connection would provide better access 31 between neighborhoods and three schools as well as the Owasso Ballfields and Central Park. 32 In 2016, the City Council received a petition (Attachment C) from residents to begin 33 planning and to install a pathway on this segment. Due to the existing topography, installing 34 a pathway in this corridor is more difficult than other segments where the City has installed 35 in the past. Due to the high cost of the project, getting outside grant funds is likely the only 36 way the project can be funded. 37 POLICY OBJECTIVE 38 From the City’s Pathway Master Plan, Policies and Standards, the following policies would be met if 39 this pathway segment were completed: 40 2) Provide pathway facilities along all roads. 41 a. Develop a pathway along all arterial roads where equal alternate parallel routes are 42 not available. 43 5) Provide a safe network of pathway linkages for pedestrians and cyclists to and between 44 educational facilities, churches, business centers, transit stops, parks and open space. 45 c. Parks, open space and transit stops shall have a pathway connecting them to the 46 pathways network. 47 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS 48 The current estimate for the project from the 2022 Study is $3,000,000. The 2028 estimate, 49 including inflation, is $4,000,000. The maximum regional solicitation award for the Safe Routes to 50 School category is $1,000,00 so the local project cost would be $3,000,000. Per Ramey County’s 51 cost share agreement, they would fund half the project ($1,500,000) and the remaining costs would 52 be split between the cities. Based on the pro-rata length of the trail, the City of Roseville’s costs 53 would be $900,000 and the City of Shoreview’s costs would be $600,000. If project costs are 54 higher or if the grant amount is less than the maximum amount, the City of Roseville’s share could 55 go up. 56 The City would fund its portion of the costs for this project using Municipal State Aid funds. 57 Currently, we estimate there will be adequate funding in 2028 and 2029 to fund the City’s portion of 58 the project even with the updated costs. 59 RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT SUMMARY 60 The Victoria Street Pathway would enhance walkability and bikeability within the area as there are 61 minimal separated pathways in this area of the city. This north-south pathway segment would help 62 connect neighborhoods along Victoria Street. If constructed, the pathway would provide better 63 connections to three schools: Emmet D. Williams Elementary (County Road D), St. Odilia School 64 (Victoria Street) and Island Lake Elementary School (Victoria Street). The pathway would also 65 provide better access to transit stops (route 227) that run along Victoria Street. This project should 66 be an overall benefit to nearby historically disadvantaged communities that may use this pathway for 67 transportation and access to transit. According to census data for this corridor, there are 20% people 68
