Attachment 5 Answer: At this time, there is not a crosswalk planned at Roselawn and the pathway. However, Roselawn is a city street and the jurisdiction for such a crosswalk would lie jointly with the City of Roseville and the City of Falcon Heights. If a pathway is constructed, engineering staff will review the need for crosswalk improvements. Recommendation Given the complexity of this issue, staff recommend that as part of their joint meeting on September 15, 2025, the Commission considers checking in with the Council and: 1.Provide an update on your progress to date, 2.Provide any recommendations that you are currently comfortable with, 3.Provide proposed next steps and receive feedback, 4.Seek any clarification that is needed from the Council. To aid in the conversation, staff have broken the request into two possible levels of recommendation and some additional considerations. For each, the Commission should consider whether they are ready to make a recommendation currently, and if not, what additional information is needed to make a recommendation. POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION ONE Consider whether the pathway provides value to the parks and recreation system in that it provides residents access to parks and other recreation spaces or serves as a valuable recreational amenity in and of itself. STEP 1: Answer Yes - move to RECOMMENDATION TWO If no, recommendations could be: STEP 1: Answer No, Option 1: The ROW in question does not include recreational benefit and the commission recommends that the Council consider vacation. STEP 1: Answer No, Option 2: ROW does not include recreational benefit, but could in the future – the Commission recommends that the Council retain the ROW but not significantly change it at this time. POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION TWO If there is a parks and recreation value, the Commission may consider making a recommendation on what the Council should consider for next steps. STEP 2, Option 1: Recommend that the City Council direct staff to engage with a third party to conduct a detailed study that includes pathway alignment options and specific tree impacts before a final decision is made. STEP 2, Option 2: Recommend staff begin the implementation of a non-traditional trail process, including neighborhood engagement, hiring a design consultant, and pre- design. STEP 2, Option 3: Recommend that the City Council install a more traditional “hardscape” path. Qbhf!45!pg!29:
