Mr. Freihammer confirmed that the segment represented a gap and <br />recommended modifying the description to reflect the portion from Larpenteur <br />Avenue to Roselawn Avenue. <br />Mr. Freihammer then introduced segment 12B on Lexington Avenue, described <br />as an off -road pathway on the east side between County Road B and County <br />Road C. He noted that a portion of this segment would be completed as part of <br />the 2026 project beginning in May, leaving only the section from County Road <br />B2 to County Road C as the remaining gap. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained that this segment runs from the high school area to <br />the north end of Central Park. He noted that while there are some informal <br />connections into the park from nearby streets, this segment would provide a <br />more direct connection along Lexington Avenue. He added that the area <br />includes residential properties and landscaping within the city -maintained right- <br />of-way. <br />Member Fergus asked whether there is a sidewalk on the west side of Lexington <br />Avenue. <br />Mr. Freihammer confirmed that there is a pathway on the west side of <br />Lexington Avenue and crosswalks in the area. He explained that on the east <br />side, the connection near Central Park is incomplete, noting that users traveling <br />from the south are left without a clear continuation at County Road B2. <br />Mr. Freihammer indicated that while there is some access to Central Park via <br />Brooks Avenue, completing the full segment from County Road B2 to County <br />Road C would provide a continuous north -south connection. He noted that a <br />portion of the segment would be constructed as part of an upcoming project, <br />leaving approximately a half -mile gap. <br />Mr. Freihammer recommended modifying the segment description to reflect <br />completion of the remaining portion, and the Commission expressed support <br />for finishing the connection. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained that the segments were being reviewed in the order <br />of the current priority list, noting that higher traffic corridors appeared first and <br />that later segments may require more discussion. <br />Mr. Freihammer then introduced segment 4B on County Road C, described as <br />the construction of an on -road pathway from Victoria Street to Dale Street. He <br />explained that this improvement, in the form of abike lane, is already scheduled <br />as part of a 2026 county project associated with roadway reconfiguration. <br />Mr. Freihammer recommended removing the segment from the plan, noting that <br />it is expected to be completed by the time the review process is finalized. <br />Page 9 of 28 <br />
