<br />construction is $2.25 million, $450,000 of which would come from <br />Roseville. Maintenance cost would be $4,000 per mile. Member <br />Anderson liked the idea of Rosedale being a pminer in this project. The <br />deadline for the federal funding on this project is September 30, 2004. <br />Plans and specifications and right-of-way acquisitions need to be <br />completed by that date. Construction would be in 2005. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring asked if they were anticipating any problems <br />obtaining rights-of-way. Bloom responded that based on experience with <br />other projects the acquisitions should not be a problem. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring asked about the steepness of the right-of-way on part <br />of the south side of B-2, would that make a difference in where they put <br />the pathway. Bloom said that is exactly the kind of thing they need to <br />look at in detel111ining the route of the path. Power pole location is <br />another thing that will enter into the decision-making process. <br /> <br />Member Marasteanu asked if this is the first 8' -wide trail in Roseville. <br />Schwartz responded that many current bituminous trails are already 8', <br />and any that are reconstructed are brought up to the 8' standard. <br />Roseville's sidewalk standard is 6'-wide concrete. <br /> <br />Bloom presented a list of questions to the Commission for their input. <br />First, is this project in the best interest of Roseville. Member Willenbring <br />said it was, as he has witnessed people walking on B-2 without the benefit <br />of a decent pathway. Member Anderson said that if it gets more people <br />out on their bikes, it's good for him. Second, is this project consistent <br />with city policy? Member Willenbring thought that it was. Third, does <br />the capital investment make sense for the City of Roseville. Member <br />Willenbring said that there's money that has to be spent anyway for <br />maintenance in that area so the additional money spent to rebuild the trail <br />is worth it. <br /> <br />Bloom requested that the Commission make a recommendation on this <br />issue to the Council. <br /> <br />Member Anderson moved to proceed with the federal grant opportunity. <br />Member Marasteanu seconded <br /> <br />Ayes: 3 <br />Nays: 0 <br />Motion carried <br /> <br />7. Other Items <br /> <br />Deb Bloom thanked Members Wilke and Willenbring for working with <br />her at the Roseville Home & Garden Show. <br /> <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
