The program promotes changes in communities to make them more pedestrian friendly. There is a workshop on May 8 at the Harriet Alexander Nature Center. Chair Wilke asked about County Road B2 residents and how they might feel about this since they were against having a pathway on their street. Anfang said that all B2 residents were sent invitations to the workshop and that the timing was just a coincidence. Deb Bloom said there was no underlying motive for this workshop and that no pathway construction is being considered at this time. Member Neprash said an issue that should be addressed is the connection through the parking lot to doorways when a pathway meets a commercial area. Anfang said that could be brought up and discussed at the workshop. 5.NPDES Annual Storm Water Meeting Item out of order Pat Dolan, Maintenance and Fleet Supervisor, presented the 2005 storm water report.

Chair Wilke asked about the transportation issue and that it would be a foggy issue because of dealing with the county and Mn/DOT. Welsch said some of it is foggy but using a traffic model is a good way to see the impacts we have on ourselves and on others. Member Neprash asked to hear more about public participation. Welsch expanded on that. Page 2 of 4
