City of Roseville -City Council Minutes for June 21, 2004 <br />and possible prorating of federal funding, depending on the final <br />plans submitted and the scope of the final project. <br />Councilmember Kough opined his support for necessary road <br />improvements; but noted he was not supportive of pathways. <br />Councilmember Ihlan opined that, a compelling reason to build <br />the eastern pathway segment was to provide a connection to <br />schools, given current safety and transportation issues. <br />Councilmember Ihlan expressed her disappointment that others <br />who had previously voiced comments related to the global <br />community picture were not made aware of tonight's discussion, <br />and that just the neighborhood had been noticed of the meeting. <br />Further discussion ensued related to future grant applications <br />and impacts of this project on future solicitations by the City for <br />those grant funds; phasing components of the reconstruction <br />project to meet federal guidelines; design standards and safety <br />issues for state bicycle guidelines; maintenance concerns; <br />impacts on residents; and the status of County Road B-2 in the <br />City's street rating index program (close to reconstruct). <br />Mayor Klausing sought to clarify previous assumptions <br />regarding pathway construction and previously expressed <br />opposition by Councilmembers Kough and Schroeder for any <br />pathway construction until maintenance levels were improved <br />for existing pathways. <br />Councilmember Schroeder confirmed his continued opposition <br />to new pathway construction until maintenance was addressed <br />for existing pathways. <br />Councilmember Maschka opined his support for a sidewalk <br />(pathway) from Lexington to Dale to provide trail connectivity <br />and to address street and drainage improvements, be able to <br />utilize federal grant funds, and phase the remainder of the <br />project while building MSA funds through the turnback process <br />and allow staff time to incorporate engineering into staff time in- <br />house. Councilmember Maschka confirmed that he didn't <br />support any pathway construction without roadway <br />reconstruction. <br />Page 17 of 26 <br />Mayor Klausing conferred with Councilmembers Kough and <br />Schroeder to confirm whether they were supportive of the road <br />reconstruction, regardless of the pathway, in an effort to - <br />determine consensus, and under what conditions either would <br />support road reconstruction. <br />Councilmember Schroeder opined support only if the road <br />reconstruction were detached frerr~pathway construction; noting •~ - <br />
