4. Communication Items Twin Lakes AUAR Update Mr. Schwartz relayed to the commission members that their comments from the previous meeting had been referred to the City Council. Sweeper Grant Update Mr. Schwartz said there has been discussion with the PCA and BSWR, and they are not funding that type of purchase this year. Staff will continue to look for other resources. Open House Participation October 13 is the City open house. Commission members were invited to participate. Member Vanderwall volunteered to be there from noon until 2:00. Chair DeBenedet volunteered to be there from 10:00 to noon. Comprehensive Plan Participation Chair DeBenedet has volunteered to represent the commission on the new Comp Plan Steering Committee. Bridge Data Deb Bloom went over the information on Roseville bridges that was given to the commission. Rice Street TAC Update Mr. Schwartz said the last meeting had been postponed so there wasn’t much new information. Har Mar Development Update Ms. Bloom updated the commission on the latest news. Har Mar was not supportive of the intersection change. 5.Pathway Master Plan Discussion Mr. Schwartz provided some background information on this topic and asked the commission for suggestions for changes and on how the city can garner support. Member Vanderwall said over the many years he’s worked for the school district, they’ve looked at pathways as a strong safety need. He said children who live less than two miles from school have to walk so it’s important to have safe pathways at least on arterial roads. Member Willenbring asked why school patrols can’t be used to help younger students across busy streets. Member Vanderwall said it would be a paid position, which could be a budget problem, and that it would only take care of the intersection—children would still be walking along unsafe roadways.
