preferred time to consider pathway construction as it would be difficult to construct a pathway _ project economically without consideration of the future design of the roadway. Constructing a . pathway and following in a few years with reconstruction of the road could lead to significant . waste of resources by having to redo portions of the new pathway. For these reasons staff is . recommending studying reconstruction of the roadway in parallel with consideration of a . pathway. Staff will discuss the potential road project with you at your meeting and seek further � direction on this item. POLICY OBJECTIVE - The City has an adopted Pathway Master Plan that includes a facility on Dale St. north of County � Road C. Staff seeks funding opportunities for projects that will build out this plan. In recent � years pathway projects have been funded by grants and MSA dollars when constructed as a part � of roadway reconstruction projects. � FINANCIAL IMPACTS � The city currently does not have dedicated funding to construct new pathways and sidewalks. � This pathway is eligible to be constructed with MSA funds as a part of roadway reconstruction. ' STAFF RECOMMENDATION � Due to the need to reconstruct Dale St. staff recommends the city consider construction of a � sidewalk or pathway as a part of a roadway improvement project. Given the condition � assessment of the existing pavement and the availability of MSA funds in 2011 we would � recommend the Council authorize staff begin work later this year in preparation for a feasibility � study to be completed in 2010 for a potential reconstruction project in the summer of 2011. REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION Discuss the request for a sidewalk or pathway adjacent Dale St. north of County Road C and provide staff direction on a potential future project.
