Schedule: In order to meet the Federal approval deadlines, we have put together the following <br />schedule. We estimate that it will take staff(and consultants) at least 3 months to put together <br />plans and specifications for the proposedproject. <br />May 24 <br />June 14 <br />July 15 <br />Proj ect memorandum complete <br />Finalize right- of- way needs, Authorize appraisals <br />Easement appraisals complete <br />July-August Negotiate easements <br />August 15 Final plans to state for preliminary review <br />Sept 27 <br />Sept 30 <br />City Council consider easement condemnation <br />(if necessary) <br />Deadline for Plans & specifications Final Approval <br />Right- of- way acquisition complete (or 90 days fi�rn acquisition) <br />RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: <br />We are looking for Council direction on the proposed County Road B-2 Trail project. Due to a <br />tight time schedule, staff does need a decision regarding this project, to ensure that we can meet <br />the project deadlines. <br />If the Council is interested in ordering this proj ect, a preferred alternate should be a part of the <br />recommendation. The alternates are: <br />Alternate 1: Bituminous Trail, Rice to Walnut - this is the proposal we submitted for <br />Federal Funding. The design is an 8 foot wide bituminous trail located within the County <br />Road B-2 right- of- way. <br />Alternate 2: Bituminous Trail, Lexington to Walnut- This proposal would eliminate any <br />trail or sidewalk between Rice Street and Lexington Avenue. <br />Alternate 3: Concretel Bituminous Trail, Rice to Walnut - The alternate includes a 6 foot <br />wide concrete sidewalk on both sides of the road for the residential segment of County <br />Road B-2. <br />Also, if the Council is interested in pursuing the burying of the overhead utilities, staff should be <br />directed to prepare a scoping study that would provide actual costs for this corridor. <br />Prepared By: Duane SchwartzlDeb Bloom <br />� �� <br />
