1��i �� Project Memo 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, Minnesota 55113 (651)490-2200 f'ax: (651)490-2275 DATE: TO: FRO1�T: SUBJECT: April 5, 2001 City Council and City Manager Debra Bloom, Assistant Public Works Director CITY PROJECT M-0 1- 13 — County Road C Pathway This project memo contains information describing the proposed construction of a pathway on the north side of County Road C between Westem Avenue and Woodbridge Street, with a crosswalk at Matilda Avenue (see attached location map). This proposed pathway originated as a request from a resident of Neighborhoods 2 1 and 23 and was brought to the Council for discussion at two worksessions. Existing Conditions County Road C is a County State-Aid Highway with an e�sting pathway along its south side from Long Lake Road, in western Roseville, to the eastern city limits at Rice Street.

Thus, a safety concem is present for those wanting to access the e�sting pathway and Acom Park, to the south of County Road C. All along this segment of pathway there are residential homes. We invited the property owners directly adjacent to the proposed pathway to an information meeting in February. At that meeting, we discussed the impacts that a pathway would ha�e in front of their homes and we received feedback from the neighbors regarding the proposal. Proposed Pathway Staff considered the existing conditions for this corridor in our analysis of this proposed project. W e looked at the following challenges for this proposal and how they influence the alternatives: • Mature trees within the corridor, as well • Yards slope down to the street, retaining • Installation of the proposed pathway will appurtenanoes and utilities (i.e. telephone • E�sting crosswalk at Galtier Street has replaced by one at Matilda Street. as flowerbeds and shrubbery. walls would be necessary for construction. require the relocation of various roadway boxes, power poles, eto.) some enforcement issues.
