<br />4 <br /> <br />Obviously it might be nice to put a pathway all the way along and say <br />that would be ideal for the bikers and walkers. With the roadway <br />being moved three feet to the north, and with a rather limited <br />available space, it was very obvious that it couldn't fit in most <br />of this area without having extreme impact, so it was merely reviewed <br />for the possibility of whether we would want to tie on the existing <br />walk near Rice and take a pathway outside the pavement to the <br />point where it would meet this bicycle path. If that were done, <br />however, there would be again severe impact along that line with <br />the trees that exist in this area. There are an additional eight <br />trees that would have to be removed if that were done and there <br />would have to be a certain amount of sloping into some of the front <br />yards because the impacting would go back almost to the property <br />line. One of the main reasons for posing this was to get a <br />reaction from the people as to whether it would be useful. I <br />think that essentially completes it, and perhaps we can answer <br />questions beyond that. <br /> <br />MR. POPOVICH: The total estimated cost of this improvement is <br />$443,300. There are 5,389 assessable frontage feet involved and <br />if it were 100% assessed it would be $82.25 a front foot. Of <br />the 5,389 assessable feet there are 303 feet of property other <br />than non tax exempt R-l and R-2 property so that would be the only <br />footage that would be assessed at $82.25 a foot to raise <br />$24,962. The rest of the improvement would be picked up by the <br />M.S.A. funds, as explained. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: Do we have a breakdown on that bike path? <br /> <br />REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SHORT, ELLIOTT, HENDRICKSON office: <br />Those were quoted in the original cost and it's roughly about <br />$l7,000 for the bike path. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: Any written statements? <br /> <br />MR. ANDRE: There are no letters or communications. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: I will open the hearing. I again ask that you <br />come to the microphone, give your name and address or the address <br />to which you're referring. <br /> <br />MR. JOE TAUGNER, 2271 Western Avenue: What are you going <br />to do with Western, drop that (inaudible). <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: Did you say drop that north? <br /> <br />MR. TAUGNER: To the south. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: We're going to try to match what is there for <br />Western Avenue until such time as we're ready to make the improve- <br />ment on Western. <br />
