Mr. Schwartz noted the need to look at collector streets; and other policy models. <br />Member Gjerdingen referenced the DePlaines, IL model addressing other <br />agencies or interested parties contributing to a policy. <br />Vice Chair Vanderwall spoke in support of the once per year deadline, allowing <br />for more efficiencies and meshing projects together. <br />Member Felice noted the need for other items outside normal funding realms (e.g. <br />pedestrian bridge over Snelling Avenue) and questioned whether a "wish list" or <br />portfolio of dream wises could be put together for future consideration as <br />potential funding was available or as related projects developed. <br />Mr. Schwartz advised that the City Council had discussed such a wish list, and <br />thought it would be appropriate, while outside the realm of a neighborhood traffic <br />policy, but similar to the Pathway Master Plan. Mr. Schwartz noted that this <br />would allow consideration of those things as funding oppo 'ties arose and how <br />they would fit in various areas as they redeveloped. <br />Vice Chair Vanderwall referenced techniques used by Kiev, Ukraine as an <br />example for tunnels, even with winter weather considerations, rather than <br />pedestrian bridges and the markets and other community events in those tunnels. <br />Vice Chair Vanderwall noted the significant infrastructure cost to build them, but <br />reminded Commissioners that looking up may not be the only way to go. Vice <br />Chair Vanderwall advocated for his previously stated desire for a way for <br />residents on the south side of Highway 36 to access Rosedale; and highlighted the <br />resent results at Sienna Green Apartments in handling their storm water <br />management their ride in the pro'ect and encouraged Commissioners to <br />review it. <br />Page 9 of 11 <br />
