Listed in the Council's packet are nine locations staff feels are important. There was <br />significant discussion by the Committee about the need for overpasses and underpasses, rather <br />than at-grade crossings. Consensus of the committee was to direct staff to draft a comprehensive <br />map of possible locations for trail crossings and pedestrian underpasses to be presented to the <br />Park Board for review prior to further discussion by the Public Works Committee. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated it is important to have a plan in place with the development and <br />building going on in the City. <br /> <br />Committee Input <br /> <br />167tb MSA Alie:nment <br /> <br />Public Works Director Olson explained Mr. Peterson of Oakwood Land Development was <br />present at the Public Works Committee meeting and there was a discussion of the alignment of <br />l67th Avenue west of CR 5. There were five properties that need to be acquired for the <br />alignment; Mr. Peterson has worked out a deal with three of them. There are two remaining <br />property owners that are not in agreement with the acquisition that Mr. Peterson went forward <br />with. The consensus of the Committee was to move forward with the 167th Alignment and to <br />propose it as a plan. Mr. Peterson wanted direction due to some lots being created as part of the <br />re-subdivision of some of the land he was buying. Mr. Peterson had indicated he is willing to <br />give the City the land necessary for the right-of-way, except for those properties that he is not in <br />.ownership of. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig reported the consensus of the Committee was to move forward and <br />continue to pursue the alignment. <br /> <br />Whistle Free Zones <br /> <br />City Council I November 14,2006 <br />, Page 23 of 31 <br />
