Agenda - Public Works Committee - 07/20/2010

Home

Discussion: If the Committee recommends the addition of one or more of these trail segments to the existing mill and overlay project it would affect the schedule for completing this already approved State Aid project. The project plans for the existing overlay project have already been submitted to State Aid for review & staff has recently received comments. We have substantially completed the requested revisions and are preparing to resubmit for final approval within the next week or two. Adding trails to this project now would require additional field work, design, and re-review by State Aid; thereby adding approximately 1 month to the project schedule. Depending on the outcome of the requested permit for the railroad crossing it could extend this project into the next construction season. In addition to survey and design, Segment C would require County Highway department approval and an extended time frame for completion. It should also be noted that Segment C could be impacted by the potential future realignment of the Armstrong/Bunker Lake Boulevards intersection associated with a desired Highway 10 interchange. Recommendations: Staff recommends that the installation of Segment A be considered at a future date, as a connection to Highway 10 is a lesser priority than connecting the western neighborhoods to the COR and existing City trail system. Further, there isn't a real connection at this western end of the City to tie into. Action: Based upon discussion Reviewed By: Director of Public Works/Principal City Engineer City Engineer Park Supervisor PW: 07/20/10
