COMMITTEE BUSINESS <br />Case #1: Consider Paving Bituminous Trail Along Alpine Drive <br />City Engineer Himmer presented additional trail segments which coincide with the mill and <br />overlay projects scheduled for this fall which might be considered to increase connectivity of the <br />City trail system. <br />Chairperson Elvig wanted to add into this discussion about getting golf carts on these trails. <br />Public Works Director Olson stated, what staff is asking is the timing right, the idea was to bring <br />this forward now because we are already doing an overlay from Puma Street to Highway 10 and <br />maybe the opportunity is there to piggy back on that project and see if there is a potential cost <br />savings involved. <br />Chairperson Elvig stated that it should be staff's opinion if the timing right. <br />Councilmember McGlone commented we would be getting savings for the contractor using the <br />millings from the road as base for the trail and Public Works Director Olson said that could put <br />in the specifications. <br />Councilmember McGlone would like staff to look into following the road contour instead of <br />going north up to Lake Itasca. City Engineer Himmer said staff will investigate the wetland <br />implications and if it's feasible and if there would be any easement requirements. <br />Motion by Chairperson Elvig seconded by Councilmember McGlone to propose Segment B from <br />Armstrong Boulevard to the golf course parking lot ,and investigate the ability for a straighter <br />alignment trail near Lake Itasca. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Elvig and Councilmembers Dehen and McGlone. <br />Voting No: None. <br />Case #2: Consider Pedestrian Crosswalk Modifications on Ramsey Boulevard <br />North of 149 Avenue <br />Staff is proposing to go to the County to look request relocating the existing crosswalk on <br />Ramsey Boulevard south approximately 400' to the intersection of 149 Avenue and is asking <br />for authorization to advance this with Anoka County. <br />Motion by Councilmember Dehen, seconded by Councilmember McGlone to authorize staff to <br />draft a letter to Anoka County requesting the relocation of the crosswalk on Ramsey Boulevard <br />to the intersection of 149 Avenue. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Elvig and Councilmembers Dehen and McGlone. <br />Voting No: None. <br />Public Works Committee / July 20, 2010 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
