Lake Itasca Trail Connection <br /> <br />Several years ago North Fork Inc. donated the 35' foot by 1400' foot corridor this trail <br />connection would use. City forces would clear and prepare the trail for class $ and bituminous <br />by a contractor. This project has been identified within the C~ as an $19,500 expense to be paid <br />by Trail Fees. The estimated cost for the 1391' feet of paving may be as much as $22,256. Staff <br />recommends that this amount be approved in the event it does cost $16 per foot to construct. <br />The construction could occur this November, but more likely early spring. <br /> <br />Annua/ize~Y Maintenance expenses: Because of the brushing and mowing activity that is <br />currently occurring now, the regular maintenance expenses may be the same or even <br />less with bituminous vs, a dirt trail. <br />'A Z-inch overlay can be expected at a 10 to 15 year interval, at approximately $1.80 a <br />lineal foot, for an amortized cost of about $208 per year. <br /> <br />Finance Committee Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend City Council authorize staff to prepare plans and specifications for <br />shelters and irrigation at Flintwood Terrace Park and approve $22,256 from Trail Fees for the <br />construction of a bituminous trail from 164th Lane to the Lake Itasca Boardwalk. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br />Director of Public Works <br />Finance Officer <br />City Engineers <br /> <br />Copies to: <br />Park and Recreation Commission <br /> <br />FC: 10/28/03 <br /> <br />-210- <br /> <br /> <br />
