Case #7: Report from Public Works Committee The Public Works Committee met on December 16, 2003, to discuss the following cases: 1) Update on Park N Ride Facility The Public Works Committee was informed that staff had been working on locating the new park and ride facility on its permanent location within the Ramsey Town Center site. Staff presented a few site plans for alternatives for the future park and ride. It was noted that staff was not looking for a recommendation that night, but wanted the Committee to be aware of what staff is looking at because it will be included in the project memorandum. The Tinklenberg Group is working to try to receive additional funding for the project so that they are able to construct the parking structure rather than only a parking lot initially. Staff has also met with Jim Lasher, a designer of parking structures, and he explained that to design the first level you have to design the entire ramp. Staff is expecting to get a response back from Jim Lasher on a proposed design for the structure as well as the m~ount of parking capacity. 2) Consider Trail Completion of the T.H. #47 Trail The Public Works Committee recommended that the City Council authorize staff to obtain an appraisal for the trail easement needed to complete the T.H. #47 trail connection. 3) Meeting with Congressman Oberstar The Public Works Committee recommended that the City Council direct staff to review the trail connection in the City's CIP and talk to Mr. Oberstar about the possible grant opportunities and then forward that infon-nation to the Park Con~nission.
