Chairperson Riley pointed out the crosswalk is marked but a crosswalk on a road with a speed <br /> limit of 55 can be easily overlooked by drivers. <br /> Councilmember Johns agreed the area may develop in time, and the City may want to develop a <br /> way for people to cross safely. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked the Committee members to draw up lists of items they would like to <br /> discuss, or be updated on. He asked that staff could keep this list and let the Committee know <br /> any updates or changes so the members can anticipate what will happen with the items at future <br /> meetings. <br /> Councilmember Johns said she would like to discuss the CIP and learn what is pertinent to this <br /> group. <br /> City Engineer Westby responded that can be reviewed at the March meeting before it is <br /> presented to the Council. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented he would like to be updated on the item brought to the Committee <br /> a few months ago regarding stormwater drainage and flooding issues. <br /> Councilmember Shryock asked to keep updated on the planning for trail maintenance. <br /> Councilmember Johns noted the trail maintenance policy had been discussed. <br /> Chairperson Riley stated the strategic connections for trails need to be discussed. <br /> City Engineer Westby confirmed these items will be brought back to the Committee for <br /> updating. He said a Stormwater Pond Maintenance Policy will also be coming to this body for <br /> discussion. He stated the Engineering interns gathered GPS points last summer on all City trails <br /> to allow staff to prepare horizontal and vertical alignments for each trail. The grades and types <br /> of pedestrian ramps on each trail were also cataloged to allow a comprehensive City trail <br /> database to be developed. The Trail Maintenance Policy will be developed from this database. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated a resident raised the issue of a segment of trail at Alpine Drive <br /> that is difficult to maneuver. She suggested this issue stay on the list of items to watch and <br /> conduct updates on. <br /> Chairperson Riley suggested the planning for the crosswalk on TH 47 to Nowthen Boulevard be <br /> added to the list. <br /> City Engineer Westby responded this will be worked on in the spring. Staff will get plans from <br /> Mn/DOT, and bring the item to the Council for approval. <br /> Chairperson Riley stated he would like to be updated on the summer construction schedule, <br /> including seal-coating, and other city-related construction. <br /> City Engineer Westby replied this can be on the agenda for the next meeting. <br /> Public Works Committee/ February 16, 2016 <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br />
