Public Works Committee 5. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 01/16/2018 <br />By: Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public <br />Works <br />Title: <br />North Commons Neighborhood Trail or Street Link at Zeolite Street <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this case is to assess the Public Works Committee's opinion on the <br />development of a short trail segment, linking an existing neighborhood to The COR <br />west of North Commons. A location map is attached. <br />The Park And Recreation Commission did recommend that the trail concept be <br />pursued. <br />The short trail link project, connecting the two neighborhoods near North Commons <br />could advance for Council consideration in terms of a mailer for public notification. <br />The project scope is not fully developed at this time. However, it is estimated that <br />the cost may be less than $30,000 for the bituminous trail, ADA pedestrian ramps, <br />and trees with a naturalized pollinator landscape. The trail would connect <br />neighborhoods, expand access to the playground and community gardens in North <br />Commons, and allow more residents more access to The COR on foot or by bicycle. <br />Timeframe: <br />Less than 10 minutes are expected to be needed for staff to outline this proposal and its merits. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Alternatives include doing nothing further at this time, or consider a street connection —staff is not recommending <br />the latter. <br />Funding Source: <br />No funding is required at this time. <br />Recommendation: <br />Action: <br />Based upon discussion. <br />proposed connection <br />Attachments <br />
