UPDATE ON TRAIL LIGHTING DISCUSSION <br /> By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer <br /> <br />CASE <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee discussed subdivision lighting at the January 2006 meeting. The <br />discussion widened to include trail lighting. The trail lighting question was referred to the Park <br />and Recreation Commission, they reviewed the matter at their March 2006 meeting. The <br />benefits of lighted trails to users were weighed against the impact on adjacent property owners. <br />Their comments are summarized below: <br /> <br />· Concentrate on finishing trail links at this time. <br />· Consider lighting transportation routes (Bunker Lake Boulevard, Sunwood, etc) in the <br /> future as routes are finished. <br />· No lighting of trails at this time, possible exception, Mid Block trail crossings. <br />· Look at solar lighting options. Mark reviewed City history with solar to this point. Solar <br /> systems tried to this point have not been durable in a public setting. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends the appropriate part of the Park and Recreation Commission comments be <br />included in the Street Lighting Policy when it is developed. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Director of Public Works/Principal Engineer <br /> <br />PW: 3/21/06 <br /> <br />-279- <br /> <br /> <br />
