<br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />Topic Report: Waco Street sidewalk <br /> <br /> <br />By: Brian E. Olson, Director of Public Works <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the September 2005 Public Works Committee discussion of providing safe <br />accommodations for non vehicular traffic along Waco Street in the Rivers Bend subdivision <br />resulted in a recommendation that staff pursue the development of a sidewalk along Waco <br />Street from Sunwood Drive to Rivers Bend Park and a trail connection between Highway 47 <br />and Waco Street. <br /> <br />Attached to this case is a sketch illustrating a proposed alignment of a trail/sidewalk system. A <br />concrete sidewalk would be placed along the west side of Waco Street between Sunwood <br />Drive and its intersection at l42nd Lane and then continuing along the east side of Waco Street <br />from that point to the park entrance. A boardwalk/trail linkage would be made between the <br />existing TH N47 trail and Waco street through the wetland (Outlot B) and the city owned <br />property (5200 on the city map). <br /> <br />On Tuesday, July 18, 2006 the Public Works Committee discussed the construction of a sidewalk <br />on Waco Street from Sun wood Drive to River's Bend Park. The estimated cost for this <br />improvement is attached to the case and the Committee recommended that the item be brought to a <br />work session to discuss the potential financing methods. Staff will be available to discuss the <br />potential financial solutions. <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion <br /> <br />CCWS: <br /> <br />07/25/06 <br />
