Case #3 Update on the Feasibility of Installing Sidewalk Improvements on Waco Street Background: At the September 2005 Public Works Committee meeting discussion of providing safe accommodations for non vehicular traffic along Waco Street in the Rivers Bend subdivision resulted in a recommendation that staff pursue the development of a sidewalk along Waco Street from Sunwood Drive to Rivers Bend Park and a trail connection between Highway 47 and Waco Street. A concrete sidewalk would be placed along the west side of Waco Street between Sunwood Drive and its intersection at 142 Lane and then continuing along the east side of Waco Street from that point to the park entrance. A boardwalk/trail linkage would be made between the existing TH 47 trail and Waco Street through the wetland (Outlot B) and the City owned property (5200 on the city map). Staff is requesting direction as to implementation and funding for the improvements. Options would be to fund the costs through the Park and Trail Fund or to assess a portion of the costs. Motion to forward the discussion of the feasibility of installing sidewalk improvements on Waco Street to a work session for discussion by the full Council. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Reviewed by: Public Works Director/Principal City Engineer City Engineer CC: 08/08/06 -371-
