Public Works Committee
Meeting Date:

Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public Works

Title:

North Commons Neighborhood Trail or Street Link at Zeolite Street

Purpose/Background:

The purpose of this case is to assess the Public Works Committee's opinion on the development of a short trail segment, linking an existing neighborhood to The COR west of North Commons.  A location map is attached.

The Park And Recreation Commission did recommend that the trail concept be pursued.
 
 
 
The short trail link project, connecting the two neighborhoods near North Commons could advance for Council consideration in terms of a mailer for public notification.  The project scope is not fully developed at this time.  However, it is estimated that the cost may be less than $30,000 for the bituminous trail, ADA pedestrian ramps, and trees with a naturalized pollinator landscape.  The trail would connect neighborhoods, expand access to the playground and community gardens in North Commons, and allow more residents more access to The COR on foot or by bicycle.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Timeframe:

Less than 10 minutes are expected to be needed for staff to outline this proposal and its merits.

Observations/Alternatives:

Alternatives include doing nothing further at this time, or consider a street connection—staff is not recommending the latter.

Funding Source:

No funding is required at this time.

Recommendation:

Action:

Based upon discussion.
