MINUTES COUNCIL JUNE 20, tern 4 REGULAR MEETING 1977 PRESENTATION -AWARD ENERGY CONSERVATION NlARVIH H. ANDERSON GGNSTRUCTION CO. Jim 0`¢son, Consulting Engineer, gave a slide presentation showing the suggested route of the bikeway on County Road 15 from Vicksburg Lane to the bridge over 1-494. Mayor Hilde opened the public hearing at 8:20 P.M. Elisabeth Aillisms, 14510 Cnunty Road 15, stated her fence has bvien mOv J'tWree-£ mf for installation of various utilities and is not in good condition to be moved again. She asked if the City would replace the fence if it is unable to be moved again. Councilman Hunt askod why the fence had been placed back in the right -of -•way after the past moves and not within the property line. Engineer Olson stated normal restoration procedure would be to put the fence back up again ort the property line behind the bikeway. 129- HEARING BIKEWAY NO. 708 SPECIAL CUNK, iL MEETING Juni! 27. 1 S t/ Page 130 Itr,.,» iiflil law tNtated she was concerned that she would have more snow to shovel off her driveway after the bikeway is plowed in the winter. Mrinager Willis replied there would not be any more snow from plowing the hikeway than !here was from plowing the road. William Kelley. 14804 County Road 156 asked why the bikeway was planned N67the northsida of the road rather than the south side. Engineer Olson replied the existing facilities on the west And the north saes of the road made it more feasible to construct the bikeway on that side and there sewd to be fewer trees and more open areas on the north side, Rr. Kelley asked who requested this proje-t. Mayor Hilde stated the Counc1l originated the project on the basis of establishing i connecting trail system in Plymouth. 14r. Kelley asked if a survey had been conducted regarding proposed usage of the bikeway. Planner Dillerud stated a survey conducted im 1974 showed the City would have justifiable utilization of upwards of 40 niles of trails, Councilman Seibold stated the same survey showea there was an average of 3+ bikes per family in Pl+lrrauth and the foremost request received was for bike trails, Mr. Kelley asked if snownibiles would be allowed on the bikeway. Manager Willis replied no. Mr. Kelley asked if a bikeway could be provided Ly extending each side of the road as on Vicksburg Lane. Engineer Olson replied it would involve reconstruction of the roadway. Another alternative would be to add a shoulder on each side of that road for a bike path, but it would not be acceptable because of the safety factor. ;t is the Engineer's recommendation that the path be detached and away from the roadway. Mayor Hilde stated Cuunty Road 15 hai; a history of traffic problems, They have been severe enough that the City is thinking of relocating the road in the future to solve the traffic. problems, Doug Paulson, 15110 Coon;.y Roard 15. asked if the bikeway would oe co n- structeTwTthout. County participotlon in the cost and if the residents faced the possibility of assessment. He also asked who would maintain it. Mayor Hilde replied these questions would be discussed by Council and answered at the: end of the nearing. He stated the City would maintain the bikeway. Mr. Paulson stated drainage has been a problem between Ranchview and Vicksburg lane: and asked what effect the bikeway would have ofn drainage. Engineer Olson replied the drainage patterns will remain the same but the system will have to be revised throughout. Por. Paulson stated the corner of Vicksburg and County Road 15 has a terrible accident record and asked that consideration be given to moving the bikeway to the south side of the- .wad at that point. Mayor Hilde replied section records of accidents are maintained in various sectors of Plymouth and an effort is made to pateol areas with High accident rates more frequently, Manager Willis stated the Police Department is giving County Road 15 more radar suveiliance than the accident rate on the road demanded. 1 SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING June '21, IM, Page 131 Bob McKee, 1453E County Road 1S, stated he felt a bikeway beginning in aytatand ending at 1494 would encourage high traffic from non-residents which might possibly be a hazard tc pedastrian:i using the bikeway. Planner Dillcrud stated this corridor is part of the City's approved trail system anO in the future will be extended to Highway tis. TonNaNagle, 15008 Zounty Road 150 felt it would provs!" a safe place for youngchildren to ride their bikes and asked if It would affect property values in the area. Councilman aunt stated 4t was his experience that lots with access to a trail system had the highest desirability in a project. Dorothy Ciskovsky, 14316 County Roac 15, asked if her driveway curting would be replaced after construction of the bikeway. The Engineer replied the cost estimate included bituminous surfacing of driveways between the edge of i.he path and County Road 15 and any regrading or adjustment necessary to the driveway would become a project cost. Ron Ray, 15014 County Road 15, stated he is concerned for the safety of his small children and could not remain in his ps%esent home 1f the bike, path is not constructed. He felt ane traffic from the Minneapolis Industrial Park had increased the hazard on County Road 15 and asked when the road might be realigned. Mayor Hilde responded that realignment was not in the County's 5 -year plan but development in Minnetinka would dictate the timing of the realignment. Mr. Rall asked why the speed limit is hiyher on the west side of I-494. Manager Willis replied the County has established speed limits as a result of traffic studies. The hearing was closed at 9:00 P.M. The Mayor asked the Council to consider three points: 1) if the bikeway should be constructed; 2) if the City should finance the project without County participation; 3) if the projrat should be delayed until County funds arm available. It was the consensus that the City could not afford to construct this project withou-t County participation and that con3truction should be planned for early in 1978 if we could get a,-ommitment for funding from the County. Councilman Seibold felt considleration should be given to providing a bikee:ay by widening the roadway as on County Road 6. which the County bore the cost for as a shoulder -improvement project. Engineer Olson said a shoulder -widening project could be done on County Road 15 but the expense would be greater since the shoulder would have to bear the weight of traffic and a path would have to be added on both sides of the road to provide for 2 -way traffic. Also, the safety factor would he decreased. Man4ger Willis stated widening the road would increase the speed of the traffic Gn Coi!nty Road 15, Mayor Hike directed the staff to survey other communities who have bike paths to investigate alternate means of providing bikeways and to approach the County as soon as possible to attempt to include this project in the 1978 County budget. SPECIAL COUNCIL June 27, 1477 Page 132 MOTION was made to direct staff to the bikeway an an alternate onsidering the MEETING by Councilman 14wit, seconded by Councilman Spaeth, to come back to Council with a two -fold approach 1) based on the plan presented tonight and 2) bared plan of shoulder-widen':ng (5 ft, on each side) safety aspects of beth methods.
