Manager Willis stated that the Council had deferred action following the public hearing on April 16 on the Dunkirk Lane public Improvement project pending further information concerning the proposed bike trails along the soutaerly portion of the project. Short -Elliott -Hendrickson, the project's consulting engineers, have submitted three alternate locations for the bike path for Council consideration. With respect to alternates 2 and 3, there would be a change required in the proposed center line. If the trail we-e on the west side of the street, it viould require an 11' center line realignment which would cause a problem with the joining of this section of Dunkirk Lane with the rest of the proj.act. Councilmember Crain asked if more trees would have to be taken with alternate 2 which would place the trail on the west side of the street. Dave Pillatzke, Short -Elliott -Hendrickson consulting engineer, answered tat Rcause the center line would have to be offset, additional trees would have to be taken. Councilmember Schneider as'er'. if MnDOT had any standards set for trail construction. Mr. Pillatzke answered that MnDOT has suggested the minimum width of 8' with a 4' offset from the curb. The path could be moved slightly closer to the street if necessary for short distances to avoid trees or power poles. Councilmember Schneider asked what steps MnDOT cou'id take against the City if the City deviated from their suggestions. Mr. Pillatzke answered that. he doesn't believe MnDOT could wit:ihold funding. Mayor Davenport explained the three alternates according to cost, seasunal use, geometrics, utility modification, and envl.,onmental impact. He stated he would like to see the trail Jogged when necessary to viry the buffer to go around trees and signs. Discussion continued comparing Dunkirk Lane with the sidewalk which 9buts Highway 101, Manager Willis stAted that alternates 2 acid 3 would take 54' of area for construction as compared with the 52' of alternate 1. He added that the engineers could probably meander the trail within the area alloted.

Councilmember Crain suggested that the trail question be referred to PRAC for discussion on whether the trail should be Installed at all and, if they decide it should be built, could it be delayed until next year when the City may be able to obtain state funding for it.
