Motion as once amended carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes.
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.

The consensus of the CouncV was to eliminate alternate i
consisting of two on road tral.s.
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.
Councilmember Schneider stated he would favor the trail as long
as the City could design it using flexibility to minimize the
damage to the surrounding area.
The consensus of the Council was to keep the trail.
Councilmember Crain stated he is not convinced that the train is
necessary as there is a trail 1/2 mile away going to the same
place.'
