Edwards Agenda Public Works Director/ <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Section: City Engineer's Report <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to update the Commission on City Council direction for <br />the future disposition of East Long lake Road and to establish a working group to develop and vet options <br />for the project. <br />2. Background. At the May 29" meeting, the City Council directed staff and the Parks Commission to <br />develop a plan for the conversion of northern section East Long Lake Road to a trail. Staff sought <br />direction from Council on the long term disposition of East Long Lake Road; particularly the northern <br />section due to its extremely poor condition. The southern portion which provides access to homes is <br />included in the 2019 road maintenance plan. The northern section of the road runs along the eastern <br />shore of Long Lake. Portions of the roadway are becoming undermined and the pavement is crumbling. <br />The pavement is beyond pothole repair. The portion of the roadway just south of the Spring Hill <br />intersection is low lying and prone to seasonal flooding requiring periodic closures of the roadway. <br />3. Scope of Work. The council provided direction to pursue project that would convert road to a bike <br />trail. This will include the removal of the existing asphalt, stabilizing the lakeshore where required, <br />construction of an 8-1 Oft wide multipurpose trail. Also a turnaround feature would be needed at the <br />northern end of the southern section. <br />4. Timeline: Develop plan with a goal of seeking grants in 2018/2019 and converting the road to a trail <br />in 2019/2020. <br />5. Consulting Support. Staff has solicited a proposal from Bolton and Menk to assist in the <br />development of concept/ mater plans for the project. The proposal will go to the City Council for <br />Approval on July 91h. <br />COMMISION ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Appoint a Park Commission Sub Committee to assist in the design and development of a plan of the East <br />Long Lake trail . <br />Exhibits <br />A.
