City Council Meeting Minutes March 5, 2019 Page 10 of 13 Mayor Muckle asked if we have enough right of way to build both sidewalk and crusher fines. Director Kowar stated probably not. Councilmember Loo stated concrete is so hard on the body and it is nice to have a softer surface to walk on and those are harder and harder to find As the community ages it is nice to have softer surfaces to walk on Open Space Manager Brignull stated this is a regional trail and we have worked with our regional partners to maintain a crusher fine surface where we can We have found the crusher fines help people navigate, people lose their way when the surface is not consistent. Crusher fines reduce sign clutter and helps maintain the town's rural character She added keeping the crusher fines was an effort to keep the rural character but there is also awareness of not creating any ADA issues Councilmember Stolzmann stated she understands the open space issues but wants to be sure people of all abilities can access around the neighborhood and transit options. Councilmember Maloney stated he uses this trail frequently He stated the area along Aspen Way is rarely an even surface and the crusher fines don't work very well here. He thinks concrete here is the best solution Mayor Muckle asked if we could build something narrower than 8 feet. Director Kowar stated we could do four feet, or four feet of concrete and four of crusher fines. Councilmember Stolzmann stated a four foot walk would match the sidewalk to the west; it just needs to be ADA compliant to make this area accessible Councilmember Keany supported a four foot sidewalk along with four foot crusher fines trail with a driveway pan at the farm entrance Mayor Muckle moved to approve the contract with a change to have a four -foot concrete trail and a 4-foot crusher fines trail Seconded by Councilmember Keany Councilmember Stolzmann offered a friendly amendment to let staff determine exact sizes based on ADA requirements Motioner and seconder accepted Vote Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION — LOUISVILLE SUB -REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROJECT SUBMITTALS Deputy City Manager Davis asked Council to review the applications for the sub -regional transportation improvement plan (TIP).
