The area is currently crusher fines which does not give proper ADA accessibility Public Works staff has recommended doing an eight -foot sidewalk in that area, however the Open Space board would prefer to maintain the existing crusher fines trail Public Comments — None Councilmember Stolzmann stated she has seen a person in a wheelchair using the middle of the street because there is no paved option on either side Our guidelines say we want a paved option on at least one side of the street. She supported adding a sidewalk, and suggested that we redouble our efforts to have Coal Creek Trail realigned to stay along the creek. Mayor Muckle asked why there is no sidewalk on the west side.
