DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS

COMPLETE STREETS POLICY
Assistant City Engineer Steve Jankowski provided an overview of the Complete Streets Policy
and answered questions of the City Council on the proposed policy. He advised that there will
be a pedestrian bike study coming forward which will be more specific, while the Complete
Streets Policy is more of the overall vision to consider with projects as they come forward. He
stated the Policy was previously presented to the Planning Commission and will be presented to
the Park and Recreation Commission next week. Staff is proposing to present the Policy for
consideration on adoption at the next City Council meeting. Mr. Jankowski answered questions
of the Council on the proposed policy and requested discussion on whether the Council supports
the Complete Streets Policy.
There was discussion on the potential for the policy to piggyback on "Safe Routes to Schools",
construction/reconstruction design options, lower cost design options, and the flexibility of the
policy.
The majority consensus of the City Council was supportive of including the Complete Streets
Policy on a City Council meeting agenda for formal adoption.
HIGHWAY 100 BRIDGE AT BROOKLYN BOULEVARD RE-DECKING PROJECT
Public Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug provided a presentation on the MnDOT

06/10/13 -2-
Mr. Lillehaug advised that staff recommends Option 2. He provided information on the
Construction Cooperative Agreement expected if the City authorizes participation under Option
2 or 3. He advised that funding is identified in TIF District 2 for Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor
improvements and there is an adequate balance to fund Option 2 ($227,000). While this might
eventually be the only local source of funding, staff will be approaching the County to discuss
funding partnering opportunities available and their possible contribution to the required local
share amount.
Mr. Lillehaug requested discussion from the Council on whether there is support for Option 2 for
the bridge improvements, and whether the Council supports funding the local participation
portion of the improvements for Option 2 through available TIF District 2 funding.
There was discussion on the fencing material included in the proposed improvements with
dissatisfaction expressed of the black fencing material to be included in the improvements. Staff
was directed to request that MnDOT consider replacing the black fencing with a more
aesthetically pleasing material.
Discussion on this item continued and reached conclusion during the June 10, 2013, Work
Session.
