<br />of busy gravel operation driveways would pose safety concerns for path users. City engineers have <br />redesigned the path to instead run along the south side of Division Avenue, but this will add <br />approximately $1 million to the project’s cost. City staff is concerned that if this project is not moved <br />forward to construction next year, it could jeopardize the City’s ability to compete for future TE <br />funding. By completing this and City’s other TE project (Delta Ponds Pedestrian/Bike Path and Bridge) <br />by next construction season, the City will be well positioned for future rounds of TE funding. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager recommends that the City Council approve the West Bank Path Extension as the <br />project for which the City will seek STP-U funding. Moving forward with this project will position the <br />City well to compete for future TE funding; the additional project cost will ensure that a safe facility is <br />constructed. The Coburg Road and other West Bank Path project would remain good candidates for <br />upcoming STP-U funding rounds. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br /> <br />Move to direct the City Manager to apply for STP-U funding for the West Bank Path Extension project. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />A.
