Public Improvement Hearing to Consider Project 10-15, 7th St-cet Sidewalk Between 23rd Avenue NW and Inca lane. Report No. 10-178. Resolution No. 10-047. Craig Schlichting, Civil Engineer lI gave a brief history on the project. A neighborhood meeting was held on Thursday, July 1, 2010, most residents present at the meeting were not in favor of a sidewalk project. However, most were in favor of the installation' of a new crosswalk at Inca Lane. Residents expressed concern with the current crosswalk located at 23d Ave NW and 7" Street NW, as it causes congestion with busses and vehicle traffic. At the July 13, 2010, council meeting the City Council accepted the Feasibility Study for Project 10-15 and set the Public Improvement Hearing for July 27, 2010. Photos were displayed indicated present conditions as well as proposed improvements. City staff conducted an analysis, on three different school days counting the number of students crossing 7`h street. Construction options were explained between the sidewalk construction, or the installation of a crosswalk at hica Lane on 7'' St NW. The crosswalk option is substantially less expensive; with an estimated cost of $4,830.00, as compared to the sidewalk estimate of $22,295.00, MSA funds would be used for the project. Staffrecommendation is to approve the crosswalk option. Councilmember Phillips questioned ifit would be beneficial to relocate the crosswalk located at 23'd Ave? Mr. Schlichhng suggested the tendency may be to continue to cross at 23", as then: is a school entrance there. Councilmember Burg questioned why a crosswalk was recommended over a sidewalk? Schlichtingreplied acrosswalk seems to be good solution for a couple ofreasons, including the 20 mph school zone, along with the fact that pedestrians are crossing a two lane mad. Councilmember Barman likes the crosswalk option, and noted it may encourage kids to cross at hica lane instead ofcrossing at random points. Councilmember Samuelson suggested proceeding with the crosswalk, with the option to review at a future date to ensure safety. Councilmember Burg suggested reviewing the pedestrian traffic in the winter. Director Wyffels suggested the School Resource Officer at Highview Middle School work with the students to educate them on the crosswalk procedures. 10 Paget of Consent Agenda 1.
