Old Business <br /> a. Old Hwy 8 Bridge / Connections <br /> Chair Frischman commented that at the last meeting PREC members <br /> agreed that they would visit these sites and come prepared to make a <br /> recommendation regarding the trails in these areas. The <br /> recommendation will be included in the report that Grant Wyffels and <br /> Craig Schlichting are preparing for Council. This first discussion item is <br /> on Old Hwy 8 just south of County Road E. Commissioner Fields <br /> commented that the path is very high and bikers are very close to the <br /> bridge overhead. Commissioner Fields inquired if there is a way to <br /> make a change on that walkway without replacing all the rail road <br /> trestles and changing the grade of the road. Not sure there is any <br /> place to go to make the walkway wider. Commission Lundberg <br /> commented that is seems like the road needs to be widened. <br /> Commissioner Fields also commented that we may want to consider <br /> having a bike path from the south side of the trestle going toward the <br /> County Road E2 35W bridge that would connect on the other side of <br /> 35W. <br /> Commissioner Kunesh-Podein thought that on Hwy. 88 there was an <br /> official bike path that goes down by the quarry shopping area; just <br /> north of the cemetery or golf course. We would need to work with <br /> Roseville, because they are in between us and the quarry area. <br /> 1 <br />
