/ Not Approved <br /> • The amendment effective date is contingent on approval of the Metropolitan Council. <br /> Commissioner Banker questioned if Chapter 8 had clear roadway definitions. City Planner Gundlach explained the <br /> definitions were included in a different section of the Comprehensive Plan and could be provided to the Commission or <br /> found on the City's website. <br /> Commissioner Banker asked if three bridges scheduled for reconstruction already had a 10-foot trail. City Planner <br /> Gundlach stated these bridges did not have a designated trail at this time. She noted three bridges were deficient at this <br /> time and needed a higher level of service for both vehicles and pedestrians. <br /> Commissioner McPherson stated bridge trails would greatly improve the safety for pedestrians crossing in these locations. <br /> City Planner Gundlach commented the bridge crossings were not guaranteed,but the City wanted to be proactive in <br /> expressing the needs of the City. <br /> Chair Howard inquired if there were any impacts on the City based on the system statements from the Metropolitan <br /> Council. City Planner Gundlach explained the actual changes that would affect New Brighton were minimal. The <br /> majority of the transportation revisions addressed managed driving lanes in the region,which includes carpool and pay <br /> lanes. <br /> Motion by Commissioner McPherson, seconded by Commissioner Shardlow to close the Public Hearing. <br /> Approved 6-0. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Danger, seconded by Commissioner Banker, to approve staff recommendation. <br /> Approved 6-0. <br /> Announcements: <br /> City Planner Gundlach provided the Commission with an update on Bell Pole.
