REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 1. Discussion and Overview of Updated Citywide Trail Master Plan Monica Walsh started the meeting by suggesting, to the Committee members, to go through the comments received from Chairperson Gail Manion. Keith Fisher suggested, for the next meeting, the Committee members should have written comments in regards to the updates to the Trail plan. He stated the written comments would be considered part of the open records for future updates. Monica Walsh went through Chairperson Gail Manion's comments as follows: (See attached comments) Monica Walsh suggested to the Committee members about re-prioritizing the list. Tony Licata stated having interest with the current and future sidewalk and trail projects. Dulce Moore stated having concerns with this Committee focusing more on the trails for the city other than the sidewalks. She questioned the Committee and staff members if there should be two separate committees? Monica Walsh responded that the Sidewalk Committee would have both sidewalks and trails. These two areas would be working together and this Committee would be the one to make suggestions for both. Gail Manion suggested to staff to incorporate the proposed sidewalks on the map. Barry LeBaron replied that as properties are platted, the sidewalks are required to be built. He stated the sidewalks that exist now are currently on the map. Tony Licata responded to Dulce Moore's concerns and stated the sidewalks are for pedestrians and the trails are for multi-use. Dulce Moore replied it seems that the trails are pushing the sidewalks out of consideration. Barry LeBaron responded this is simply an update for the trails, the sidewalk recommendations are still in place. Colleyville Sidewalk Committee Minutes - July 20, 2005 Nancy Jane Langford suggested having a map that would include both sidewalks and trails so that for the present and future, they would all be incorporated. Keith Fisher stated that sidewalk money has been used to build wider sidewalks, there seems to be a wash over between the two, sidewalks and trails. Deena Dendy stated in order for one to be productive both the sidewalks and trails would have be included. Chairperson Gail Manion questioned staff if there had been any land dedicated from the church around Bogart Street? Monica Walsh replied no. Committee members discussed the prioritizing of projects. Chairperson Gail Manion questioned staff if the sidewalks would be added to the map? Barry LeBaron replied a separate map for the proposed sidewalks could be drawn, however, the critical ones that are already developed are on the map. Monica Walsh stated staff tried to make the plan more user friendly. Barry LeBaron questioned the Committee if Sidewalks should be added to the title? Deena Dendy suggested the sidewalks on Glade Road need to be fixed. Chairperson Gail Manion suggested to staff to use the word completed instead of deleting the sidewalk/trail from the plan. Tony Licata stated having issues with trails being designated as trails. He suggested to the Committee, in order for the council to fund projects, you will need to present those requests as a need for pedestrian public safety. Chairperson Gail Manion suggested to staff to include in the plan the trail connection to Grapevine. STAFF REPORTS Next meeting scheduled for August 1, 2005 at 12:30 P.M.
