Discussion of the Pleasant Run Trail Cost Estimate Steve Chutchian stated that we looked at the $170,000, currently earmarked for putting the trail in at the Webb House, to see how much trail on the east side of Pleasant Run Road could be put in for that amount of money. We looked at it from two directions; if you start at Tinker Road and go south, where would it terminate? And if we start at the north end of the Elementary School property, how far can we go? Councilman Licata gave a brief update concerning the CEDC funds possibly available for the Pleasant Run Road Trail. Jeremy Hutt gave an update on the existing cost estimates along Pleasant Run Road, with the estimates being broke down into several different sections at key break points. This was to give the Committee an idea of what sections can be done for what amount of money. There was varies discussions on what neighborhoods would best be served; what connectivy options there would be; what funding is available and the time frame of the available funds. The Committee requested additional cost estimates from the Engineering Staff to be brought to the next meeting. Mr. Licata requested that at the next meeting the maps be available to be put on the projection screen. 2. Update on the Safe Route to School Grant Matt McCombs announced that the City did not receive the Safe Route to School Grant, and that he plans to review the grant applications of the surrounding Cities that did receive a grant. Those surrounding Cities were Hurst, Southlake, Grapevine, and Trophy Club. He will identify what we might do differently and include those elements in next years grant application. Colleyville Trails and Sidewalks Committee Worksession Minutes -October 30, 2007 3. Discussion of the Sidewalk Priority Ranking Worksheets Each Committee members gave an update on how the worksheet worked for them and the ranking they came up with for their area, while using the worksheet. There appeared to be problems with the worksheet, as to how each member defined the questions on the worksheet. There were different interpretations of how the worksheet was to be completed, and the meanings of some of the questions. The Committee determined that there are many questions on the worksheet that they would not know the answer; such as, if right-of--way exists. Discussion continued on the strengths and weaknesses of the process. It was agreed that there was more work to be done on the worksheet and the process.
