ABSENT: Judy Atwood and Rick Staples. STAFF: Tom Niederauer, Sr. Planner, Keith Fisher, Staff Engineer, Troy Gray, Engineering R-O-W Technician and Monica Walsh, Park Director I. Review of minutes of previous meeting: • Being the first Task Force meeting of this fiscal year, there were no minutes to review. II. Miscellaneous Staff Reports: • The staff reported on several projects that were /are carried over from last year: The Task Force asked if Pleasant Run Road had been surveyed all the way to the Village project just north of Colleyville Boulevard? Fisher said that the last survey went from the soccer fields on the north to Bogart on the south. Gray said he will go back to Mr. Behrens regarding purchase of right-of-way along Glade Road to see if there has been a change of heart. He also stated that he hasn't given up pursuing a route through the Pecan Park Estates neighborhood to connect Colleyville Elementary and Middle schools with Ponderosa. He also mentioned the right-of-way issue with the property owner on the southeast corner of Glade and Bluebonnet. Manion asked about Bluebonnet Drive and the potential for projects along that street. Fisher said that the City will not build walks along the north side of the new street from Hall-Johnson to the Justice Center because commercial development will eventually provide the walks here. Niederauer agreed to do a map of the central part of Colleyville because of all of the projects in the area. The map would be prepared for the next meeting. • Upon questions from the Task Force about the Spring Garden project on Cheek- Sparger, Niederauer said that he would find out the status of plans in that area • Fisher stated that the Hall-Johnson street construction is proceeding and that they have designed 4' and 5' wide walks at a minimum of 2' from the curb. III. Glade walks from Bluebonnet to Bedford Road: Manion mentioned that she had talked to Mr. Hickson at the southwest corner of Glade and Bluebonnet and that they are willing to permit a sidewalk across the front of their property. Staff noted that a walk would be required when these properties are built or rebuilt. Sidewalk Task Force pg. 2 of 2 Minu#es 1-26-01 IV. Cottonbelt Trail: Walsh stated that the City has submitted the Cottonbelt Trail plans for review by the State (TxDOT). This will be a "T-21" Grant to build the link from John McCain Road south and west to Bettinger Road at L. D. Lockett Road. The "T- 21" is the (Federal) "Transportation Enhancement Act for the 21St Century". Fisher mentioned that the trail will be kept on the north side (of the R.R. Tracks) since the owner of the Tracks -Dallas Area Rapid Transit -will not permit gates for pedestrian crossings. Walsh noted that the City will start early in 2001 and probably be complete by the end of the year. At present there is no money to bridge Big Bear Creek at the north end of the Trail. Fisher stated that Engineering will do a bridge extension. • The next priority for a grant is to construct a trail from the Nature Center on the west along Little Bear Creek to Sparger Park on the east. • Walks for the Webb House property are also being considered. V. Task Force Discussion: Manion requested copies of the Cottonbelt Plan. Fisher emphasized the need to meet early, make decisions and get the needed engineering completed early in the (fiscal) year. This will permit time for bidding, construction and any follow-up needed before the end of the (fiscal) year. VIII. Adjournment: The next meeting was scheduled for December 15th at 9:00 am. The meeting was adjourned. Submitted by: Tom Niederauer, Sidewalk Task Force staff.
