Absent: Deena Dendy, Nancy Jane Langford, Earline Kennedy and Dulce Moore. Staff: Tom Niederauer, Sr. Planner. I. Call to Order: Gail Manion called the meeting to order. II. Discussion of the TxDOT "Safe Routes to School" Grant application o Tom reported that the City did not receive the grant from this new program that was sought to build the Pleasant Run Road sidewalk. ^ Regarding this issue, the Task Force discussed ways to use the data that was collected through the surveys of all of the schools. Gail requested that the schools be given a report on the feedback we received from the surveys. Judy noted that she summarized the surveys for Heritage and Glen Hope Elementary Schools, and will forward them to the staff. ^ It was discussed that the City of Southlake did a multi-issue safe routes report with similar data and used that as the basis for their grant request. o Gail also stated that during the survey process, Task Force members suggested to GCISD Superintendent Dr. Kevin Singer to appoint a point "person" in the school administration to coordinate future "Safe Route Program" grants and also to coordinate with volunteers from each of the schools. Judy agreed to follow-up with Dr. Singer, or his appointee. I11. Discussion of the FY 2002-2003 budget and potential sidewalk projects ^ Tom referred to the budget sheet prepared by Collin Booth, the City's financial analyst. That summary shows that the budget for this year was/is only $32,000, down $17,000 from the previous year's allocation of $49,000. In addition, $3,610 has already been spent on landscaping and other projects along Martin Parkway. This leaves a balance of $28,390. Final priority list for 2001 - 2002 -see chart on last page. ^ The creek crossing and sidewalk along west Glade Road was discussed at some length. Tom reported that Keith Fisher was seeking design estimates from engineering firms to design the extended culvert with walk across the top. He is seeking a design and cost estimate for this project. Tom also noted that Fisher mentioned the possibility (only) that drainage funds might be used to pay for some of the culvert costs, since it will be part of the drainage solution for that area. He agreed to investigate this possibility. ^ Having discussed Project #4 -the Purchase of the Marion Bone Estate Property, with other Task Force members, Gail and Judy agreed that it should be lowered in (swlf min #1 = 5-28-03) 2002-2003 COLLEYVILLE SIDEWALK TASK FORCE MINUTES OF MEETING -MAY 2H, 2003 priority in lieu of pursuing an east-west link on the south side of Glade Road. (III. continued) ^ Gail questioned why the walk has not been completed around the La Plaza Spa- Office property at the south side of Glade and new Glade -since the City has had the money in escrow for a number of years now. It was also mentioned that the hill at this location is still a driving hazard and should be reduced in size. ^ Judy and Gail agreed that Priorities #2 -Behrens Court, and #3 -Glade and Stafford Intersection, should remain above item #4 -Purchase of Bone property. ^ Task Force members discussed some of the obstacles to clear-width sidewalks that exist in the city. Judy mentioned that she has seen a number of instances where utility equipment or other objects have been placed in the middle of some walks, practically negating their use. Tom agreed to email to Judy the digital photos of a few of these that have been recorded to date. IV. Discussion of preliminary sidewalk /trails map. ^ The new Colleyville Sidewalk-Trails map was reviewed and improvement suggestions were made. Tom mentioned that the Task Force members might drive the community to check the accuracy, and the Task Force members suggested that this would be a good project for the local Boy Scouts. They could walk/drive the community to proof the map, look for sidewalk obstacles and record all of the handicapped ramps, and lack of ramps. Tom promised to record these comments for the next meeting to review the map again before changes are made. ^ After reporting on the progress of hiring a consultant to update the Trails Plan, the Task Force questioned what the current issues are now to require this review and change. Tom agreed to find the answers to that. V. Next Meeting and Adjournment: ^ The next meeting of the Task Force will be at 1:30 pm, on Wednesday, June 11th. ^ The meeting was adjourned at 3:00 pm.
