Discussion and Continuation of the Sidewalk Master Plan David Klenzendorf opened the meeting with the continuation of the update of the sidewalk master plan map. Nancy Jane Langford stated that she talked with people about Chelsea Park and they did not want sidewalks and she was concerned about requiring sidewalks where the residents were not interested in having them. David Klenzendorf is concerned about justifying the Committee's decisions to the public; he wants to insure that the Committee is being consistent. They reviewed their original criteria in which sidewalks would be required and when they would not be required. Discussions continued with areas of concern and with areas in which different members had actually drove and looked at. There was quite a bit of discussion on which side of the street sidewalks would be required and when and why it would be required on both sides of the street. The Committee continued to work on filling in the gaps on the map until agreed it was complete. Jeremy Hutt stated that the only other thing that he would need from them is a letter addressed to Council stating the reasons behind developing the map, their recommendations and any variance process that they would like to see implemented.
