The vote was unanimous; the minutes were approved as written. AGENDAITEMS 1. Discussion and Reevaluation of the Proposed Five-Year Sidewalk Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Steve Chutchian informed the Committee that City Council requested that staff have them reevaluate several of the sidewalk selections in their proposed five-year Sidewalk CIP. He preceded to go through the proposed projects as followed: • 2010 Glade Road (1001 and 1009 Glade Road) — There were no issues with this project. • 2010 Glade Road at Behrens Court — Council is aware of a problem with the acquisition of an easement for this project. Staff has contacted the Behrens family concerning the easement and their position has not changed. Council does not want to approve this project when it is very unlikely that the easement issues will be resolved anytime soon. However, staff will continue negotiations to resolve the issues and suggest that the Committee keep this project on the plan but push it forward to a future year pending an easement. • 2011 Tinker Road (Emerald Drive to Pleasant Run) — There were no issues with this project. • 2011 Herbert Road — Council collectively had a lot of issues with this project. Council felt that there were not a sufficient number of children in this neighborhood and the Reserve at Colleyville has not yet developed. Due to the lack of pedestrian traffic at this time, Council would like to see this project moved farther down the line for future consideration. Colleyville Trails and Sidewalks Committee Meeting Minutes — March 16, 2010 • 2012 Bluebonnet Drive — There were no issues with this project. • 2013 John McCain Road — There were no issues with this project. • 2014 Tarrant Lane — Council did not like this project even though it connected to SH26 it is a business / commercial area and there was nothing to connect to. They would like the Committee to find another project in that district. Due to Council concerns over several of the selected projects, Jeremy Hutt offered some alternatives and their cost. In addition, he passed out an updated CIP schedule which includes some rearranging of projects. The schedule is as follows: • 2010 Glade Road (1001 and 1009 Glade Road) — This project stays the same. • 2010 Tinker Road (Emerald Drive to Pleasant Run) — This project has been moved from 2011 to 2010 because we have already bid this project and we can get it done quickly. • 2011 Glade Road at Behrens Court — This project has been moved down to 2011 with the footnote added that the project is contingent on the easement acquisition. If the easement issue is not resolved the money for this project will remain in this district for an alternate project. • 2011 McDonwell School Road (Herbert Road to existing Trail) — Council requested that this site be considered as an alternate project for the existing Herbert Road project. The estimated cost for this project is $34,100, which may change a little once solid numbers are put together. The unused funds would remain in the district for future projects. * Note: the Committee was not in agreement with this choice for a project due to the fact that there are existing sidewalks on the south side of McDonwell School Road and ways to get to them; they consider this a luxury not a necessity. Committee suggested moving this project further down the list. * • 2012 Highland Meadows Drive (2508 to Pool Road) — This is an alternate project for Tarrant Lane and is not considered a redevelopment area. This project would fill in the gaps on the north side of Highland Meadows Drive to Pool Road. The cost estimate is $13,100. • 2013 Bluebonnet Drive — This project was moved from 2012 to 2013 with the adjustment of the new projects. 2014 John McCain Road — This project was moved from 2013 to 2014 to coincide with the upcoming Pleasant Run Road and John McCain Road Intersection Improvements. After much discussion on the projects and their construction order the Committee agreed that they would like more time to review the 5-Year Sidewalks CIP; however, they did wish to move forward with the finro projects for 2010. It was agreed that Odilon Alvarado, Committee Chairman would draft a letter to the City Manger stating their request. Once the letter is drafted, and the City Manager approves, staff will take the 2010 projects to Council for their approval. Judy Atwood made a motion to accept the 2010 expenditures for the Glade Road sidewalks for 1001 and 1009 Glade Road and the Tinker Road sidewalks from Emerald Drive to Pleasant Run Road. In addition, the Committee will continue to rework and evaluate the 5-Year Sidewalk CIP which will now Colleyville Trails and Sidewalks Committee Meeting Minutes — March 16, 2010 be for FY-2011 through FY-2015. Gail Manion seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. STAFF REPORTS The committee agreed to meet on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. CITIZEN COMMENTS There were no Citizen comments.
