Attachments: None Agenda Information Memo May 9, 2017 Special City Council Workshop IV. Winter Trail Maintenance Direction For Consideration: Review and comment on potential additions/revisions to the Winter Trail Maintenance program and direct any modifications to the June 6, 2017, regular Council meeting for formal action. Facts:  In 1998, the City Council adopted a Winter Trail Maintenance Plan that allows the Council to annually review and reconsider the extent of the trail system that is designated for maintenance during the winter months. This review has been directed to be performed at the first available workshop after April 1 each year.  The winter trail maintenance program began by incorporating 56 miles of a 110 mile trail system to be completed utilizing contractual services.  As the City's trail system has continued to grow along with the public's acceptance of the program, the program has been reviewed almost annually to respond to new trail construction and petitioned requests for added segments to be maintained.  Subsequent City Councils have added approximately 22.0 miles of trails (average of 1.2 miles/year) to the original system plan in response to citizen and business requests, as well as considering the merits of each new segment of trail constructed during the previous year along collector/arterial roads.  The current program consists of 78.0 maintained miles out of a total 124.8 mile system (62.5%) and is maintained completely with City staff and equipment.  There are 3 Citizen Petitions (CP) and 1 New Trail (NT) segments that should be reviewed by the Council. Each request references the related justification and degree of compliance with the Council’s current Winter Trail Maintenance Policy.

All requests/petitions must be submitted in writing by April 1st. They will then be presented to the Council at the next available Council Workshop with formal action taken at a subsequent regular Council meeting for possible inclusion into the following season’s program. Three (3) Citizen Petition’s (CP) that have been received since April 2016 and one (1) New Trail segment (NT) which will be constructed in 2017 are being presented for the Council’s consideration. CITIZEN PETITIONS (CP) 1. Citizen Petition/New Trail (CP #1) A Petition containing 83 signatures representing 57 Eagan Properties was submitted on March 20, 2017, for one new trail segment. The petition is requesting that the additional trail segment be considered for maintenance for the 2017-2018 season. Petitioners are requesting that a trail segment be plowed on the West side of Dakota Path from Cliff Road to Prairie Dunes Way (see map). Rationale: Petitioners are requesting winter trail maintenance be added to improve safety and opportunities for Winter activities. Additional segment quantities 1,730 feet (0.33 miles) (see map) Additional estimated annual cost $ 270 ($819/mile, 5-year average cost) Meets “Petition” Criteria set forth in City Council’s Winter Maintenance of Sidewalks and Trails Policy: “Due to the cost and/or time to add additional segments to the overall maintenance program, it is necessary that a need and benefit be demonstrated to justify additions to the Winter Trail Maintenance system. Subsequently, no public request will be considered unless accompanied by a petition of at least 50 property owners or employees of businesses located within ½ mile of the segment to be considered.” Does not meet any other City Council Winter Trail Maintenance Policy Criteria: The Council’s discretion will be used to designate other segments as necessary to provide continuity, designated recreational loops, etc. Additional Related Factors: • If added, provides connectivity to the existing trail at Cliff Road which is currently maintained. • If added, these segment(s) would be included as a Priority Level 4 route. 2. Citizen Petition (CP #2) A Petition containing 68 signatures representing 58 Eagan Properties was submitted on March 20, 2017. The petition is requesting that some additional trail segments be added for the 2017-2018 season. Petitioners are requesting that the boulevard trail on the West side of Wescott Woodlands and the North side of Duckwood Drive from Station Trail to Springwood Path, as well as some neighborhood (non-boulevard) trails within the Stonehaven Development be maintained during winter months. (see map) Rationale: These paths throughout Stonehaven are used by Stonehaven plus the surrounding 5 neighborhoods. These trails lead residents to Woodland Elementary, to school bus stops, and to City bus stops. Additional segment quantities for Boulevard Trails 2,686 feet (.51miles) (see map) Additional estimated annual cost $ 417 ($819/mile, 5-year average cost) Additional segment quantities for Neighborhood Trails 9,327 feet (1.77miles) (see map) Additional estimated annual cost $ 1,449 ($819/mile, 5-year average cost) Segment Along Duckwood Drive Meets City Council’s Winter Maintenance of Sidewalks and Trails Policy Criteria Number 3: Trails along Neighborhood Collector Streets. These are local streets approximately 1 mile in length with 2 traffic lanes (with safety lanes/shoulders), traffic volumes less than 3,000 vehicles per day and speed limits of 35 mph or greater. Meets “Petition” Criteria set forth in City Council’s Winter Maintenance of Sidewalks and Trails Policy: “Due to the cost and/or time to add additional segments to the overall maintenance program, it is necessary that a need and benefit be demonstrated to justify additions to the Winter Trail Maintenance system. Subsequently, no public request will be considered unless accompanied by a petition of at least 50 property owners or employees of businesses located within ½ mile of the segment to be considered.” Additional Related Factors: • If added, provides connectivity to the existing trail at Yankee Doodle Road which is currently maintained and several adjacent neighborhoods. • If added, these segment(s) would be included as a Priority Level 4 route. 3. Citizen Petition (CP #3) A Petition containing 50 signatures representing 1 Eagan business (Lifetime Fitness) was submitted on April 1, 2017. The petition is requesting that an additional trail segment be added for the 2017- 2018 season. Petitioners are requesting that the boulevard trail along Thomas Center Drive from Thomas Lake Road to Cliff Road be maintained during winter months. (see map) Rationale: The business promotes a healthy lifestyle which includes running and biking. Also, the employee parking lot is across the street and the sidewalk is necessary to stay off of the road. Additional segment quantities 1,480 feet (.28miles) (see map) Additional estimated annual cost $ 229 ($819/mile, 5-year average cost) Meets “Petition” Criteria set forth in Council Policy -Winter Maintenance of Sidewalk and Trailways (6/7/11): “Due to the cost and/or time to add additional segments to the overall maintenance program, it is necessary that a need and benefit be demonstrated to justify additions to the Winter Trail Maintenance system. Subsequently, no public request will be considered unless accompanied by a petition of at least 50 property owners or employees of businesses located within ½ mile of the segment to be considered.” .” Does not meet any other City Council Winter Trail Maintenance Policy Criteria: The Council’s discretion will be used to designate other segments as necessary to provide continuity, designated recreational loops, etc. Additional Related Factors: • If added, provides connectivity to the existing trails at Thomas Lake Road and Cliff Road which are currently maintained. • If added, this segment would be included as a Priority Level 3 route. NEW TRAILS TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN 2017 (NT) 1. New Trail (NT #1) An 8-foot wide concrete sidewalk is planned to be constructed in 2017 on the north side of Vikings Parkway from Lone Oak Parkway to Ames Crossing Road. This segment of new trail is approximately 3,920 feet in length. (see map) Rationale: Newly constructed concrete sidewalk. Additional segment quantities 3,920 feet (0.74 miles) (see map) Additional estimated annual cost $ 606 ($819/mile, 5-year average cost) An 8-foot wide bituminous trail is planned to be constructed in 2017 on the South side of Vikings Parkway from Lone Oak Parkway to Ames Crossing Road. This segment of new trail is approximately 3,820 feet in length. (see map) Rationale: Newly constructed bituminous trail. Additional segment quantities 3,820 feet (0.72 miles) (see map) Additional estimated annual cost $ 589 ($819/mile, 5-year average cost) Meets City Council's Winter Trail Maintenance Policy criteria number 3: Trails along Neighborhood Collector Streets. These are local streets approximately 1 mile in length with 2 traffic lanes (with safety lanes/shoulders), traffic volumes less than 3,000 vehicles per day and speed limits of 35 mph or greater. Additional Related Factors: • Winter maintenance of trails on both sides of a roadway typically only occurs along roadways with higher speed limits and greater vehicle volumes (i.e. Yankee Doodle Road, Pilot Knob Road, etc.). • If added, provides connectivity to the existing trail at Lone Oak Parkway which is currently maintained. • If added, these segment(s) would be included as a Priority Level 4 route.

Public Works Department 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan, 2018-2022 (Part III - Infrastructure) Direction For Consideration: Affirm (or Revise) the draft 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), Part III - Public Works Infrastructure, 2018-2022, and direct it to the June 6, 2017, regular Council meeting for formal consideration of adoption. Facts:  Every year, the City Council adopts a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the City that becomes the planning guide for programming and scheduling various capital improvements. It is comprised of three parts: o Part I - Major Community Facilities/Buildings o Part II - Major Equipment & Vehicles o Part III - Infrastructure (Parks & Public Works)  The Public Works Department has completed the preparation of its draft CIP, Part III (Public Works Infrastructure) for 2018 to 2022 and would like to review it with the Council and incorporate any comments or revisions before presenting it for formal consideration and adoption at a regular Council meeting.  A summary list and map of the proposed first year's programmed improvements (2018) are included separate from the overall CIP document.  Staff recently received two requests to include improvements at the intersection of Duckwood Drive and Widgeon Way in the CIP for 2018. Another email was recently received expressing similar concerns about the intersection. Recently, numerous postings about this intersection have appeared on NextDoor. Staff’s initial investigations indicate revisions to the intersection may be appropriate. Typically such improvements would be included as part of a larger public improvement or at the direction of the City Council. The draft CIP does not include this intersection, but discussion of the intersection will be requested at the Council workshop.

Streetscape & Entrance Monument Guidelines / Cedar Grove Project Direction For Consideration: 1) Review draft Streetscape and Entrance Monument Guidelines and provide direction for future council action, and 2) Review preliminary design of Project 1189 (Streetscape/Entrance Monument Improvements – Silver Bell Road/Cedar Grove Parkway/Nicols Road), with consideration of the following: a. Approval of the project, and b. Authorization to coordinate a landscape maintenance service district, and c. Authorization to prepare plans and specifications by WSB. Facts:  On August 20, 2002, the City Council awarded Contract 02-17 (Cedar Grove and Central Parkway Streetscaping Improvements) including the installation of various streetscaping elements, including entrance monuments, fencing, lighting, irrigation, and plantings, within the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area based upon the design study recommendations for Project 866, Cedar Grove – Streetscaping and Lighting. Said recommendations have since been incorporated as guidelines for public streetscape, entrance monument, and general architectural elements on improvements throughout the city.  On May 12, 2015, the City Council received an assessment of the existing conditions of the landscaping and entrance monuments within the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area and provided direction to staff on addressing future modifications.  On February 14, 2017, the Council reviewed considerations for revisions to the Streetscape and Entrance Monument Guidelines, as well as proposed 2017 improvements in the Cedar Grove Redevelopment Area, and provided direction to staff for the guidelines and proposed Cedar Grove improvements, including associated maintenance requirements.  City staff has prepared visual examples, which will be presented (see attachment VI-1), that are representative of updated standards to be incorporated in the Streetscape and Entrance Monument Guidelines. Upon Council review, Council direction will be sought to prepare and present the guidelines for future Council approval. Due to timing, said Council direction will be incorporated in the review of the Viking Lakes streetscape plans.  The City’s consultant (WSB) will present the preliminary design of the proposed streetscape and entrance monument improvements (Project 1189), including cost estimates and funding, at the existing intersection of Cedar Grove Parkway, Nicols Road and Silver Bell Road near Trunk Highway 13. Consideration of project approval is being sought.  The anticipated maintenance of the proposed improvements will be significant and the Council has accordingly requested the inclusion of a maintenance plan and associated cost estimate. Discussions with City staff have indicated a lack of adequate staff and time to provide the anticipated level of service for this highly visible area. Accordingly, staff has requested a cost estimate from a contractor to provide the expected landscape maintenance services. This information will be provided at the Council workshop.  In order to provide the anticipated level of landscape maintenance service, the associated cost is expected to be substantial. Since there are not budgeted funds to address such maintenance service and since the associated aesthetics would appear to provide benefit to the neighborhood businesses, staff is suggesting consideration of the neighborhood businesses participating in the funding of the maintenance activities.  Staff has had informal discussions with limited Cedar Grove neighborhood businesses, including representatives of Twin Cities Premium Outlets (TCPO), about the possibility of a “service district” approach to address the funding need. The business representatives have indicated a guarded openness to considering such a cost for the proposed service and have asked for specific cost information before further consideration. Anticipated annual service district fees for each potentially affected property will be provided at the Council workshop.  Staff and the consultant will be prepared to address any questions the Council may have at the workshop.

From: Cheryl Stevenson On Behalf Of City Council Sent: Thursday, May 4, 2017 10:17 AM To: 'Meg Tilley'; 'Mike Maguire' Subject: Public Works CIP 2018-22 Mayor & Council, In the cover memo for the CIP that was distributed to you last night was a link address for your use. Rather than have you type the excessively long link address in, I have included the link below. https://cityofeagan.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=9720eb81531d488086e6af4185dbeaf9 As was mentioned after the Council meeting last night, I will have a CIP option for you other than the 3-ring binder. I hope to have a completely electronic version of the CIP with the interactive map (see above link) attached some time this week. I will email it to you as soon as it is ready. I will provide a demonstration of the interactive map at the Council workshop next week, but encourage you to utilize it by clicking on objects identified with index references. Please contact me with any questions.
