Memorandum 15-032
TO: Marvin Yoder - City Manager
FROM: Carey Meyer – Public Works Director
DATE: March 3, 2015
SUBJECT: Strategic Doing -
Build the Recommended Trail Connections in the
Non-Motorized Transportation Plan
The construction of the following trails is recommended in the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan:
Shellford Trail – A 200 foot long Level 1 foot path in the Shellford right-of-way (connecting the existing road to the north to Lee Street) is proposed. Public Works/Parks will complete any required clearing and install a six foot wide gravel pathway to create a Level 3 trail.
Danview Trail – A 300 foot long Level 1 footpath in the Danview Street right-of-way (between Bartlett and Hohe Streets) is proposed. Public Works/Parks will acquire the necessary wetland permit and complete any required clearing and install a six foot wide gravel pathway to create a Level 3 trail.
West Homer Elementary Trail – A trail is proposed between Forest Glen Drive and the West Homer Elementary School. Public Works will evaluate potential alignments, secure necessary easements and prepare bid documents for the construction of a Level 3 trail.
Roger’s Loop Trail Head Land Acquisition – Negotiations with the property owner will hopefully result in the acquisition of this parcel later this year.
Construction Schedule – Public Works will start construction of the Shellford and Danview Trails this winter and will hopefully have them completed by Spring. The West Homer Elementary Trail should be finished later in the Summer by a competitively selected Contractor.
