John Gretz reviewed the report with a map showing existing sidewalks and pathways in the City and explained the policies under which they were installed. To complete a pedestrian circulation system in the City, the report recommends five-foot wide concrete CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota June 26, 1980 Page 5 sidewalks be installed on both sides of all residential collector streets with future development. These sidewalks would be installed and paid for by developers. The re- mainder of the system would be eight-foot wide bituminous pathways. At this time, 20 miles of the pathway is not required and is adjacent to future residential development. This portion could be installed and paid for by developers. An additional 14 miles of pathways not required at this time and not adjacent to future residential development could be funded by a trails charge payable with building permits. An additional 18 miles of pathways are needed now at an estimated cost of $923,000. This could be an additional building permit charge or proposed as a bond referendum. Mr. Asleson said that, in his opinion, the only viable alternative for funding these immediate pathway needs is through a bond referendum. Harold Bergquist, of Independent School District 196, was present to comment on pathways important for Scott Highlands Middle School and the Senior High School. He also asked the Council to continue to work for a signalized intersection at Pilot Knob Road and 140th Street in the future.
