PUBLIC WORKS SUPERVISOR TIM GUIMONT TO REVIEW POTENTIAL SIDEWALK AND TRAILS
PROJECTS
PW Supervisor Guimont reviewed various areas throughout the City that the Parks and
Recreation Committee would like to construct a sidewalk or trail to connect with other sidewalks
or trails nearby. In summary, Guimont commented that staff is looking for Council direction as
to whether to continue moving forward or to hold off on the various sidewalk — trail projects.
Council reviewed the noted areas to connect sidewalks and or trails within Albertville. Council
was in agreement that the connections along Main Avenue NE would be the priority spot with
the younger students walking to the STMA Middle School on 50th Street NE (former STMA
High School). Council directed staff to send notification to the abutting property owners along
Main Avenue NE. Notifying the homeowners will let them know what Council and staff s
intentions are with the installation of a sidewalk along the west side of Main Avenue NE.
Council also directed staff to research what the Right -of -Way guidelines are, how much the City
has and inform the appropriate homeowner.

of the Council agreed.
