Director Keating responded to Commissioner Davis’ question regarding possible <br />availability and use of Federal enhancement funds for the off-road facility. He also responded to <br />Mayor McDonald’s question regarding curbing and gave further statistics about grant funding. <br /> <br />CVB <br />ITY OF ERO EACH <br /> <br />Council Member Solari wanted to get the word out about the “Veteran’s Memorial <br />Pedestrian Bikeway”. <br />Vice Chairman Neuberger inquired when the name changed from the “Al Fletcher <br />Memorial” and advised there was a plaque by the Catholic Church on the bike path put up in 1973 <br />or 1974 which covers the City’s portion of the bike path. <br />Council Member Solari wanted to get something going for bike paths around the <br />community and have them be better designed. He wanted to raise them up a level as has been well <br />done in other communities, particularly Davis, California. He hoped his plan would be put <br />together after the first of the year in the form of a proposal for the City and the County in order to <br />get funding for a designer to create a plan to include interconnections and design techniques. It <br />would be a guide for the future. By having a plan, funding would be more available. He <br />mentioned connections at the airport, Station 2, Dodgertown, and the Main Relief Canal in the <br />future by partnering with the water control district. He believed the canal system was a <br />ready-made roadmap for extending the pedestrian-bikeway system throughout the county at a low <br />cost. He was hoping to get Commission and the Council support for his idea and take it back to the <br />MPO. <br />Commissioner Bowden suggested Council Member Solari look into the history of <br />this before moving forward with his idea. He said he was unaware of the name and that was not a <br />material point in his idea and he felt his idea would further the MPO’s plan by filling it in. <br />November 14, 2005 12 <br /> <br />
