Council Member White recounted that the local Kiwanis Club had made maps every <br />year on the old bike path. He was certain they could get funding from the clubs in town to fund <br />that part of it. <br />Chairman Lowther suggested Council Member Solari meet with Public Works <br />ththth <br />Director Davis to work on the bike path between 12 Street and 8 Street on 20 Avenue, he <br />would be happy to work with him in any way he can with this issue. <br /> <br />11. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS <br />Mayor McDonald thought this was a wonderful and cooperative effort and thought <br />we should have more of these meetings. It is a wonderful opportunity for both boards to gather to <br />exchange ideas. She appreciated everyone’s time and input. <br />Chairman Lowther commented it had been a vision of his since taking over as <br />Chairman. <br /> <br />12. PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />Council Member Abell also was appreciative of the meeting and inquired as to <br />th <br />whose responsibility it is to maintain the ditch on 20 Avenue south of SR 60, Public Works <br />th <br />Director Jim Davis responded that the center of the 20 Avenue corridor is an IRFWCD (Indian <br />River Farms Water Control District) canal. The County owns right-of-way to the west and the east <br />of the road, but the center belongs to the WCD. The County maintains on the east (the northbound <br />lanes). The west side has a narrow limited right-of-way. It would be great if it were culverted but <br />it would be very expensive. <br />Council Member Solari commented that the bikeway plan showed it culverted and <br />he believed, over time, it would improve that whole section of town. <br />Vice Chairman Neuberger recalled that Craig Fletcher had proposed years ago <br />making that a linear park. He thought that was an excellent idea. <br />November 14, 2005 13 <br /> <br />
