Staff stated Elk River has maintained the road in the past. <br /> Mr. Femrite stated Ramsey city staff has indicated they have no funding available for <br /> this project. <br /> Mayor Dietz questioned how Jarvis Street could be improved because it wouldn't be <br /> fair to Elk River taxpayers if Ramsey doesn't pay their portion for repairing the road. <br /> Mr. Femrite questioned if the Council would like a sidewalk or trail on this <br /> improvement route. He discussed the trail connections could lead to the Youth <br /> Athletic Complex and the future Mississippi River trail system. He stated funding for <br /> these trails could come from Municipal State Aid. <br /> Councilmember Burandt stated it is important to have safe trail routes along <br /> roadways. She stated Elk River doesn't have the bike trail system that is as nice as the <br /> City of Ramsey. She stated she knows of people who bike along the railroad line and <br /> the city needs a way to move trail users along main corridor routes. <br /> Council directed staff to include an option for trails so they could review the cost. <br /> P O W E R E D 0 Y <br /> 1`4Af- <br />
