~/ <br />City of <br />Elk -~- <br />River <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation Director <br />DATE: October 12, 2009 <br />SUBJECT: Sidewalk Plowing Routes <br />The original intention of the sidewalk plowing plan was to clear snow from sidewalks <br />adjacent to main arterial roads, sidewalks that enhance citywide mobility, and sidewalk routes <br />to schools. As the inventory of parks, facilities, sidewalks, and trails increases it has become <br />necessary to review and prioritize the existing sidewalk plowing route. <br />• City Administrator Lori Johnson, Parks and Recreation Director Bill Maertz, and <br />Parks Supervisor Rodney Schreifels reviewed the sidewalk plowing route. <br />• Staff identified locations currently on the route that do not meet the criteria for <br />being on the sidewalk route. There are a variety of reasons why this situation evolved <br />and staff will be prepared to discuss them. <br />• There are some residential areas where sidewalks are being plowed and others where <br />they are not. This creates an inequity in service that can be addressed by removing <br />them from the route. <br />Staff will present route maps with the current route, new sidewalks, and the routes proposed <br />for removal. Staff is requesting council direction regarding these updates on the sidewalk <br />plowing route. <br />Attachments <br />^ Route Maps <br />
