Additional information on the conference can be accessed by calling the Conference Hotline, 651-296-1051. He noted that, many noted and gifted speakers are scheduled to make presentations and the conference promises to afford attendees the opportunity "to expand the role of bicycles in improving transportation, recreation and health in your community." • Reese reported that promoters are working with city officials to stage the Touchstone Energy Bicycle Festival on June 18, 2000(Father's Day) in downtown Saint Paul. The headline event of the Festival will be a criterium, that could include World and Olympic medalists as well as members of the U.S. 2000 Olympic Team.

PHYSICAL JEV_LOPM_MT •& IMPROVEMENT SEGME.I`IT Ford Bridge Reconstruction/Approaches: Ramsey County engineer, James Tolaas, said that construction will begin in 2000 to construct the new Ford Parkway bridge between Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Federal, State, and County dollars will fund the project. Tolaas provided a historical perspective of the Ford Bridge, which will be 75 years old when construction is completed in 2002. The bridge was last rehabilitated in 1973. Designers have strived mightily to ensure the new structure will be architecturally sensitive to the historical bridge. Tolaas believes the efforts have been successful. There will be separated bike and pedestrian areas on the bridge deck. Bike lanes will be six-feet wide. The top height of the railing on the deck will be 4' 6". The new bridge will be 20 feet wider that the existing deck but traffic lanes will be reduced from 12 feet (existing) to 11 feet on the new bridge. This will serve,to enhance the use of the bridge for both pedestrians and bicyclists. Tolaas stated that minimal work will be required to complete the new approach for the bridge on the Saint Paul side. A discussion ensued over the past conflicts between pedestrians and bicyclist passing beneath the Ford Bridge on Mississippi River Road. Also, questions were raised regarding the timing and duration of road closures of MRB to accommodate bridge construction. Tolaas said it is likely these issues can be worked out in such a way as to not negatively impact the Saint Paul Classic Bike Tour. Tolaas concluded by saying that he believes the new Ford Bridge will serve both pedestrians and bicyclists far better than the existing bridge. Shepard Road Update: Public Works engineer, Bruce Elder, provided an overview, with the aid of preliminary drawings, of city plans to reconstruct Shepard Road between Market Street and the Upper Landing. He said major storm sewer construction near Wabasha Bridge could begin as early as Fall 2000 with road construction scheduled for 2001. City plans for the restricted area near the railroad bridge and Robert Street Bridge (the Narrows) call for cantilevering a deck over the Mississippi River channel to gain needed space for pedestrian and bike paths, as well as various other streetscape elements. A spirited discussion ensued over the allocation of space for motor vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, trees, and lighting in the Shepard Road public right of way. The safety implications of placing pedestrians, bicyclists, and in-line skaters on a 10-foot wide combined path were exposited by various BAB members. Newmark moved for the BAB to conditionally endorse the City's preliminary plans for the construction of a combined pedestrian /bicycle path and associated design elements on Shepard Road between Market Street and Jackson Street. The endorsement being predicated on city staff continuing to work collaboratively with the BAB to refine the preliminary plans and make modifications where possible for maximizing user group safety on the combined pedestrian /bicycle path. Motion passed. Olsen abstained. Arey will coordinate future BAB efforts in this matter with Parks (Jody Martinez and Don Varney) and Public Works (Bruce Elder) staff. Elder said that the competition for space on Shepard Road by various stakeholders has been intense, but he believes the proposed plan represents a balanced approach to the legitimacy of various and wide-ranging demands by different groups. He opined that the current plan will result in a significant improvement over existing conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists. He said the City hopes that, in the future some type of accommodation with railroad officials will result in even more space becoming available in the Narrows for multi-modal use. He acknowledged that this is not likely to occur in the near term. Elder said that the old Shepard Road alignment between Randolph Avenue and Eagle Parkway/ Chestnut Street will eventually be converted to a linear park with only limited motor vehicle access, from the Randolph Street side, to the old tank farm area which is being converted to an industrial park. -2- ' B.A.B. Meeting: March 7, 2000. Minutes: Continued. Physical Development & Improvement Segment: Continued. Sibley Street Pedestrian Way: Reese presented a copy of preliminary plans developed for the City by SRF Consulting Group, Inc. for the Sibley Streetscape Project. Input from members was solicited and comments noted. The BAB reached consensus and recommended: 1. A striped bike lane should be built from Shepard Road to E. Fifth Street. 2. The placement of the bike lane should be on the east side of Sibley Street. Grand Round / Como Bike Lanes Update: The agenda item was laid over for consideration at the April 4 meeting. AWARENESS PROMOTION SEGMENT E-Bike Presentation: Paul Chromosta and Bill Burke of Low Impact Living/ e-bike made a presentation relating to the use of electric-assisted,pedal-powered bicycles in urban areas. They demonstrated two specific applications, i.e., friction drive bicycles and DC brush motor bicycles. Chromosta and Burke believe this type of travel mode could have meaningful applications for commuters and physically challenged individuals wishing to use a bicycle for transportation or recreation. Communities in at least five states have passed resolutions or ordinances allowing electric-assisted bikes to be operated on multi-use paths and streets. Currently the federal government allows the use of friction drive electric bikes on federal trails, provided local municipalities also approve the use. Olsen said that at this time, such devices are not permitted on off-road trails under the jurisdiction of the Division of Parks and Recreation. Chromosta and Burke expressed interest in pursuing the matter of gaining City support for the use of electric-assisted bicycles in Saint Paul. Fitzpatrick moved that the BAB explore the potential use of electric-assisted in regards to fulfilling the BAB mandate to advise the Mayor and City Council on city-wide matters relating to bicycling. Newmark seconded. Motion Passed. Chromosta and Burke invited interested board members to demo electric-assisted, pedal -powered bikes in the parking lot of the West Seventh Street Community Center following the BAB meeting. BAB Website Update: The agenda item was laid over for consideration at the April 4 meeting. PROGRAMING EVENTS SEGMENT EarthWeek 2000: The agenda item was laid over for consideration at the April 4 meeting. OPERATIONS SEGMENT Board Vacancies/Recruitment: This agenda item was laid over for consideration at the April 4 meeting. Fitzpatrick moved for adjournment. Krivit seconded. The meeting was adjourned. -3- OFFICE OF THE COUNTY MANAGER RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA MARCH 21, 2000 The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners met in regular session with the following members present: Bennett, Guerin, Haigh, Reinhardt, Rettman, Wiessner and Chair Ortega -7.
