2a. Presentation/Discussion on Existing Thackeray Trail Design Options:
Frye reported this is the first of five meetings that will occur regarding the design of the existing Thackeray
Trail. The City sent out a request for proposals for preliminary street design options and Scott Drabicki, Clark
Dietz is here to present design options. Drabicki gave a PowerPoint presentation addressing the existing
deteriorated pavement, drainage, stormwater and pedestrian facilities along with presenting seven different
boulevard design options. Staff is looking for Committee direction for Clark Dietz to complete Task 4 of the
RFP to prepare plan views, cross sections and cost estimates for three preliminary designs. The next meeting
will be August 6th to review those designs, make any revisions and then bring those designs forward to a
Public Information meeting on August 19th. The final recommendation will come before Council on September
17th. Once this is completed, we will still need to do an RFP for design and construction contracts and a
decision will be needed if Thackeray Trail will be extended or not. The Committee discussed the options and
agreed on three: 1) Urban Boulevard with no median; 2) Rural Boulevard with an inverted median; and 3)
Urban Boulevard with the Cross Section at 37’.
Motion by Shaw to adjourn the Committee-of-the-Whole meeting; second by Ellis. Motion carried 7-0. The
