PUBLIC FORUM
COMMISSION BUSINESS
Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Presentation
Shull supplied overview hand -outs, which provided highlights from the Master Plan. Janet gave a brief
summary of the CPPW Grant that funded the case study. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan was
designed, with input from Federal Way residents, to include an implementation strategy prioritizing potential
improvements and specifies short and long term improvements that can be made based on funding availability.
The Master Plan was adopted by Council 2 years ago, and will be added to the Comp Plan for 2015. Shull
displayed the maps of types of sidewalks /walkways and where residents identified a need for them. A short
question and answer session went on followed by a discussion on current and proposed bicycle and pedestrian
facilities.
STAFF REPORTS
Agenda item B was moved to go first.
PARKS APPRECIATION/EARTH DAY EVENT
Ikerd passed out the updated Parks Appreciation Day /Earth Day Volunteer Event list of site projects and
provided update on options for feeding the volunteers. Walsh offered man power for the grill at the four sites.
Walsh has reached out to local stores for opportunities for donations to the event, but has yet to hear back from
the businesses. Specific details were discussed in relation to what each site would need.

FAMILY FUNLAND
Leathers is set to begin work on March 7�h. The drain pipes have been installed. It was decided to make the
sidewalk level with the "tot" area, and necessary structural changes have been made to the plans. May is still
the expected timeframe to open Funland.
WAY- FINDING SIGNS UPDATE
Ikerd provided hand -outs of map showing existing sign locations. He will be working with Public Works and
King County to get the signage for the four parks (Steel Lake, Sagahlie, Lakota, and Sacajawea), which led to
a short review of existing signs and desired future signs.
GRANT UPDATE ON LAKOTA PARK
There is no money specific to commit yet, but they did accept the Park Plan. The new budget talks are coming
up in May /June, so we may not find anything out until August. The commission talked briefly of the work that
they previously identified as needing to be done at the Lakota Park, costs associated, and how funding would
be achieved without the school district stepping in. Ikerd and commissioners discussed alternate ways of
utilizing the grant at Karl Grosch Park if Lakota was unsuccessful. It will be a topic to revisit in May.
PANTHER LAKE UPDATE
Plans reviewers have given their comments, SWM had input, but Panther Lake is close to the final stage of the
Master Plan. Next month we will revisit the status of the design.
OTHER BUSINESS
Pfeiffer brought up trail maintenance. Resurfacing is needed. Is there a way volunteers could measure areas of
the trails that need replacing to give Steve a general linear number to look into getting bids.
