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. g:\parks comm mtg notes \2014 \agendas and minutes \030614 minutes.doc Parks and Recreation Commission, February 6`h, 2014 Page 2 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.
