Present were: Duwe, Brunzell, Corrigan, Dunckel, Ginzton, Stutz, Vargas and Welch. Wagner arrived at 7:15 p.m. Ad hoc committee was represented by Carol Gottlieb. C. The agenda was approved as amended below. 3.Old Business C. Henry Louie, City Engineer/Public Works Director, gave an update on capital projects. i. The design for the Paseo del Roble/Page Mill bridge will be complete next month with construction due to start in August. The $80K for the project (including a TDA grant of $9,600 to be used by 2006) represents money approved by the Town Council in 2003. ii. There is a funding opportunity from the State of CA for a bike lane from Fremont/Edith to Arastradero, maybe on both sides. Roadway needs widening and drainage needs improvement. There may be an opportunity for some Federal funding for the project as well, with a June 30, 2006 deadline. The Town would have to supply 20 percent matching funds. iii. Ground breaking festivities for the Moody Road trail improvement project are scheduled for Friday, June 9 at 11:00 a.m. The Council invites the Committee. The original design for the path called for a 5-foot path; most is now 7feet, running along the south (creek side) of the road. Other projects mentioned included: Miranda – complete, needs maintenance; Robleda – goes to bid for a 7-foot rather than a 5-foot path; the Foothill College project at $823,000, was seriously over budget, due in part to having been seriously under budgeted in the beginning. 2.

General Discussion Chairman Summit expressed our need for a bicycle representative and a bike route map. She re-iterated our goal – to finalize at least three maps – an updated walking map, an updated easement map and a map laying out our recommendations on how the on-road path system should be/could be developed in the future. She briefly mentioned areas that need clarification prior to our finalizing the on road map: 1. Zappatini Court – a bridge may be needed to cross the creek. Easement needs to be swapped. 2. Miraloma to Amigos Court – needs the engineer’s recommendation. The minutes of the meeting of March 27 were approved as amended. Ginzton moved; Wagner seconded. Unanimous Yes.
