Resident urges more neighborhood parks and bike/pedestrian paths during public comment
Summary
A longtime Rathdrum resident asked the commission to require developers to include small neighborhood parks and to add bike/pedestrian paths on Baikal Road because children are playing in streets and she feels unsafe bicycling on busy roads.
During the visitor comment period, resident Jenny Knutson (gave address at the meeting) asked the commission to prioritize small neighborhood parks in new developments and to plan for a bike and pedestrian path along Baikal Road between Meyer Road and Highway 41. Knutson said many nearby developments lack small play areas and that she and local children do not feel safe riding in the street.
Staff told Knutson that documents are available on the city website and offered to speak with her after the meeting about obtaining printed materials or filing a public records request for planning documents. The commission did not take formal action on the comment but noted that visitor topics may be placed on a future agenda for discussion.
