Council asks for design, cost details before approving trail wayfinding and master-plan updates
Summary
Staff outlined an update to the trails master plan and proposed wayfinding signage; council asked for cost breakdowns, clearer responsibility for design vs. construction and to link signage work to the parks advisory board and budget numbers before final approval.
Staff presented an update to the city's trails master plan and said officials would include potential ADA/code amendments and cross-section standards for the East Side as part of the scope. The presentation emphasized that trails originally planned for the East Side were not always built to the intended standard when the metro districts performed construction prior to city ownership.
On trail wayfinding signage, staff said the overall family of signage was approved previously but the mechanics (what content to include, whether to add QR codes or mileage markings) still need finalization with the parks board. Council members repeatedly asked for a clear cost breakdown between design and construction and requested that staff return with appropriation numbers: "When we get the budget numbers that we understand what's for design and what's for construction," one council member said. Staff agreed to provide the requested breakdown and to coordinate trail master-plan updates so that signage and ADA considerations are consistent across East and West sides.
