History: Each year the county partners with other agencies to provide funding to develop and implement bikeway and sidewalk projects, thereby extending the county bikeway and sidewalk network and supporting the local system.

The selected projects are required to align with the Transportation Systems Plan, Complete Streets Policy, and Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation Plans. Staff recommends negotiating the following agreements for bikeway projects:

• PW 16-43-19 with the City of Rogers, $100,000 (CP 2192900)
• PW 18-24-19 with the City of Champlin, $50,000 (CP 2192300)
• PW 19-04-19 with the City of Brooklyn Park, $100,000 (CP 2192400)

• PW 22-17-19 with the City of Plymouth, $75,000 (CP 2183506)

Current Request: This request is for authorization to negotiate agreements with partner agencies for cost participation in the construction of six bikeway projects, totaling an estimated county cost of $525,000, and authorization to transfer funds (property tax) in the amount of $160,000 from Bikeway Participation (CP 2999957) and Sidewalk Participation (CP 2999966) into Cost Participation and Partnerships (CP 2183500).

Each agency will administer the contracts for its project and, upon completion, assume maintenance responsibilities for the improvements at no cost to the county.

The cost participation for these projects is in accordance with the Cost Participation Policy (Resolution 12-0058, adopted February 7, 2012).

Impacts/Outcomes: These agreements will assist in developing and implementing bikeway projects and improving safety, as well as extending the bikeway system. The projects will close bikeway gaps to support local transportation needs that align with the Transportation Systems Plan, Complete Streets Policy, and the 2040 Bicycle Transportation Plan.
