Anchorage, AK 99519-69 Dear Mr. Dickenson' Subject: Kenai River Bddge Access Road Pathway, Project No. TEA-0463(16)/54295 The Council of the City of Kenai passed the attached Resolution No. 2002-48 on July 3, 2002. The City wants to reaffirm its support roi' a properly engineered and constructed separated pedestrian and bike path along the Bridge Access Road. Many of the existing pathways were built without excavating all or enough of the frost susceptible matedal in the subgrade. The pathways then developed frost heaves and bad cracks in the pavement. Therefore, the City included "properly engineered and constructed" as part of the resolution. The City believes that it will be much safer for the users with less dust and noise to build the pathway near the property lines separate and away from the roads. This pathway is important to Kenai and Soldotna. It will complete the circle or Unity Trail along the Kenai Spur, Sterling Highway, K-Beach Road and Bridge Access Road back to the Kenai Spur Highway. Sincerely, Keith Kornelis Public Works Manager KK/jet cc: Linda Snow, City Manager Wince-Corthell-B ryson Suggested by: Administration CITY OF KENAI RESOLUTION 2002-48 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA REAFFIRMING ITS SUPPORT OF THE STATE OF ALASKA DOT/PF IN ITS EFFORT TO PROPERLY ENGINEER AND CONSTRUCT A SAFE, SEPARATED PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE PATH ALONG THE BRIDGE ACCESS ROAD.
