D. Purchase and installation of vinyl floor in the Harry and Louise Ross Room
Staff presented information about the purchase of vinyl floor materials to be laid in the room. It was
recommended to purchase a vinyl floor because it has a 20 year commercial warranty and will not be
damaged if liquids are spilled on it. RRC Advisory Board discussed a floor color and narrowed it to two
different colors. Staff will pick one of the colors to order. Floor will be installed by staff sometime after
Dew Days. We will start to eliminate the chairs with castor wheels from this room because they will
damage the floor.
6. Discussion Items
A. Rambling River Center Emergency Action Plan
Director Distad put together an Emergency Action Plan. Motion by Wood, seconded by Hennen to
formally train front desk volunteer and program leaders on the Emergency Action Plan.
B. 2019 Work Plan Review
Advisory Board members reviewed the work plan and updated the work plan to reflect the following:
Goal #6 Assisting with the fundraising efforts for the plaza has been put on hold by the city
council.
Goal #7 A trip planning committee report will be given in May.

members to help with compiling a book of stories that have been done in the local newspapers about the
Rambling River Center.
E. Community Outreach

descriptions. Page has provided new descriptions for discussion.
7. Staff Report
a. Informational Updates.
Logo Update – Graphic arts consultant provided several designs. After reviewing eight different
options, Board members asked for A and D to be combined with the font style of A and no circle design
with a possible wave in front. Kohlbeck will provide this information to the graphic designer and will
bring back the revised logo design for the Board to review and approve.
Community Gardens – Volunteer from the community would like to coordinate a garden for anyone to
access food. The former outdoor pool site has been identified as the location for a community garden
because of parking and having a water source for the garden. The volunteer is anticipating having the
garden started in 2020, but will depend on recruiting enough volunteers to help plant and maintain the
garden.
8. Advisory Roundtable
Page – Asked Board members to bring at least one idea related to any of the work plan objectives to the
next meeting.

Taking into account speed limits on adjacent
roadways, trail separation, and difficult crossings,
the trails in Farmington were categorized as High
Comfort (green in the map to the left) and Low
Comfort (yellow in the map).
Doing this shows how Farmington’s high comfort
trail network becomes less of a network and more
of a series of islands, isolated from other trail
connections. The map to the left shows seven
distinct high comfort islands that exist within
Farmington. Generally, people are comfortable
biking within an ‘island’, but may experience stress
travelling to other parts of the city.
This analysis helps to inform future trails, that will
bring the most benefit to improving biking and
walking connections throughout Farmington.
The city currently owns and maintains 49.5 miles of paved asphalt trails, one mile of natural surface trails and about a half mile of boardwalks and bridges. Consistently, community surveys show trails are one of the most used and most popular park/recreational facilities in cities. There are 31 miles of concrete sidewalks in Farmington, most of which are located in the older, established neighborhoods of Farmington.

Q: What is your comfort level with biking and walking in Farmington?
650
people
participated in
the community
survey!
A community bike and pedestrian survey was launched at the beginning of the planning process. This survey consisted of 11 questions and focused on individual preferences regarding biking and walking as well as what respondents thought of Farmington’s current and future bike/walk network. In total, the survey was open for collection for 2 months from December 2018 to February 2019. During this time, 650 people participated in the survey, providing important ideas and feedback to shape the Bike + Ped Plan. Below is a summary of what we’ve heard from the community survey.
Social Pinpoint is a map-based online engagement tool that allows community members to leave comments on specific areas of the city via a map. Participants are then able to interact with each other, by ‘liking’ or ‘disliking’ other comments, or replying directly into a comment thread.
Social Pinpoint was used during the first phase of community engagement to identify areas in the city where:
• biking and walking destinations exist• gaps in the sidewalk and trail network exist• speeding traffic is an issue for pedestrians and bicyclists• people feel unsafe crossing intersections• trails and sidewalks need improvement
In total, Social Pinpoint was open for comment for two months from December 2018 to February 2019. Over this period of time, 389 unique users visited the website, 174 comments were left by 50 people, and an average time of 14.5 minutes spent on the site by visitors.
To the right is a screenshot showing the locations of all of the comments provided for this survey.

»Neighborhood Trails,
»Sidewalks,
»Greenways, and
»On-Street Bikeways
»Intersection Treatments
The ‘Network Plan Elements’ and ‘Intersection Treatments’ boards provide further explanation about the components shown in the Draft Network Plan.
FARMINGTON BIKE + PED PLAN
The following goals provide direction for the overall bicycle and pedestrian network in Farmington. The goals are broad statements that are meant to be a guide for decision makers when vetting future city projects, policies, and programs.
Goal 1
»Design, construct and maintain a comfortable, safe, and connected bicycle and pedestrian network suitable for those who are ‘interested but concerned’ and considerate of people of all ages and ability levels in Farmington.
Goal 2
»Building off of the existing system, improve conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists to connect to key community destinations such as parks, trails, schools, commercial areas.
Goal 3
»Make biking and walking a viable choice for transportation within Farmington, as well as for recreational purposes to encourage an active and healthy lifestyle.
NETWORK PLAN ELEMENTS
DRAFT SYSTEM GOALS
Priority trails are multi-use paved trails that connect longer distances across the city. Priority trails are generally in alignment with higher volume roadways, such as Pilot Knob Road, Aikin Road, and Highway 50. These trails are intended to serve as major connections to schools, parks, commercial, employment and civic areas, as well as provide connections to neighboring communities. Priority Trails, in combination with Farmington Greenways, create a legible, continuous system that provides high-quality trail experience with a rough grid network connection at half mile intervals throughout the entire city.
The following are recommendations for Priority Trails:
The following are recommendations for Greenways:
Priority Trails
Greenways are multi-use paved trails that are located in scenic, natural, parkland, open space, or undeveloped areas. Greenways are primarily located independent of an existing roadway. These trails are intended to provide recreational opportunities for bicyclists and pedestrians, with opportunities to connect to the rural or natural landscape. Regional trails, such as the Vermillion River Greenway and the North Creek Greenway exist today in Farmington. This plan proposes and supports the continued completion of these trail networks, as well as introduces a few key greenway segments that could provide direct connections to local schools. Farmington Greenways, in combination with Priority Trails, create a legible, continuous system that provides high-quality trail experience with a rough grid network connection at half mile intervals throughout the entire city.
Greenways
»Trail lighting (lower, pedestrian-scaled lighting or bollard-style lighting)
»Community wayfinding at key intersections, directional signage to key community destinations
»High visibility crosswalk markings and curb ramps at roadway crossings
»Benches/seating as needed
»Maximum separation between the roadway and trail for added comfort/safety for trail users
»Year-round availability (snow clearing) performed or enforced by the City
»Minimum 8’ (preferable 10’+) width should be maintained, with potential lane markings
»Future developments that are adjacent to or contain plans for future Priority Trail network segments should align future trails as closely as possible as the plan shows, with the understanding that these trail segments are part of a larger city-wide trail network.
»Where feasible, consideration of grade-separated crossings at intersecting high-volume roadways
»Future funding/implementation: Developers, City of Farmington, regional and local trail/SRTS grant funding, Dakota County, MnDOT
»Trailhead locations with on-street or dedicated parking
»Trail identification (name) and signage at trail access points and at key intersections
»Minimum 8’ (preferable 10’+) width should be maintained with a 2’ buffer (mowed/cleared area) on either side of the trail
»Interpretive or educational signage at key locations to inform trail users about local attractions, native plants and wildlife habitat, or cultural/historical markers
»Benches and seating at key vistas or viewpoints. Preferably located every half-mile along the trail
»Where feasible, consideration of grade-separated crossings at intersecting high-volume roadways
»Emergency call boxes in remote locations
»Future funding/implementation: City of Farmington, state/regional/local trail grant funding, outdoor/recreational trail grant funding, Dakota County

Sidewalks are concrete paved walkways, intended for use by pedestrians to connect within residential areas and commercial areas. Sidewalks are essential in urbanized areas to allow for people of all abilities to gain access to businesses, schools, and community destinations. In Farmington, sidewalks are required in new developments along one side of the street. Sidewalk connections exist in some parts of the existing neighborhoods north of downtown, and a nearly complete network of sidewalks exist (on both sides of the street) in downtown and in the neighborhoods east of TH3. A number of Activity Areas have been identified in Farmington; these are areas where there is a high demand for increased pedestrian safety and comfort.
Sidewalks + Activity Areas
The following are recommendations for Neighborhood Trails: Neighborhood trails are multi-use paved trails that connect residential areas to local parks and to the priority trail network. These trails exist today within established Farmington neighborhoods and are generally aligned with low-volume roadways. These trails are intended for use by pedestrians and bicyclists. Future local trails are indicated in alignment with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and future developments are required to build trail connections in new neighborhoods according to these general alignments.
Neighborhood Trails
»8-10’ wide asphalt-paved trails, to meet neighborhood development standards set by the City of Farmington
»Curb ramps at all intersection crossings
»Trail amenities such as lighting, wayfinding, and benches to be determined as needed by neighborhood association or per City of Farmington recommendation
»Future funding/implementation: Owner/Developer
On-Street Bikeways are marked bike routes that provide key connections and fill network gaps in the priority trail network. On-street bikeways are located along existing roadways with low or medium-volume traffic, wide right-of-way widths, and little or no on-street parking for vehicles. It is understood that bicyclists are able to use any roadway in Farmington, provided that the bicyclists follow the rules of the road. For the purposes of this plan, on-street bikeways are NOT intended to have dedicated bike lanes. However, with future increased use, the City of Farmington may consider upgrading these roadways with dedicated bike lanes upon further study.
On-Street Bikeways
The following are recommendations for On-Street Bikeways:
»Bikeway signage, to be visible to drivers and bicyclists, located at key intersections and along roadways
»Roadway markings, where necessary
»Consistent street lighting throughout bikeway
»Future funding/implementation: City of Farmington
The following are recommendations for Activity Areas:
»On-going effort to complete sidewalk network gaps
»Enforcement by the City of Farmington for businesses and residents to keep sidewalks clear in the winter
»Pedestrian-scaled lighting
»Curb ramps at all intersections
»High visibility crosswalk markings + forward stop bars at major intersections in the downtown commercial area
»Wayfinding and distance markers to community destinations
»Seating, planters, and placemaking elements located within commercial areas
»Sidewalk replacement/repair schedule as needed
»Future funding/implementation: Business owners, property owners, City of Farmington, streetscape/pedestrian/urban design grant opportunities

INTERSECTION TREATMENTS
A number of intersections have been identified for future treatments to improve crossing and visibility for pedestrians and bicyclists. Below are recommended treatments at each intersection (keyed on the Draft Network Plan). Above are examples of some of the treatements recommended below.
Reduced curb radii: slows traffic at turns and decreases the distance required of pedestrians to cross intersections.
User-activated signal: pedestirans use a button to activate a lights, signalling to vehicles to stop and yield.
Pedestrian crossing signs: to be placed at the approach of roundabouts, alerting drivers of pedestrian crossings
High visibility crosswalks: make pedestrians more visible within crosswalks. Forward stop bars: increase buffer between stopped vehicles and crosswalks at intersections
Grade-separated crossings: trail overpasses or tunnels that allow trail users to avoid crossing intersections with vehicular or rail traffic.
Leading pedestrian intervals: updated signal timing allows for pedestrians to cross a roadway before vehicles. This allows pedestrians the ability to get a head start on crossing the intersection while all traffic is stopped.
Pilot Knob Rd and Upper 182nd St
»High visibility crosswalk markings
»Forward stop bars
»Potential for decreased curb radii
»Leading Pedestrian Interval for ped walk signal
»Intersection was identified in the Dakota County Bike Ped Plan for potential grade separated crossing
CR 64/195th Street and Pilot Knob Rd
»‘Pedestrian Crossing’ signs to be installed on the right side of approach to intersection at pedestrian crosswalk
»Requires coordination with Dakota County

FARMINGTON BIKE + PED PLAN
The following recommendations provide direction as to how to accomplish the goals of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Use dot stickers to indicate how important each recommendation is to YOU.
»Future trails shown on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan (2018) are also shown in the Bike + Ped Network Plan, along with future trails and sidewalks per the Downtown Redevelopment Plan (2016). The constructed trail alignment within a new development may vary, but should generally follow the alignment shown in the Network Plan and new trails should connect to adjacent trails, per guidance from City of Farmington planning, transportation and parks staff.
»The City of Farmington will be responsible for winter snow removal along Farmington Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan designated priority trails.
»All Farmington Schools will be connected to high comfort trail facilities to ensure Safe Routes to Schools. The City of Farmington will coordinate with the Farmington School district to ensure bicycle and pedestrian connections are continued to the school facility’s main entryway. The City will encourage all schools to participate in the Safe Routes to School program.
»Establish pedestrian priority zones to support design standards that encourage walking in destination-filled locations. These locations include Downtown Farmington and emerging activity centers throughout the city.
»Establish Rambling River Park and the Depot Way Art walk as an “Active Gateway” to the city and enhance their connection to Downtown Farmington
»Consider enhanced safety measures for priority trails at all roadway crossings where traffic volumes exceed 10,000 cars per day
»Coordinate with other agencies (MnDOT, Dakota County, Empire Township, Lakeville, Eureka Township) to incorporate Farmington Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan elements into their planning and areas of responsibility
»Annually evaluate progress the implementation of the plan
»Consider an on-going Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee, to assist with implementation and evaluation of plan elements, future community surveys
»Develop a coordinated wayfinding and signage strategy to communicate priority and greenway trail networks
»Create and post updated trail and bikeway routes using City communications
»Work with Rambling River Center to develop walking and biking clubs/programming, including a bike library or bike fleet for community use

O ne of the fac to rs attributable to the members hip inc reas e is the F inanc ial S upport P rogram (F S P ). T his
