>City Engineer Gary Presol explained the Transportation Enhancement Program
>grant process to the task force members.  He also reviewed the projects
>submitted in last year's application which included enhancements to the
>south couplet project and a bike path along D Street east of Mountain View
>Rd.  Gary said that he had already received input from two other city
>commissions and will present the results to the Public Works/ Finance
>Committee for direction and approval to apply for the grant.  Projects
>cannot exceed $500,000 and require a maximum !0% match.  Proposals are due
>in to Idaho Transportation district offices by March 21, 2000.
>
>After reviewing a list of possible projects which would fit the grant
>guidelines and the goals of the task force, the group decided that
>enhancements to the south couplet project are still their highest priority.
>  These enhancements would include an extension of the Sweet Ave. path 
>north
>to the downtown area, provision of a connection to the path to be built
>east of Highway 95, and development of a small rest area on the site of the
>old Wren House on the north side of Highway 8.  The second priority of the
>task force is paving a path from Highway 95 east to Berman Creekside Park.
>
>The task force agreed to develop a strategic plan for property acquisition
>and development of Paradise Path through Moscow.  A prioritized plan will
>be helpful when writing the grant to show that developing the south couplet
>provides an essential link in the progression of the path eastward.

>Room 103 of the Art and Architecture South Building on the U of I campus.
