Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, November 19, 2012 Page 8 Mr. Cappello replied, I couldn't venture a guess without measuring it. We could probably put the walk in. The problem is the signalization for the crosswalk. Mr. Marrie stated, do the whole project at one tixne with crosswalks and all. Is that what you would prefer to do? Mr. Delguyd stated, he's saying sinee we are already putting in the bulk of the sidewalk, just finish it off. Just do the whole project. Mr. DiFranco stated, I understand the signaling issue is an additional cost, but you have the contractor out now. Mr. Cappello stated, I will be honest with you. At this point, he's paved all the Highland Road wallc today. He's going to finish the last section that goes back to connect to the trail and then he's done. Mr. Metzung added, it has to be engineered. Mr. Cappello agreed. It's not like I can just sit there and have them finish it. They have to lay it out and make sure everything goes well.

My understandi.ng is, the last I heard, he was okay with it, but he is going to be a customer that you are going to have to treat with kid gloves. Mr. DiFranco understood. He's given me verbal okay to speak on his behalf. T'he other neighbor, I had a conversation with him. Mr. Metzung stated, we would have to deal with the Tirgan properiy as it is referred to. We will be in the right of way, but this takes several months. Council President Buckholtz asked, I heard you say Tommy that this is something that is scheduled for next year potentially? Mr. Cappello replied, we talked about budgeting money and to do it next year. We do plan it. It's something we are not against. We would like to do it. I think it can be done early next year, in the Spring probably. Mr. DiFranco stated, there is a lot of traffic that comes down Highland Road, bike traffic and foot traffic. The majority of the traffic right now, not knowing if they are going to use the tunnel or not, goes a11 the way to 91. I see a lot of traffic bypass the tunnel. I thuik because it's kind of wooded back there and they are looking to get on to the mai.n bike path on 91 and then continue on to the
