The City Manager recommended a separate workshop to discuss a street paving program using additional gas tax revenues. The Public Works Director addressed City Council on bridge repairs. The City Manager, based on input from Councilmember Halloran that instead of a separate pedestrian bridge for the Barber bridge an additional lane be added now and used as a bikepath/pedestrian walkway, suggested that the Public Works Director contact Indian River County and MPO for their best suggestion. 2 {~pecial City Council Meeting ctober 15, 1996 Page Three Mayor Cartwright noted there was nothing in the program for bikepaths and the City Manager responded that he would like to see the city establish a policy on installation ofbikepaths, noting he was not certain that what the city currently has qualify as bikepaths.

The City Manager reiterated that with the potential of additional revenues this is possible.
