Body
Preamble
The Cannonball Path Phase 5 is a critical component of the overall multi-phase Cannonball Path project, providing a safe and direct route from neighborhoods south of the Beltline to central downtown area and other destinations.
The path will occupy lands currently owned by the City of Madison, permanent easement on UW Arboretum property (to be acquired by separate agreement with UW Board of Regents) and easements to be acquired by the City of Madison under a separate Relocation Order introduced to Common Council on 1/07/14 under ID 32633.
Agreement(s) with UW Board of Regents will include both permanent and temporary construction easements granted to the City at nominal cost in recognition of the project's benefits to the UW Arboretum and will also include amendment of an existing access agreement which allows UW access over City property for maintenance of Pond 3 on Arboretum property.

1) That the plans and specifications for Cannonball Path Phase 5, be and are hereby approved.
2) That the Board of Public Works be and is hereby authorized to advertise and receive bids for said project.
