Ryan Streff October 4, 2013 <br />City of Arden Hills Page 15 <br />Pedestrian/Bicyclist Facilities <br />Although shuttle service will be provided between the two campuses, there is the potential that <br />students/employees may prefer to walk or bike. Since the campuses are located approximately one <br />and one-half miles apart (via existing pedestrian/bicyclist faci <br />campuses is expected to be approximately 15 to 25 minutes and less if biking. Given this <br />information, review of the existing pedestrian/bicyclist facilities was completed, which is illustrated <br />on Figure 6. <br />Review of the existing pedestrian/bicyclist facilities between the two campuses indicates that there is <br />a variety of facilities within the area. The facilities include sidewalks, multi-use trails, and on-street <br />shoulder areas that are greater than six feet in width, which are considered relatively <br />pedestrian/bicyclist friendly. It should be noted that this assumes that bicyclists could utilize the <br />sidewalk, if desired. However, there are also multiple gaps (i. <br />pedestrian/bicyclist system which likely limits activity in the area, particularly along Old Snelling. <br />If these areas were to be improved, more pedestrians/bicyclists would be expected to util <br />facilities. The type of improvements that could be implemented to improve connectivity include <br />multi-use trails, sidewalks, and/or shoulder expansion. <br />In addition to identifying current gaps in the system, alternati <br />were developed. The intent of the alternatives, which are shown in Figure 6, is to provide a more <br />direct route between the two campuses and increase the potential for pedestrian/bicyclist activity. A <br />more direct route would be shorter and result in less travel tim <br />However, to create a more direct route would likely require furt <br />stakeholders, since several of these routes travel through and/or cross areas owned privately, by <br />MnDOT, or the railroad. In particular, crossing Snelling Avenue and the railroad appear to provide <br />the biggest challenge in developing a more direct route between the campuses. However, there are <br />multiple alternatives that would improve access to existing pede <br />County Road E that should be considered. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
