Lake Johanna Boulevard Roadway and Trail Design Study Round 2 Engagement Summary – March 2022 o Ensure the trail is plowed for all-season use. x Consider making the path 6 – 8’ instead of 10’ in the pinch points around the lake. x General support for this project and encouraging community involvement. ONLINE SURVEY RESULTS A snapshot of the online survey results is displayed on the next page. Responses to the open-ended survey questions are summarized below: There are multiple options for each of the segments shown on the interactive map. What opportunities do you see with each option presented? What are your concerns with them? x A few support having the trail on the east side between County Road D and Tony Schmidt Regional Park, then having the trail on the north side between Tony Schmidt Regional Park and Old Snelling Avenue. o Feel this would avoid many conflict points (e.g., parking lots at Tony Schmidt Regional Park, homeowners’ landscaping) x Some feel it would be best for the trail to stay on one side of the street to limit the number of crossings, but there’s mixed feedback about whether it should be on the west or east side. o Prefer the west side because there is greater separation between the road and trail, it seems less disruptive to private property, connects to existing trail infrastructure/ minimizes crossing. o Prefer the east side because it’s close to the lake (feel that people would walk lakeside regardless). x Concern about impacts trail could have on homeowners/private property (e.g., impacts to landscaping, bring trail to close to home). x Ensure trail is maintained during the winter. Additional comments: x Need to connect to other trails (e.g., Elmer Anderson trail, trail to the south on Fairview). x Supportive of this project – feel it’s very needed for improved pedestrian and bicyclists safety in this area.
