Lake Johanna Boulevard Roadway and Trail Design Study <br />Round 2 Engagement Summary – March 2022 <br /> <br />INTERACTIVE MAP RESULTS <br />The interactive map featured concept drawings of how the trail could fit and what it could look like on <br />different segments throughout the project corridor. Users could leave feedback on the concept <br />drawings or select a pin and drop it in a location along the project corridor where they wanted to <br />provide feedback. Pin categories included: concern and opportunity. Common feedback is summarized <br />by comment pin category. <br />Concept Designs <br />Overall <br />x Concern about impacts to homeowners – that trail would take property from homeowners, <br />reduce property values and create security/privacy issues. <br />County Road D to Sandeen Road <br />x Mixed feedback about preference for east or west concepts: <br />x Prefer trail on the west side – affords more space when it gets to the narrower <br />portion of the road, limits potential of accidents and disruptions to traffic due to <br />crossing. <br />x Prefer trail on the east side – feel that it respects homeowners on the west <br />side/wouldn’t take their property, feel that the trail should be on one side the <br />whole way and having it on the lake side would be more enjoyable. <br />Sandeen Road to Stowe Avenue <br />x Like that both options use the existing road width and don’t take land from homeowners on <br />either side. <br />x Need for traffic calming in this area (e.g., narrowing roadway, trees/greening in the <br />boulevard). <br />Stowe Avenue to County Road E <br />x Mixed feedback about trail preference: <br />o Some prefer the trail on the west side – better connects to trail systems (e.g, <br />around Bethel/Old Snelling Ave to Tony Schmidt Regional Park), minimizes trail <br />crossings; feel it is safer (boulevard separation). <br />o Some prefer the trail on the east side – feel it would be less expensive (steep <br />hills and landscaping on west side), wouldn’t impact homeowners as much, <br />would stabilize current shoreline, more pleasant to be on lakeside, better <br />connection to senior housing. <br />Tony Schmidt Park Area <br />North side concept
