Lake Johanna Boulevard Roadway and Trail Design Study Round 2 Engagement Summary – March 2022 x Like this option – separated from roadway, connects to rest of proposed trails, more scenic. x Need for improvements to crosswalk here. x Support of the trail being further from the road (unconstrained option) but concerned about flooding; prefer trail to be the same level as road for this reason. South side concept x More support for this option than north side option – wouldn’t require as much modification as north side, already heavily used by parkgoers and residents. x This concept would be of benefit to both park users and neighbors to the east. o If needed, residents could utilize parking lots and walk to their houses on the trail. Tony Schmidt Park to Siems Court North side concept x Concern about where families on the east side would cross. x Prefer this option because it’s more scenic and the south side has too many driveway crossings, causes safety concerns for bikers and pedestrians. South side concept x Although there are many driveways on this side, feel that it makes sense to have it on the south so residents don’t have to cross the street to use the trail. x Mixed feedback about need for parking along this stretch. o Some feel parking is needed because boat parking overflows from Tony Schmidt Regional Park. o Some feel there shouldn’t be parking unless safely separated from trail; current parked cars are a major hazard. Siems Court to Old Snelling Avenue North side concept x Feel that having a crossing at Siems Court makes the most sense, better visibility from both directions. x No need for crossing at Ridgeway Road right after the intersection, prefer a sidewalk to the intersection instead. South side concept x Mixed feedback about this option. o Some prefer the trail on the east/south side of the road to limit crossing. o Concern that this option would impact houses more.
