Lake Johanna Boulevard Roadway and Trail Design Study <br />Round 3 Engagement Summary – July/August 2022 <br /> <br />x Like safety considerations – <br />crosswalks, sidewalks, medians. <br />x Like the inclusion of Tony <br />Schmidt Park. <br />x Questions about the following: <br />o Property taxes. <br />o Parking impacts. <br />o Whether Arden Hills is <br />prioritizing this trail <br />project. <br />o Solutions in the short <br />term (e.g., rumble <br />strips, visible <br />crosswalks, enforced <br />speeding and parking <br />rules). <br />o Stormwater <br />management and <br />preventing erosion of the lakeshore. <br />o Tools to help community members support and advance this project. <br />ONLINE SURVEY RESULTS <br />Responses to the two open-ended survey questions are summarized below: <br />What do you like and dislike about the refined trail design concepts? <br />x General support for the project and that it addresses some major safety concerns. <br />x Some mixed feedback about trail location: <br />o Some agree that the west/north trail option is the best option. <br />o Some prefer for a trail closer to the lake when possible – particularly from Stowe Ave to <br />County Road E. <br />x Several respondents mentioned that they like the following about the refined trail design: <br />o The road narrowing and bump outs as cues for drivers to reduce speeds as well as make <br />pedestrians more visible at crossings. <br />o That the shoulders are designed to stop drivers from passing on the shoulder. <br />o The boulevard between the trail and the road as a buffer. <br />o The inclusion of on-street parking. <br />o That the plan uses the existing road width and does not take property from either side. <br />o Stormwater considerations. <br />x Mixed feedback about trail width: <br />o Some would like a 10 foot trail width to allow for safe shared use of the trail. <br />Figure 2..
