"When trails are proposed, trails shall be constructed of bituminous with a minimum width <br />of 8-feet and minimum thickness of 3-inches with an aggregate base thickness of 6-inches." <br />MnDOT Guidance and PROWAG Requirements: <br />MnDOT's Bikeway Facility Design Guide provides <br />recommended multi -use trail widths for various <br />purposes. The manual provides a minimum of 10ft in <br />unconstrained areas for a Two -Way multi -use trail. <br />This width allows for a bicyclist traveling single file to <br />pass someone coming from the opposite direction <br />without conflict, or for two bicyclists to ride <br />comfortably side -by -side, effectively a "two-lane" path <br />(per MnDOT Bikeway Facility Design Guide —see 5-4 <br />for figure 1). <br />Additionally, A 10ft wide shared use path meets the <br />minimum width requirements for Pedestrian Access <br />Route (per ADA and Public Right -of -Way Accessibility <br />Guidelines (PROWAG)) governed under the Americans <br />with Disabilities Act (ADA). <br />Past RCC (fka TCAAP) Precedence: <br />2 ft, 5 R preferred 10-15 N 2 ft, 5 k preferred <br />EXHIBIT 51: Two Way Shared Use Path Dimensions <br />TYPICAL TWO-WAY HIGH VOLUME <br />SHARED USE PATH SHARED USE PATH­ <br />�® <br />'Constrained minimum should only be applied for short distances with <br />physical constraints <br />**Either a high volume of bicycle traffic or a high percentage of pedestrian <br />The past design plans, dated 2019, had also planned for 10ft wide multi -use trails <br />throughout the project including all Natural Resource Corridor Trails, Spine Road Trails, and <br />the Re -meander Trail under the future Bridge.
