<br /> <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” <br />path (per MnDOT Bikeway Facility Design Guide – see <br />5-4 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 <br />Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). <br /> <br /> Past RCC (fka TCAAP) Precedence: <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. See figure 2 for details. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item #2: Street Lighting along Rice Creek Boulevard <br />Introduction Statement: The TRC’s guidance, as currently written, would either direct the design to <br />include no lighting along Rice Creek Boulevard or alternatively, if lighting is provided, it is required to be <br />at a spacing (40-ft) that is much closer than is typical or desirable for this type of road. The requested <br />amendment would enable appropriate spacing of lighting. <br /> <br />FIGURE 1 <br />FIGURE 2
