Trail Adjacent to Road with Curb - This would require that the pavement on the road be replaced. <br />The existing pavement does not have enough grade (north to south) to allow curb to be placed along <br />side it with out significant changes to the grade (meaning we'd need to replace the pavement). This <br />option is less intrusive to people's yards, allows for better storm water management because there is <br />more room for ditches and may allow city plow trucks to clear it in the winter. <br />2. Trail off road at edge of right-of-way with ditch between road and trail- This option does not <br />require any street work to be done now or in the future. You'll notice that our rendering says that <br />with this option, the road would need to be shifted 4 feet to the west, but I think with some creative <br />ditch and storm sewer work we could avoid this and simply put the trail in the boulevard without <br />touching the road. This option will feel quite a bit more intrusive to people, as the trail will be in <br />what they probably view as their "front yard". It will also require more ditch and storm sewer <br />modifications as the distance between the edge of road and trail will make for a narrow ditch. <br /> <br />We are comfortable with either option since they both offer a safe alternative for pedestrians and bicyclists. <br /> <br />Mark Statz, PE <br />Associate <br />Tel 651-604-4709 <br />Cell 651-775-5126 <br />ma rk.statz@bonestroo.com <br /> <br />.t~ Bonestroo <br /> <br />2335 Highway 36 W <br />St. Paul, MN 55113 <br />Tel 651-636-4600 <br />Fax 651-636-1311 <br />www.bonestroo.com <br /> <br />CONFIDENTIAliTY NOTICE: The information contained in this e-mail communication and any attached documentation may be privileged, <br />confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure and is Intended only for the use of the designated recipient(s).
