Surface options include concrete, wood chips and gravel. The majority of proposed trail segments will be surfaces with bituminous pavement. Using a concrete surface for all of the new segments would increase the cost of the project without providing sufficient increased benefit. Segment J, along Centerville Road (CSAH 21), will be a section of concrete sidewalk. This is necessary to match the future concrete boulevard area and existing approaches to buildings along this section of downtown. Gravel and wood chip surfaces, while low in cost, require substantially higher maintenance than bituminous surface. These options were therefore not selected. Location Alternatives Since segments of the trail system currently exist, constructing the trails in new locations would leave the existing portions the trail system disconnected. Aligning the trail parallel to City and county roadways will utilize existing right of way and minimize SEE impacts. Preferred Alternative The City of Centerville is proposing to construct 2.5 miles of pedestrian/bicycle trail linkages with appurtenances at the following locations. The Segment description letters refer to the TE Trail Grant Project Scope map in Appendix A: 1. Mill Road from Main Street (CSAH 14) to Peltier Lake Drive (Segment E) 2. Off road from Main Street (CSAH 14) to Heritage Street and east on Heritage Street (Segment H) 3. Sorel Street from Goiffon Road to Dupre Road (Segment I) 4. Centerville Road (CSAH 21) from Meadow Lane to Westview Street (Segment J) 5. Off road from Centerville Road (CSAH 21) to Lamotte Drive and connecting to existing trails within Lamotte Park (Segment K) 6. Off road from existing trail near Eagle Trail to Main Street (CSAH 14) with a new pedestrian bridge crossing the Clearwater Creek (Segment L) 7. 20th Avenue (CSAH 54) from a point south of Center Street to Main Street (CSAH 14) (Segment Pl. This segment also will have an off road spur from 20th Avenue (CSAH 54), west to Eagle Trail. 8. Off road from existing trail south of Center Street to 20th Avenue (CSAH 54) (Segment Q) Two trail segments, P and Q, may vary slightly from the alignment shown to minimize right of way or Wetland impacts. The exact alignment of these segments will be determined during the final design process. The worst case for each route has been included in the preliminary determination of impacts. All new trail segments, except Segment J along Centerville Road (CSAH 21), will be a bituminous trail with a minimum width of eight feet and will have two foot clear zones on either side. Segment J along Centerville Road (CSAH 21), will be a six foot concrete walk.
