<br />Victoria Street Roadway & Trail Conceptual Design Study | Study Report - DRAFT | PAGE 15 <br /> <br />• 8820.9995 Minimum Off-Road and Shared Use Path Standards. <br />• 8820.9936 Minimum Design Standards, Urban; New or Reconstruction Projects. <br />• 8820.9920 Minimum Design Standards; Rural and Suburban Undivided; New Or Reconstruction <br />Projects. <br />Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Requirements <br />While the purpose of this study was not to develop detailed roadway designs for Victoria Street, the <br />transportation needs of people with disabilities were considered in the development of concepts. All future <br />project designs along with the final constructed project will comply with all applicable ADA standards. <br />Figure 9: Level of Traffic Stress <br /> Source: MnDOT Bicycle Facility Design Manual <br />New Facility – Desired Characteristics <br />Based on the project goals, applicable guidance and design standards, the project team determined that <br />a new bicycle and pedestrian facility for Victoria Street should be consistent with the Ramsey County All <br />Abilities Transportation Network Policy and reflect LTS 1. A typical LTS 1 facility in a suburban context is <br />a fully separated trail, sometimes called a shared use path or sidepath. Based on applicable MnDOT <br />State Aid standards, a ten-foot trail width is recommended, with an acceptable eight-foot minimum. <br />Phased Implementation <br />While this study developed a complete corridor vision, full reconstruction of Victoria Street is not planned <br />for the near term. Ramsey County does not have funding identified for a full reconstruct of Victoria Street.
