Beets. Neal F ro m: Bloom, Deb Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 1:32 PM To: Beets, Neal cc: Schwartz, Duane Subject: RE: Co Rd C task force The Taskforce felt that the Multi-use pathway along the south side of County Road C was sufficient for bicycle facilitites on this section of roadway. In addition, the need for a bicycle facility on the road was not mentioned during the public meeting. However, the inclusion of a sidewalk along the north ROW of County Road C was brought up as a need. According to Mn/DOT5 Minnesota Bicycle Transportation Planning and Design Guidelines Manual: On road bicycle facilities for County Road C in the West Commercial Industrial Area would need to be 5 feet wide. One bike lane in each direction would widen the street cross section by 10 feet all along the corridor. With this widening, there are so me areas that would need retaining wall construction. Because there is railroad ROW on the south side of this corridor the only opportunity to expand the existing ROW is to the north. The current ROW plan identifies 11 to 13 feet of ROW to be purchased along 800 of the corridor. Widening the cross section of the street design an additional 10 feet would require the purchase of 12 to 15 more feet of ROW throughout the corridor. Bringing the total ROW needs for the project up to 23 to 28 feet from 800 of the corridor. Impacts to existing businesses on the corridor (assuming an additional 12 feet of ROW): - The removal and redesign of a portion of the Byerly's Parking lot in two areas. -The Tile shop setback would decrease from 33 ft to 21 ft. -Decrease the setback for Twin Lakes Medical Building from 35 ft to 23 ft. -The parking lots at 1743, 1755, 1947, 2001, 2019- 2025, 2031-2035 and 2660-2680 would all have parking spaces or circulation eliminated because of the additional ROW purchase. ;1743 and 1755 will have impacts with the current design as well) For these reasons, the County is not including bike lanes in the Phase I- Street reconstruction project. -----Original Message----- From: Beets, Neal Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 4:47 PM To: Schwartz, Duane; Bloom, Deb Subject: FW: Co Rd C task force Fyi.
