Trailhead
Hi Cathy,
Clark Mapes, Mike Herzig, Sheri Wamhoff and I just met about the sidewalk issue at Trailhead. We all
agreed on the following:
-The parkways along Vine and Greenfields can be greater than 10 feet wide.
-A bow or slight meander to approach the mid -block internal ped system is acceptable.
-The following concerns should be kept in mind when redesigning:
+The sidewalk must be no more than 25' from the curb;
+The sidewalk should be positioned and detailed such that it is clear that it is a public sidewalk;
+Be mindful of nighttime safety —the sidewalk needs to be adequately lit by the streetlights;
+Be mindful of snow removal operations. We'll need to figure out who will maintain the sidewalk;
+Coordinate carefully with utilities: trees should be dimensioned on drawing from something that will
exist at the time of construction like a property line or sidewalk, no manhole covers from the storm sewer
are allowed in the sidewalk, etc.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions. I've copied Mike, Sheri and Clark so if
I've misrepresented the meeting, hopefully one of them will correct me.
