SECTION D: <br />Description: This section is located along the westerly side of Jackson Street. We suggest <br />placing the trail along the existing foot path between stations 5 +50 and 10 +50 <br />(approximately between East Rose Place and Lake Street). As such the trail would be <br />above the road grade several feet and separated from the road with a significant boulevard. <br />Significant issues: May need a permit from C P Rail. Perhaps the trees and brush between <br />the trail and the road should be removed to make the trail visible from the road for security <br />reasons. <br />Advantages: Good separation of pedestrians and vehicles. Room for snow storage. <br />Minimizes grading, retaining wall construction and associated costs. <br />Disadvantages: Steep slope between trail and road. Some loss of trees and brush. <br />SEGMENT 2 <br />Description: This segment provides trail continuity within the Lake Shore Avenue / Old Co. <br />Rd. C right -of -way. <br />Significant issues: Listed as follows: <br />1. Trees, power poles and landscaping will be disturbed. <br />2. Which side of the road to locate the trail / walk? <br />3. Is this segment "redundant" to Sections B and C of Segment 1? If this segment is <br />constructed is there still a need for Segment 1, Sections B and C? <br />Advantages: Two minor advantages exist. One is it provides access to the trail to <br />residential properties not abutting Segment 1, Sections B and C. The other is that this <br />segment provides trail / walk continuity within the street right -of- way which may have some <br />advantages over routing the trail through Australian and the off road easement of Section <br />C. <br />Disadvantages: Compared to Segment 1, Sections B and C, this route is more expensive <br />and there are more difficult yard and landscape issues to deal with. <br />SEGMENT 3 <br />Description: This segment provides access to Savage Lake. <br />Significant issues: Do the benefits justify the expense? <br />Advantages: Provides access to Savage Lake. <br />Disadvantages: None apparent other than cost to benefit consideration. <br />Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Assoc., Inc.
