• <br /> TO: PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION <br /> DATE: MARCH 6, 1995 <br /> SUBJECT: BIKELANES <br /> I spoke with Police Chief Ramacher and shared the Commissions <br /> thoughts about starting bikelanes with the short section of <br /> Edgewood Dr. between County Road H and County Road H2 . He does <br /> not think that that is a good road to begin with for these <br /> reasons: <br /> * Edgewood School often needs to use both sides of Edgewood <br /> Dr. for parking during school events. <br /> * Edgewood Dr. is not a heavy "bike-use" road. <br /> * He thinks that residents will not be in favor of No Parking <br /> on one side of Edgewood Dr. <br /> • Police Chief Ramacher believes that Hillview Road would be a <br /> better choice. The areas along Hillview Road from Red Oak Dr. to <br /> Long Lake Road and continuing from Long Lake Road to Oakwood Park <br /> are more widely traveled by bicyclists and leads to parks and two <br /> off-street trailway corridors including Long Lake Road and Quincy <br /> Street. Hillview Road is wide and has the parking stripes already <br /> lined on both sides. Hillview Road is in pretty good condition. <br /> Perhaps the Commission wishes to reconsider the choice for a <br /> trial bikelane. I have included the parking ordinance in the <br /> packet. Once a recommendation can be agreed upon, the Commission <br /> will need to approach the City Council with the approval to <br /> pursue changing the parking ordinance. <br /> Budgetary factors must be weighed also. The estimated $80 . 00 <br /> cost per bikelanes sign will need to be considered. <br /> • <br />
