PLANNING PROCESSINTRODUCTION SERVICE AREA VISION PARK PLANS IMPLEMENTATION <br />EAST OF THE RIVER PARK MASTER PLAN <br />OPERATIONS AND <br />MAINTENANCE <br />TOWERSIDE DISTRICT <br />In the preferred concept, trail users can remain on 4th over to <br />Malcolm (Section C and Section D) where they will head north <br />to a bridge over the railyard. All modes can use this route, <br />including bikes, pedestrians, and automobiles. A secondary <br />route for the regional trail facility is to move it through the <br />Towerside District. Additional coordination is needed with <br />MetroTransit and the UofM to determine the preferred <br />crossing for the LRT tracks and the UofM Transitway. In order <br />to maximize the trail presence in the emerging Towerside <br />District north of the Transitway, MPRB is committed to <br />a study of crossing the transitway at 27th Avenue SE and <br />29th Avenue SE that would include potential traffic control <br />devices to regulate trail user access across the transitway <br />and to prioritize UofM Transitway buses. MPRB supports <br />the relocation of the Transitway as long term solution for <br />improved trail and parkway connections across the district, <br />and would be interested in exploring a repurposing of the <br />transitway as a parkway and regional trail if the opportunity <br />arises. Finding a way to move the regional trail through the <br />heart of the district will provide a backbone of parkland that <br />will be a foundation for innovation in line with the Towerside <br />vision. The UofM has expressed support for crossing the <br />Transitway at 27th Avenue SE, but this would require a <br />crossing of the LRT tracks, which the 29th Avenue SE crossing <br />would not entail. <br /> <br />SECTION C: SE 4th St and Malcolm Ave SE (Use New Construction; On-Street Bike Lanes) <br />SCALE: 1/8”=1’ <br />0 8’6’2’4’ <br />PROPOSED <br />EXISTING <br />6’ <br />6’ <br />6’ <br />6’ <br />6’ <br />6’ <br />5’ <br />5’ <br />8’ <br />8’ <br />8’ <br />8’ <br />8’ <br />8’ <br />7’ <br />7’ <br />10’ <br />10’ <br />10’ <br />10’ <br />BOULE- <br />VARD <br />BOULE- <br />VARD <br />BOULE- <br />VARD <br />BOULE- <br />VARD <br />SIDEWALK <br />SIDEWALK <br />SIDEWALK <br />SIDEWALK <br />LANE <br />LANE <br />BIKE <br />BIKE <br />BIKE <br />BIKE <br />PARKING <br />PARKING <br />PARKING <br />PARKING <br />LANE <br />LANE <br />CL <br />CL <br />SECTION C: SE 4TH ST AND MALCOLM AVE SE (USE NEW CONSTRUCTION; ON-STREET BIKE LANES) <br />PROPOSED <br />EXISTING <br />SECTION KEY <br />C <br />SE 4 <br />T <br />H <br /> <br />S <br />T <br />UNI <br />V <br />E <br />R <br />S <br />I <br />T <br />Y <br /> <br />A <br />V <br />E <br /> <br />S <br />E <br />266
