There are <br />opportunities to build on residents' excitement and connect to the <br />multiple bicycle facilities that end at the Saint Anthony Village <br />border. <br />Ten people attended the bike audit, including seven members of <br />the community and/or Local Planning Team and three members of <br />the MnDOT/consultant team. In general, participants noted feeling <br />more comfortable biking on roadways with wider shoulders or <br />lower traffic volumes and appreciated wide curb ramps where they <br />had to transition between biking in the road and on the sidewalk. <br />Participants felt the least comfortable where traffic volumes were <br />higher and/or there was not enough room for vehicles to <br />comfortably pass, as well as intersections with long crossing <br />distances or misaligned curb ramps. <br />BIKE AUDIT <br />Silver Lake Road Northeast <br />This north-south corridor is a walking route to <br />school, with many students using the <br />sidewalk. There is a perception that recent <br />speed limit changes may have helped reduce <br />speeding. Community members noted that <br />the curb extensions and parking result in <br />inconsistent space and uncomfortable <br />conditions biking along Silver Lake Road <br />Northeast. <br />Silver Lake Road Northeast & 29th <br />Avenue Northeast <br />Silver Point Park to the east on 29th Avenue <br />Northeast is a popular destination for <br />community members. The four-way stop <br />makes this intersection a preferred location to <br />cross Silver Lake Road Northeast. The four- <br />way stop has eight lanes entering the <br />intersection and is congested during peak <br />travel times. The long crossing distances and <br />number of lanes create uncomfortable <br />crossing conditions for people biking across. <br />KEY FINDINGS
