Egg Lake Road has <br />wide shoulders and a concrete on the south side that connects Goodview Ave N to Hwy 61 and <br />the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail. <br />The following outlines the project process and outcomes to -date: <br />Preliminary Options: <br />WSB looked at several options for a pedestrian route along Goodview Ave N which was broken <br />up into two segments; 145t" St N to Geneva Ave N and Geneva Ave N to Egg Lake Road. <br />The options included: <br />145t" St N to Geneva Ave N: <br />1. Elimination of widened shoulders or a separated trail as an option from 145th St N to <br />Geneva Ave N due to the high costs of implementation. A shared on -road route along <br />Goodview Ave N for this segment with Share the Road signage was provided as an <br />option for consideration <br />2. Sidewalk connection along 145t" St N from the intersection of Goodview Ave N to <br />Glenbrook Ave N to connect to existing walkways with on -street routes identified along <br />Glenbrook Ave N to Geneva Ave N south to where it meets with Goodview Ave N. <br />Geneva Ave N to Egg Lake Road: <br />1. 5-foot paved shoulders with 2-foot gravel shoulders along both sides of the roadway. <br />2. 8-foot separated bituminous trail with 5-foot buffer on the west side of the roadway only. <br />3. An optional 10' wide boardwalk to replace the bituminous trail in specific segments to <br />avoid wetland impacts. <br />K:\016114-000\Admin\Docs\016114_2020-0916_Goodview Ave Feasibility Summary.docx <br />
