<br /> <br /> <br />130th St Trail Extension Feasibility <br />City of Hugo, Minnesota <br />WSB Project No. R-013720-000 Page 9 <br />3.4 Preliminary Design <br />Preliminary design options explored for the trail along 130th St N included: <br />• Separated trail on north side of 130th St N <br />• Separated trail on south side of 130th St N <br />The option for a separated trail on the south side of 130th St N was initially <br />reviewed and eliminated early in the process primarily because two additional <br />pedestrian crossings over 130th St N would be necessary, one of which would be <br />located at the intersection of 130th St N and Hwy 61 across four lanes of traffic, <br />posing safety concerns and the additional cost of an added pedestrian activation <br />signal. This alignment would also have added one pedestrian crossing over <br />Farnham Ave N where there are safety concerns with pedestrians coming in <br />conflict with current truck traffic turning movements at Farnham Ave. Additional <br />concerns include several wide business approaches through the R.O.W locations <br />and little to no R.O.W. west of the railroad tracks where the road lanes are <br />widened. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
