Additionally, there is a significant grade difference between this property and the intersection with the on-ramp. The existing conditions north of the on-ramp are also less than ideal for bikes and pedestrians. Ideally the shared use path would need to be in MDT ROW and the interstate bridge needs improvements to better accommodate bikes and pedestrians. Given the design constraints the city will drop the comment for the shared use path along the N 19th frontage.The attached sidewalk installed with the MDT project is adequate for this project. Keep in mind the city is still requiring a shared use path connection to the southeast pedestrian ramps at 19th and Valley Center. We are also requiring a sidewalk connection to the northeast pedestrian ramps at 19th and Valley Center as you have shown. You will need to work with MDT to install this connection since it's in MDT ROW. t ------ PHASE 2 LOT 1 A ` I [UP TO) 180 ROOM HOTEL TRACT 238 F 85 �; rwsnrG cuvrnrro ncunr IIr 1 • rrno�cn soEwua I `` ` ♦• sa art nrw uv roawusc • i srui wnm+ �, f m` - ••••• uror:nwr we - - • -- -_-� - --_ ------ ------ ------- ------------- I ; For future reference the city has generally been requiring a 25-foot-wide trail corridor easement for shared use path located outside the ROW and we have a standard template for the easement. For shared use path located in MDT ROW there would need to be some sort of maintenance agreement for the facility.The city cannot grant easement within MDT ROW, you would need to talk to MDT about how to accommodate maintenance. I believe the city has been working with MDT on a city-wide agreement for these situations.
