Prior Lake City Council

Lil Leatham and Tim Solomonson
Subject: Sidewalk and Trail Study
Date:
June 2, 2014
Introduction
The City of Prior Lake sidewalk and trail system works well, but has gaps and missing segments that
hinder full use of the network. The City hired Hoisington Koegler Group to evaluate the sidewalk and trail
network and prioritize improvements. Evaluation and prioritization occurred in the Fall of 2013-Spring
2014. Needs within the City include:
A.Improved connections for biking and walking throughout the City (across the lake).
B.Elimination of trail and sidewalk gaps connecting to key destinations including regional and
community parks, retail and employment destinations, and community buildings.
Increase recreational walking and biking opportunities.
C.
Study Goal:
Prioritize sidewalk and trail improvements to enhance connectivity and safety.
Study Objectives:
Assess the condition of existing sidewalks and trails.
Identify gaps in the trail and sidewalk network.
Develop criteria to prioritize improvements.
Make recommendations for improvements (locations, cost estimates and implementation partners).
Condition Evaluation
Field evaluation of existing sidewalk and trail condition was completed in the Fall of 2013.
Sidewalks and trails were evaluated by dividing the existing sidewalks and trails into segments using
intersections with roadways, other trails, or sidewalks, or where a distinct change in surface condition
occurred to mark the beginning and end points of the segment. Each segment was then visually inspected
and the condition was documented.
Evaluation/visual inspection was documented with georeferenced photos of trail/sidewalk surface
conditions continuously along each segment. Several data points were collected at the start, approximate
mid-way point, and at the end of each segment. The visual inspection was based on pavement condition,

general accessibility, clearance, and sight distance and resulted in a condition classification of excellent,
good, average, poor, or very poor.
Pavement Condition
Pavement condition was classified on a scale of 1-5, as defined below, with 1 as the worst condition and 5
as the best:
1.Surface has significant cracking, spawling, shifting, or vegetation intrusion over the majority of the
trail surface area.
2.Surface has significant cracking, spawling, shifting, or vegetation intrusion over a moderate to
limited amount of the trail surface area.
3.Surface has moderate to minor cracking, spawling, shifting, or vegetation intrusion over the major
to moderate amount of the trail surface area.
4.Surface is mostly consistent in appearance with minor cracking, spawling, shifting, or vegetation
intrusion over a moderate to limited amount of the trail surface area.
5.Surface has limited to no visible cracking, spawling, shifting, or vegetation intrusion over the
length of the segment.
General Accessibility (width and slope)
Generally accessibility was evaluated based on trail width and slope. Sidewalk or trail width was measured
wherever a change occurred with a tape measure and rounded to the nearest foot. Areas with steep slopes
were identified by visual observation and measured using GIS topographic data provided by the City. In
order to be considered accessible to persons with disabilities, the running slope of a walk or trail is 1:20 (5
percent) or less with a cross slope no greater than 1:50 (2 percent). Areas that did not meet the width or
slope criteria below were noted.
Type Width
Minimum 3 feet wide with passing areas for accessibility. Desirable minimum width for
Trail
multi-use trails is 8 feet for low use trails and 10 feet for higher use trails.
Sidewalk 5 feet minimum
Boardwalk Minimum 3 feet wide for accessibility with minimum 5 foot desired. Presence of a side
barrier at trail level to prevent slipping.
42 inch high hand rail/guardrail when the boardwalk is more than 30 inches above
grade/water surface and at overlooks.
Clearance
Encroachments into side (min. 2 ft. side clear zone) or overhead (minimum 80 inch and desired 10 foot
overhead clearance) as well as encroachments within the trail or walk surface (signs, benches, lights,
newspaper boxes, vegetation, etc.) were noted.

Sight Distances
Any sight distance issues such as vegetation blocking an intersection, etc. or difficult turning movements,
such as sharp turns at the bottom of a downhill trail or short sight or stopping distances to a intersection,
were noted.
Sidewalk and Trail Gap Prioritization
Trail gaps were identified through the following:
Gaps identified in the 2010 Prior Lake Trail Survey
Gaps discovered during the field evaluation process
Gaps in connections to key destinations: regional and community parks, retail and employment
destinations, and community buildings.
Once identified, each gap was scored on a three point scale, 0-2 with zero being meets criteria poorly or
does not meet criteria, one being meets criteria moderately well, and two being meets criteria well for the
following criteria:
Connects existing trails and sidewalks – does the proposed trail or sidewalk gap link existing
segments of the trail and sidewalk network, how many segments does it connect, and is the new
connected trail length substantial in length?
Connects residents to key destinations – does the proposed trail or sidewalk gap connect residents to
city destinations (schools, downtown, etc.) or city resources (existing parks, trails, or lakes), how
many new connections are made?
Serves existing residential areas and/or is located primarily in the developed area of the city – does
the proposed trail or sidewalk gap link to existing residential neighborhoods, does it span more
than one?
Enhances safety – does the proposed trail or sidewalk gap improve the safety of motorists,
pedestrians, or cyclists by separating or improving their interaction along roadways and
intersections?
Increases recreational opportunities and/or creates loop trail opportunities – does the proposed trail
or sidewalk gap create new loop trail(s) or connect to existing loop trail(s)?
Trail is in below average condition or does not meeting minimum width standards – has the existing
trail or sidewalk been ranked as below average, or failed to meet slope or width standards during
the visual inspection.
Has available Right-Of-Way (ROW) – does the proposed trail or sidewalk gap fall within an existing
easement or ROW, will private property be impacted?
Is feasible and cost effective – does the proposed trail or sidewalk gap alignment pass through areas
with significant changes in topography or areas identified as wetlands or with wet soils, or have
other constraints that will affect feasibility or increased costs?
Can be coordinated with planned road improvements – does the proposed trail or sidewalk gap fall
along a roadway which has been identified for improvement in the City, County, or MNDOT
Capital Improvement Plan?
Sidewalk and Trail Evaluation and Prioritization
June 4, 2014
Page 4
Addresses an identified community need in the 2010 Prior Lake Trail Survey – does the proposed
trail or sidewalk gap address a need in the city’s trail and sidewalk network identified in the 2010
Prior Lake Trail Survey, how often is this gap mentioned?
The scores assigned for each category above are identified in the attached matrix. The score for each
category was totaled to give the prioritization score, from which the gap’s priority ranking was assigned.
The priority rankings were then reviewed by Staff and the Parks Advisory Commission.
To assist the City with allocating resources to improving the system, the gaps were classified by whether it
would likely be funded by future development; whether there are opportunities for partnerships; or whether
city funds are likely going to be the primary source for development. Cost estimates for select priority
segments have also been prepared to assist Staff with CIP planning.
