Title
Request from Traffic Engineering to Widen Sidewalk along Mineral Point Road into Nautilus Point Park
Body
The sidewalk at Mineral Point Rd and Nautilus Point Park has been recommended by the Transportation Committee and the Common Council for widening into the park for approximately 350 feet instead of into the right-of-way. This alignment preserves 7 high value Honey Locust terrace trees. This project is part of a larger project to widen the sidewalk along Mineral Point Rd to add space for people biking. The previous facility was a shared bus/bike lane but with the shift of the bus lane to the center travel lane a safe option was needed to continue to facilitate bike access in this corridor.
