1. I push my son in a stroller while walking my dog and would love to have more sidewalks and <br />safe places to walk along busy roads. We become a little isolated when I can't push my sons <br />stroller to many places because we would have to be on busy roads with no sidewalk. It's <br />not worth the risk of being hit so we don't goo or we go back home and drive somewhere <br />that is close enough where we could have walked. <br /> <br />2. Streets are streets, sidewalks where it makes sense, but unless you're planning on creating a <br />golf cart community, don't you dare start thinking about taking away driving lanes for bike <br />lanes. We don't need light rail, we don't need all the planned non-sense the Met Council <br />would push. Just keep the roads in good condition and we're fine. <br /> <br />3. I live off of Meadowvale Rd on the north side of Lake Orono and that road has no bike or <br />walking accessibility. Pretty much no shoulder to walk on and you upped the speed on a <br />road that shouldn't have been. Its scary on that road to be a pedestrian or on your bike. My <br />kid wanted nothing more than to ride bike to school and we said no way because he'd have <br />to be on that road to get to the paved path which you have on the other side of the railroad <br />tracks. Would be nice to have a better trail to that paved one and something better to get to <br />the paved trail you have on Hwy 10. <br /> <br />4. The frequency of use is for when the bike trails are not snow covered. <br /> <br />5. Completely support biking and walking trails! We have so many awesome parks, and trails, it <br />would be fantastic to be able to get to them safely without having to drive! Any chance you <br />can put a bike trail next to the railroad tracks from Big Lake to Ramsey? Think of what that <br />alone would connect, so many people would be able to access the center of town, trails to <br />parks and the NorthStar! <br /> <br />6. Please provide a trail/sidewalk connection from the neighborhood behind Coborns to Trout <br />Brook. You have to walk/bike along Twin Lakes Road or Tyler Street which does not have <br />a trail/sidewalk between 193rd Ave and Twin Lakes Parkway. <br /> <br />7. We have a short bike path in our neighborhood that is heavily used. It would be nice if it <br />connected to other bike paths or sidewalks. The streets in our neighborhood are curved and <br />have hills. Some houses purposefully park cars in the street in what appears to be an attempt <br />to get people to slow down, this puts bikes and pedestrians farther into the road making it <br />unsafe. <br /> <br />8. I can get to paved trails but have to go on busy county road to get to them first. also <br />difficult to navigate downtown due to not legal to be on sidewalk but very dangerous on <br />street with parked cars etc. you almost have to use the sidewalk to be safe <br /> <br />9. There are paved bike/walking trails that end at the frontage road on Hwy 10 west. Would <br />be nice if these continued west to at least County Road 15. We have to bike along the <br />
