Miscellaneous Meeting

We held an additional meeting at this time to try and talk with those who had more to say or who we hadn't had a chance to meet with yet.

Attendees:

Darrin Edson

Paul Dick

Anastasia Brown

Known Trail/Route Conflicts

·        Popular lunch loop on east side of campus includes Tanana Loop Road and bike path to east of road.  This separated bike path on the east of Tanana Loop is currently serving as shuttle route to Taku. If this remains a shuttle route, a separated path should be provided

Opportunities

·        “Roll” walking trails in winter creates hard walking surface and allows maintenance to not plow

·        Metal grating on stairs, so far it is easiest material for stair maintenance

·        When Wood Center becomes dining hall, hopefully less traffic will be going down Suicide Hill from MBS (current route from MBS to Lola Tilly is popular route)

·        Biathlon/archery loop, includes trail from Ballaine Lake Rifle Road

·        Trails south of CCHRC are in generally good shape, drivable in summer months, do have poor soils

Side Notes

·        Roller Ski loop would work well around perimeter of fields, but would not provide desired grade change for training

·        UAF Maintenance sweeps bike path along Parks Highway out to Ester and bike path along Farmers Loop
