Known Trail/Route Conflicts
·
Terrain Park expansion and existing E-W cut
through trail
·
Lookout Point Crossing
·
Suicide Hill – all uses (especially access to
Patty Center)
·
Snow Storage at Observation Point
·
Railroad Right-of-Way near Sheep Creek Road and
Farm
·
Roundabout creates user conflicts, suggest
better designated crossings
Opportunities
·
Terrain
Park is a campus and community amenity that draws users to campus
·
Zipline
and/or aerial tram would be a fun amenity for campus to consider
·
Himalaya Trail (trail network north of Patty Center
and SRC) is the main green (or natural) area within the main campus and people
love the character of it and enjoy using it. This character should be
maintained.
·
E/W Trails near Terrain Park could take advantage of
previously cleared utilidors
Side Notes
·
Stairs should be covered or constructed of metal
grating. Tundra mats may be an option for some trail construction.
·
How snow is plowed/stored needs to be considered with
any proposed trail upgrades
·
Commuter Trail (north of Farm, extended from Sheep
Creek Road to Lookout Point parking) is terrible at break up. This trail is constructed in an existing
drainage ditch.
·
Trail grooming needs to be considered for skiers vs.
bikers vs. walkers.
·
‘Obstacles’ found in Himalaya Trail area can
sometimes be considered fun, for some users
·
Terrain Park needs a defined perimeter, 4 days/week,
hours are about 12-4pm.
·
A second climbing tower is planned for the future
·
Many cyclists prefer road riding to sidewalks, safer
for them as they are more visible to vehicles
