Known Trail/Route Conflicts
·
Frisbee Golf Area located within residential
area (near Hess Village and N Chandalar Drive) presents several user conflicts
such as noise, flying objects near windows and residents, night-time users
hanging out around people’s homes. Area
for golf is not well-defined.
·
N-S access between MSB and Lola Tilly is main
route between the two spots and definitely not safe for all users.
Opportunities
·
A better defined pathway for Frisbee golf users (and
encouraging them to stay on the path) might make residents feel safer
·
Alternative route between MSB and Lola Tilly might be
to cut through the Wood Center
·
Create an indoor spine like UAA
·
Make UAF a pedestrian campus.
·
Provide accessible routes where possible, with alternative
routes for others with abilities to take short cuts.
·
MSB is a hub on campus that needs better access.
·
Create a trailhead/parking area along North Tanana
for staff on east side of campus to access North Campus trails during lunch
hour
·
There is a need for lower campus dog park. Revitalize Sustainable Village ski trails,
possibly connect with Thompson Drive parking, and provide this as dog-friendly
area. Potential partnership with West
Valley High? Funding might be possible
through kiosk parking payment at Thompson Drive parking? Creating a dog friendly area gives people
currently using trails and fields on campus for dog areas a designated place to
go.
Side Notes
·
Frisbee Golf has a map, the course used to have 18 holes
and now has 9
·
Make sure there are accessible routes on campus. Not everyone is from Alaska or enjoys the
outdoors
·
Students all want a car space. They want the option to walk if they can, but
often can’t.
·
An interesting overlay would show who lives in which
dorms and how they get to their classes (e.g. sophomores, juniors, and seniors
all live in Cutler)
·
Students generally choose housing location NOT based
on class locations
·
Students love their privacy, especially in Alaska
·
Some students talk about liking ‘obstacles’, like to
brag about difficulties, the ‘tradition’ of suicide hill
