Enclosed is an exhibit showing the location of the potential pedestrian r <br /> trail connection corridor,as well as amenities this trail would provide more convenient access to. <br /> During the Riverstone South development process,the City surveyed Bowers Drive residents to see if they <br /> supported construction of a public road connection,a Public Safety and Public works maintenance <br /> connection,or no second connection to Bowers Drive at all. The results of that survey demonstrated that <br /> Bowers Drive residents did not support a second connection between Bowers Drive and the new Riverstone <br /> South development. At the time,the City Council voted to not construct a second access road. However,it <br /> was also decided that this topic should be explored again if/when a future opportunity presented itself. <br /> In 2024,Bowers Drive is proposed to receive pavement overlay improvements-with 2024 Neighborhood � <br /> Pavement Overlays,Improvement Project#24-07,and a paved trail connection could be cost-effectively <br /> constructed as part of this project. Staff will therefore share the results of this survey with the City Council <br /> while discussing whether to add a pedestrian trail connection to the project. if a trail connection were to be <br /> constructed,there would be no direct cost to local residents. <br /> Property owner Contact Information <br /> y <br /> The City requests that only one response be submitted per property receiving this survey,and that the name <br /> and address of the respondent be provided below. <br /> Property owner Name. <br /> p � <br /> er Prvp ty Address.• <br /> Survey Question <br /> For purposes of pedestrian connectivity to area amenities,do you support a second access to Bowers Drive? y <br /> YES,1 support a paved pedestrian trail connection. <br /> No,l do not support a paved pedestrian trail connection. <br /> Comments: <br /> Y' <br /> I am FOR the new path.Being that Bowers is the longest dead end road in the city a path allows second <br /> y, <br /> access point for public works,Fire,Police and EMS for emergency response and situations. Bowers is a <br /> dangerous road for kids. Because the road is narrow this does not leave much room to ride bikes,scooters, <br /> walk pets,ect... There are also many blind spots and most of the traffic travels faster than the posted speed <br /> limit.we want the path far easier and safer access to the paths and trail system as well as access for our kids <br /> to use the new park. <br /> would like to see a privacy fence or privacy landscaping for those who live adjacent to the path. ` <br /> It is our inission to work together to responsibly grow our conitnunity,and to provide quality,cost-effective and efficient governn..tent <br /> 3 <br /> services, <br /> si <br /> C <br />
