Additionally, during previous discussions with the City of Minnetonka, staff learned that a future project is planned to extend a bicycle\/pedestrian facility along the west side of Hopkins Crossroad north of Highway 7 to Minnetonka Boulevard. In addition to these future projects, staff reviewed impacts along the corridor, analyzed driveway and street crossings, completed an on-street parking count, and determined that the impacts were fairly equal whether the bicycle facility was constructed on either side of 17th Avenue. Given the benefits of connecting to future infrastructure, the bicycle facility is proposed along the west side of 17th Avenue.\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Inner panel End -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Inner panel Start -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsm_panel wpsm_panel-default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsm_panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <h4 class=\"wpsm_panel-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a  class=\"collapsed\"  data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#wpsm_accordion_1252 \" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-target=\"#ac_1252_collapse4\" onclick=\"do_resize()\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ac_open_cl_icon fa fa-plus\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ac_title_class\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4.

The buffer consists of visual and detectable markings delineating the boundary. During the development of concepts, a boulevard was considered between the sidewalk and cycle track, with the cycle track being located against the back of the roadway curb. This was deemed problematic for winter maintenance by city staff, and also would require street lighting to be located closer to homes. As the project progresses, refinements may be made to further increase the buffer between the sidewalk and the cycle track where it is helpful to reduce project impacts and retains an ability to facilitate proper winter maintenance.\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Inner panel End -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Inner panel Start -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsm_panel wpsm_panel-default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsm_panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <h4 class=\"wpsm_panel-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a  class=\"collapsed\"  data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#wpsm_accordion_1252 \" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-target=\"#ac_1252_collapse5\" onclick=\"do_resize()\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ac_open_cl_icon fa fa-plus\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ac_title_class\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5.
