UPDATE
Proposed Pathways Master Plan Amendments
December 9, 2009
The Parks & Recreation Commission recommends the following changes to the Meridian
Pathways Master Plan for consideration by the Mayor and City Council:
A. CINDER ROAD/EAGLE ISLAND
Revise the narrative description for the Linder Road/Eagle Island Connector Pathway,
Section A, as follows:
Providing a connection to Eagle Island and the Greenbelt is vitally important for
bicyclists of all skill levels. The recommended connection is a combination on-
street facility and separated pathway along Linder from south of I-84 to the Eagle
Island entrance off Linder. The pathway will begin on the west side of Linder
south of I-84, continue with a physically separated connection over the interstate
and proceed north to Franklin. From Franklin, +~ r a striped, on-street bike
lane will extend north to Chateau on both sides of the roadway.
*~-~~•° ° °~*~°~ ~~-'° °~T ~~a°~ D~°a North of Chateau to Eagle Island ~e a
se arp ated pathway will proceed along the east side of the roadway. Pending
roadway design, the bike lane will likely continue in addition to the separated
pathway north of Chateau.
Revise the maps on page 4-3 ("Pathway Network Map") and 4-22 ("Linder Road/Eagle
Island Pathway") as shown in Exhibit 1.
B. LOCHSA FALLSBEROES PARK
Revise the maps on page 4-3 ("Pathway Network Map") and 4-24 ("Meridian Loop
Pathway") as shown in Exhibit 2.
The narrative description of the Meridian Loop Pathway, Section C (Meridian -Linder),
states the following:
"This pathway segment is completed. There is a short on-street segment
connecting from Lochsa Falls to Heroes Park."
A revision to the narrative is therefore not necessary.
C. FULLER PARK TO TEN MILE
Revise the map on page 4-3 ("Pathway Network Map") as shown in Exhibit 3.
D. DOWNTOWN/E. 3RD STREET
Revise the map on page 4-3 ("Pathway Network Map") as shown in Exhibit 4.
E. RIVER PLANNING AREA
Revise the map on page 4-2 ("Pathway Network Map") as shown in Exhibit S.
