The Friends of Granger Paths, in cooperation with St. Joseph County, is constructing Phase IA <br />of the Adams Road trail project. This is the first phase of a multi -phase trails project. Phase <br />IA involves the construction of approximately 0.8 miles pathway from Elm Road to Cherry <br />Road. The planned Granger Path system includes 21 miles of pathway. <br />2. The preliminary Route Study was introduced to explain why Phase IA is being located on the <br />North Side of Adams Road. <br />a. Phase IA (Elm to Cherry) and subsequent phases along Adams Road were evaluated as <br />part of the Route Study <br />b. It was revealed that the preferred side of Adams Road was the north side due to: <br />C Safety considerations <br />❑ Cost estimates of resolving design conflicts <br />c. Cultural resources, including a cemetery, would be impacted in future phases with a <br />route on the south side of Adams Road. <br />3. The original proposed design was discussed. The design standards for multi -use trails were <br />introduced. Unlike a sidewalk, multi -use trails are intended for multi -directional bicycle use; <br />therefore safety considerations require that they be a minimum of 8 feet in width, but 10 -foot <br />wide paths are preferred. <br />4.
