Hanover Parkway Shared-Use Path Design

Asked for details on the steep slopes near the stormwater pond — their grade and how the design keeps the path ADA-compliant.

A veteran cyclist (5,000+ rides on the corridor) supported the project and its e-bike/scooter benefits, but flagged that path users must yield to vehicles at every intersecting driveway and road.

APB Vice Chair called the project thoughtful and fruitful, suggested creative drainage-integrated retaining wall design, and tied it to future housing and improvements at Greenway Center.

Suggested public art on the retaining wall (otherwise it invites graffiti), raised chronic drainage and ice problems, and asked that the existing west-side path be renovated and widened while crews are there.

Argued the long block between Greenbelt Road and Ora Glen needs a recognized crossing — pedestrians already use an informal 'natural pathway' behind Safeway, and a fatality has occurred there.

A frequent cyclist from Plateau Place thanked the Council for the project but raised safety concerns about the six-inch curb separating the path from fast traffic.
