1. A PRESENTATION BY THE DISTRICT 1 COMMUNITY COUNCIL POINT DOUGLAS ROAD RECONSTRUCTION

2. POINT DOUGLAS ROAD Frontage road along Highway 61 Access points at upper end are Lower Afton Road, Springside, Highwood Avenue. Access points at the lower end are Carver Road, Bailey/Maxwell Road. At the intersection of Point Douglas and Lower Afton is entrance to lower Battle Creek Park and a Metro Transit Park and Ride. A bike route – continuation of Sam Morgan Trail – follows Point Douglas Road This project focuses on the stretch from Lower Afton to Highwood Avenue.

3. PROVIDING ACCESS TO HIGHWAY 61

4. THE PROBLEM The road is heavily damaged with potholes and broken pavement. As the only access to homes, as a bike route, as one of few access roads to Highway 61 from the neighborhoods, as a road without sidewalks, and as the access to a park and ride it is important despite low traffic numbers. Safety is a concern for pedestrians and for bicyclists.

5. THE SOLUTION Reconstruct the road in two phases beginning with the northern section Reconstruct from Lower Afton Road to Highwood Avenue Plan with pedestrians, bicyclists, resident drivers, and cut-through drivers in mind.

6. THE BENEFITS Despite low traffic counts, this would improve safety for residents and commuters alike Improves functionality of the street as a car and bike route Enhances livability for those along the road Would reduce overall maintenance costs
