10 13 Big Trees. Not sure how much it gets considered but a lot of commercial/mixed use areas have poor tree canopy because they get redeveloped every 30 years and all the trees get ripped out. If there are any areas within easements or ROWs that the city could plant larger/longer living trees that may survive the next development cycle it could create a better atmosphere for the area in the future. 9 - 14 A policy to continue all projects focus on the effect to our actions effecting our carbon footprint. The projects should be forward thinking by utilizing creative sensible technology. It can be as simple as pervious trails or pervious parking spaces. Lots of planting with plant materials which are know to reduce carbon such as ginkgo trees. Increase incentives for solar. Anything cutting edge to support reduction of human impact as we move forward. 2 - 15 It seems like there’s an opportunity to widen 27th Ave. to create diagonal street parking and use it as the access to future developments instead of creating a parallel drive for the apartment parking. The new curb cut on the Service Drive is very close to the 27th Ave connection. 1 1 16 I’d suggest beefing this up with more big trees. Reduce our impact on the environment, help mitigate hot summer temps, and make it more beautiful.-- 17 Look for opportunities to create new pedestrian connections to the surrounding existing neighborhoods. If retail and restaurant tenants moved in it’d be great to have walkable routes.3 - #This Concerns Me Likes Dislikes 1 Connecting Palmer Drive would divert traffic from the park and school through a residential neighborhood further isolating an underused park.4 7 2 Bad Idea to connect Robin Lane to Palmer Drive, this will really increase traffic through the neighborhood. If you agree it’s a bad idea hit LIKE button.2 1 3 Connection this greatly concerns me. This would cause far too much traffic through the neighborhood. Cars already move through here too quickly 2 3 4 There may be enough high density housing in this area.15 2 5 Has anyone who designed this map actually driven in this area at the end of a regular work day? Its already pretty bad. Cramming more people on top of each other will only make it worse. I’m pretty sure not a single resident in New Brighton has said “you know what we need, more people and worse traffic”. -1 6 This seems like a lot of new residents in a small area. Density seems high.23 5 7 The building massing at the Silver Lake and Palmer intersection “feels” overwhelming as a person heading north on Silver Lake takes in this entrance to the entire area north of 694. It’s a lot to absorb in terms of a dramatic change to the community. I imagine that the vision for the west side is dependent on the fate of the car dealership. 8 3 8 The location concerns me. A tiny park surrounded by parking and roads doesn’t sound like fun for a aren’t of small children who frequently don’t pay attention to what/where they are going.1 - 9 With all of this added density and residents, there should be a plan to redesign the on/off ramps from SLR to/from 694.19 - 10 Why does this bike path just stop? There should be bike lanes down all of Silver Lake to allow for safe bike accessibility.10 4 11 Is this an additional 4-way intersection with traffic lights? An additional traffic light would inhibit flow of traffic on Silver Lake.7 2 12 This roadway is already busy and can become backed up. With this much more residential, it will amplify the traffic throughout and cause many more problems.12 2
