Right-of-Way Impacts
The right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed ultimate corridor roadway and trail concepts are expected to be minimal. Implementation of the preliminary roadway and trail improvement concept will generally require 120 feet of right-of-way throughout the entire corridor which will include trails on both sides of the roadway, boulevards, a raised median, and the paved roadway surface (actual roadway surface width will range from 59 feet to 88 feet, based on lane configuration). The existing right-of-way in the segment from CSAH 49 (Hodgeson Road) to Old Birch Street (west leg) ranges from 100 to 120 feet, and approximately 75% of this segment will require no additional right-of-way for roadway purposes.
Existing Right-of-Way
Existing right-of-way in the segment from Old Birch Street (west leg) to CSAH 21 (Centerville Road) is generally 120 feet and the recommended improvements will require no additional right-of-way (except at intersections). The existing right-of-way for the segment from CSAH 21 (Centerville Road) to CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) ranges from 66 to 93 feet. The recommended improvements will require some right-of-way acquisition in this segment; however, as much of this segment is currently undeveloped agricultural land, with good planning, any future development can be platted in a manner that minimizes impacts. The map below highlights the potential right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed ultimate corridor roadway and trail concepts.
