South Suburban seeks input on resurfacing approximately 2,300 linear feet of the Lee Gulch Trail from Prince St., an existing bike route/facility, to the Mary Carter Greenway Trail. This section of the Lee Gulch Trail is heavily used by pedestrians and bicyclists for recreation and commuting purposes, and it is a critical connection for those who use or rely on active means of transportation. The existing trail surface is granite fines, a soft surface that is susceptible to rutting, heavy icing, erosion, and can be impassable following storm events and during the winter months. The proposed concrete surface will reduce hazards for trail users and allow snow removal, resulting in a trail that can be used year-round.
Additionally, the granite fines can wash into Lee Gulch creating sediment deposits that could alter the flow, contribute to flooding, and negatively impact water quality and aquatic wildlife. This may result in fines and penalties under local, state, and federal clean water laws. South Suburban spends approximately $8,000-10,000 annually replacing granite fines at this location. Operational costs saving will be applied to snow removal expenses.
