At the March 14, 2017 Discussion Session, the design team presented four new options for bike facilities along Brentwood Boulevard and modifications to the proposed median to address public comments. The Board decided to eliminate two of the options from further consideration. Since that meeting the Mayor suggested the possibility of removing one northbound lane between I-170 and the northern intersection of Corporate Park Drive and shifting the remaining lanes to the east to allow for bike lanes. Because the roadway is narrow between Davis and Orlando, the remaining lanes would have to be reduced to less than 9.5 feet wide to accommodate two five- foot bike lanes. These narrow lane widths would not likely be approved by FHWA/MoDOT. Members of the City’s design team will be present along with staff to discuss options for Brentwood Boulevard. Recommendation is to consider the options available and decide on an option to allow final design to proceed for the Brentwood Boulevard Resurfacing Project and meet the project schedule to maintain federal funding.

Dale Houdeshell, Public Works, introduced Matt Malick, Public Works, Jason Dohrmann, HRGreen; and Paul Wojciechowski, Alta Planning & Design. Matt Malick provided the Board with a PowerPoint presentation (attached) of the Brentwood Boulevard design project. Paul Wojciechowski provided an overview on his view of creating a bike path plan; he referred to some options, although some of the best options would be very expensive. He said that the best and probably the only facility for the bike lane would be on the east side. Mayor Sanger noted that the City needs to make a decision soon due to a federal grant of $513,000 plus the City’s contribution of $513,000 and can run the risk of losing the federal grant. Alderman Lintz shared his recent experience of walking his dog along the Brentwood Boulevard (sidewalk) across from the Police Station all the way to Francis Place. The traffic was fairly light in the 9:00-10:00 a.m. hour, but it was still noisy and gave the Metro bus clear runway to keep its schedule, “racing” right along the curb next to the sidewalk. Turning onto Francis Place they had a pleasant stroll back up through the tunnel and along the service road in Shaw Park ending right back to his car. If he wanted to ride his bike to the Galleria, he knows what route to take. He added that he would not want to ride on Brentwood Boulevard during rush hour and believes it is a dangerous road for bicyclists.
