RE: Designate Bike Lanes on Snell Road from Jackson Sheet to Moser Street
BACKGROUND
The reconstruction of Snell Road from Jackson Street to Moser Street is budgeted in the 2020
Capital Improvements Program (CIP) and presents an opportunity to rebuild this road as a
typical urban cross-section street, including multi-modal amenities such as sidewalks and bike
lanes. The typical right-of-way of Snell Road is sixty six feet (66'). The road is planned to be
forty six (46') wide with an eleven and a half foot (11.5') travel lane in each direction, a thirteen
foot (13') shared left-turn lane, a five foot (5') bike lane in each direction, approximately five
foot(5') wide terraces on each side, and five foot(5') sidewalks on each side.
ANALYSIS
This section of Snell Road connects Jackson Street and North Main Street to Winnebago County
Park. The park is a major destination with many uses and contains multi-modal
accommodations including a trail system. Snell Road is also heavily used by trucks to access
businesses in the area. Widening the road and adding sidewalks and bike lanes will better
facilitate all users. Bike lanes on Snell Road will also connect the bike lanes on North Main
Street with Snell Road and the Winnebago County Park's trail system. The Bike and Pedestrian
Advisory Committee recommends approval of this road design to accommodate all users (5-0).
The Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee also recommends approval(4-1).
FISCAL IMPACT
The reconstruction of Snell Avenue is budgeted at $4,607,900 per the 2020 CIP approved by
Council in November 2019.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend the Common Council approve these modifications to Section A-10.1 of the
Appendix to Section 27 of the Municipal Code pertaining to bicycle lanes designated and
support reconstructing Snell Road from Jackson Street to Moser Street as an urban cross-section
street with multi-modal accommodations including sidewalks.
