Germantown commission amends 2024 trail plan to add sidewalks and improve Division Road connectivity
Summary
The Germantown Parks & Recreation Commission voted to amend the 2024 trail plan to add sidewalk extensions, reserve a north-of-Virginia connection to Mequon Road, and require 8-foot asphalt sidewalks where the right-of-way allows. The amendment passed by voice vote after staff presentation and commissioner discussion.
The Germantown Parks & Recreation Commission voted to amend the village’s 2024 trail plan to add sidewalk extensions and improve pedestrian connectivity along Division Road, a project staff says will align trail planning with a planned road reconstruction.
Village engineer Kevin Driscoll told commissioners staff identified an omission in the trail plan during design work and proposed three steps: acknowledge the omission, extend sidewalk to Lilac Lane with a pedestrian crossing in place of a dead end south of Virginia, and reserve a north-of-Virginia future alignment on the west side of Division Road to connect to Mequon Road.
