Description
At the trail crossing at 66th and Vagabond, the crossing would greatly benefit from pedestrian crossing signs and white painted street crossing markings on the road. This is the main artery of the trail into Gleason Fields from the East. The photo displays where the crossing is (where the bikes are in the photo). People driving go much to fast on this stretch of Vagabond because it is far between stop signs. It is difficult for pedestrians to cross on the trail, as there are slight curves in the road on Vagabond just north and south of the crossing — oncoming traffic is not often visualized especially if the car is moving fast. The citizens of Maple Grove would greatly appreciate the addition of pedestrian street crossing signs and road markings. Thank you!

With the renovation of Gleason Fields almost complete, the city has reviewed existing trail and sidewalk connections to the park from the adjacent neighborhoods and have concluded that pedestrian crosswalks will be marked at the Vagabond Lane intersection at 66th Place, and the existing midblock crossing of Vagabond Lane located between the two Gleason Fields parking lot driveways (approximately 1/4-mile to the north of the 66th Place intersection).
Work orders have been completed for these marked crosswalks, and they should be installed in the coming weeks.
