Project Sponsor: <br /> <br />Cass County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />6. Sponsoring Official: <br /> <br />Robyn Sorum, Chair <br /> <br />7. Project Description: <br /> <br />Cass County Highway 17 has become a major traffic corridor in the Fargo/Moorhead <br />Metropolitan Area, and continues to attract residential development. There currently <br />exists no separated facility to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Use of the <br />highway shoulder is not recommended for the casual bicyclist or pedestrian, therefore it <br />is considered beneficial and prudent to construct a facility to accommodate such traffic in <br />this busy corridor, <br /> <br />The facility would consist of a 10' wide asphalt surface with benches being placed where <br />the opportunity exists approximately every mile. Phase 1 is part of a three phase project <br />proposed which in total would extend approximately 3 miles. <br />
