2. Sidewalk and <strong>Trail</strong> Connections<br />

Connecting the proposed <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> <strong>Trail</strong> to existing and proposed active transportation corridors in the study area is<br />

critical to making it useful and effective for trail users. The following sections describe sidewalks and trails.<br />

Sidewalks. Due to the rural nature of the <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> corridor, there are not many existing sidewalks in or adjacent to<br />

<strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong>. Using field verification and aerial imagery available through Google Earth, sidewalks were noted in the<br />

following locations:<br />

Location Description 1<br />

Table 4.7. Sidewalk Locations Within the <strong>Study</strong> Area<br />

Salt Road, Webster<br />

Knickerbocker Road, Ontario<br />

Northwest Corner of <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> and<br />

Lake Avenue Intersection, Williamson<br />

Southeast Corner of <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> and<br />

Lake Avenue Intersection, Williamson<br />

Northeast Corner of <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> and<br />

Lake Avenue Intersection, Williamson<br />

Sidewalks are present on both sides of Salt Road. Sidewalks run south to Ridge<br />

Road, and north, stopping at San Jose Drive, the next street after <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong>.<br />

A sidewalk is present on the east side of Knickerbocker Road, between <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong><br />

and Ridge Road. The sidewalk is present on the south side of <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> only.<br />

A sidewalk is present in front of Rite Aid on the north side of <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> for about 350<br />

feet between Lake Avenue and a driveway. A sidewalk also extends north from<br />

<strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> along the Rite Aid property for about 200 feet.<br />

A sidewalk is present in front of Breen‘s Market on the south side of <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> for<br />

about 500 feet between Lake Avenue and Pearsall Street.<br />

A sidewalk is present in front of Mark‘s Pizzeria, Mobil and Burger King on the north<br />

side of <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> for about 500 feet between Lake Avenue and Pearsall Street.<br />

Lake Avenue, Williamson<br />

Sidewalks are present on both sides of Lake Avenue between <strong>Route</strong> <strong>104</strong> and Ridge<br />

Road into the hamlet of Williamson. The sidewalks are not continuous on the east<br />

side of Lake Avenue, and disappear in the vicinity of the fire hall. The sidewalks also<br />

continue from Ridge Road south to Williamson High School.<br />

Sidewalks were observed in March 2011, using the most recent aerial images available through Google Earth.<br />

GTC and the Town of Williamson were working on a sidewalk inventory at the time of this study, but no further<br />

information was available.<br />
