However, that section of Laurel Creek is still identified as an "Environmental Reserve" in some circles which hinders what can be done. As well, since the property is technically the private property of the University (bounded by Columbia, Fisher-Hallman, Bearinger, and the railway right-of-way), it's not as easy for the City to simply put a road or trail connection in.
A road is in the long-term plan for that area, and it is mentioned in some University documents. I don't know how long that term is though.
That is correct. The 2012 Northwest Campus Development Guidelines show a planned road connection and mentions 40 year time to build out.
The last approved campus master plan from 2009 talks of a 25 year time horizon and only show the connection as an active transportation route and possibly as an interior bus circulator loop.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
