8 ROADWAY STUDIES A B C1 C2 PHASE ONE PHASE TWO

9 FIXED DESIGN CRITERIA VEHICULAR ACCESS CRITERIA ELIMINATE LEFT TURNS INTO DRIVEWAYS U-TURNS FOR TRUCKS PROHIBITED TRAFFIC CONTROL LEFT TURN POCKETS REQUIRED NO NEW SIGNALS FOUR TRAVEL LANES TWO TRAVEL LANES POSSIBLE FUTURE OPTION TRANSIT INCORPORATE BRT STATIONS

10 FIXED DESIGN CRITERIA TREES PRESERVE EXISTING TREES PARKING CRITERIA MINIMIZE ON-STREET PARKING LOSS ESPECIALLY IN TOWN CENTER BALANCE LOSS AMONG BLOCKS BIKE LANE CRITERIA 5 MINIMUM STANDARD

11 ADDITIONAL PREFERRED DESIGN CRITERIA VEHICULAR ACCESS CRITERIA LEFT AND U-TURN MAXIMUM SPACING 1-3 BLOCKS PEDESTRIAN ACCESS CRITERIA CORNER BULBS-OUTS INCREASE NUMBER OF CROSSINGS TREES MAINTAIN OUTSIDE EXISTING CURB ALIGNMENT

12 ADDITIONAL PREFERRED DESIGN CRITERIA PEDESTRIAN ACCESS and SAFETY CRITERIA MAXIMIZE PEDESTRIAN MEDIAN REFUGE MIN. 6 WIDE LADDER CROSSINGS WHERE POSSIBLE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATED CROSSING SIGNALS WHERE POSSIBLE PROTECTED INTERSECTIONS THROUGHOUT CORRIDOR MAXIMIZE CORNER BULBOUTS (22% CROSSING DISTANCE REDUCTION) BIKE LANE CRITERIA 8 WIDTH ENHANCE WITH COLOR POSSIBLE FUTURE OPTION

13 EXISTING STREET SECTION VERSUS DESIRED STREET ELEMENTS CURB TO CURB WIDTH TOO NARROW ALL DESIRED ELEMENTS WOULD REMOVE TREES

14 A PEDESTRIAN REFUGE / MEDIAN, MAXIMUM POSSIBLE INTERSECTION LEFT TURNS

15 B BIKE LANES WITH PEDESTRIAN REFUGES AND OCCASIONAL LEFT TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS, LIMITED MEDIAN

16 C1 MAXIMUM PEDESTRIAN REFUGE / MEDIAN WITH RESTRICTED INTERSECTION LEFT TURNS

17 C2 PHASE TWO TWO TRAVEL LANES WITH BIKE LANES, MAXIMUM PEDESTRIAN REFUGE AND MEDIAN WITH RESTRICTED INTERSECTION LEFT TURNS

18 C2 PHASE TWO PROCESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT AND ANALYSIS WILL STUDY: TRAFFIC IMPACTS AT INTERSECTIONS REDISTRIBUTION OF EXISTING TRAFFIC POSSIBLE NEIGHBORHOOD CUT-THROUGH ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS AT OTHER ROADWAYS TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC POSSIBLE PHASING FUNDING FOR EIR CITY WILL ASSIST NEIGHBORHOODS TO IDENTIFY FUNDING
