C. Ultimate Corridor Improvement Plan <br />Four -lane divided roadway (with raised medians) on the western portion of the <br />corridor (CSAH 49 to approximately Black Duck Drive), two -lane divided <br />roadway (with raised medians) on the eastern segment of the corridor (Black <br />Duck Drive to CSAH 54, trials on both sides of CSAH 34, traffic signals at all <br />major intersections (CSAH 49, Ware Road, West Shadow Lake Drive, Black <br />Duck Drive, CSAH 54, and CSAH 21), left and right -turn lanes at other <br />intersections, and backage roads or local street connections. <br />Following the presentation, there was some concern expressed over the ultimate design as <br />proposed. Specifically, concerns were related to the proposed inclusion of a median <br />along the length of the corridor. To better address the council's issues and to formulate a <br />completed study that satisfies the corridor objectives, staff is requesting further council <br />discussion. Specific direction regarding the following plan elements is requested: <br />• Are painted turn lanes at major intersections acceptable? <br />• Are the proposed signal locations acceptable? <br />• Is the proposed ultimate design from Centerville Road to 20th Avenue (two -lane <br />divided /limited access) acceptable? <br />• Are the planned backage roads /local connections acceptable? <br />• Are medians constructed at signal (with turn lane) locations acceptable? <br />• Is a four lane roadway without median and /or painted median acceptable? <br />• Are there any changes to the proposed landscaping /trail elements? <br />Staff will have roadway design layouts available at the meeting to aid in the discussion. <br />Council Direction <br />Staff is requesting council direction regarding the above referenced design elements. <br />Attachments <br />1.
