2. Another option would be to increase inbound capacity modifying the inbound lanes to wrap around <br />parallel to the exit lanes, as shown in the image below. The outbound lane could possibly be able to be <br />reduced to a single lane in this area, but two exiting lanes will still be needed for a sufficient distance on <br />approach to the traffic signal. <br /> <br /> <br />3. The construction of pedestrian infrastructure, particularly connecting to the existing neighborhoods <br />located along Palmer Drive and a connection to the Cimarron development will help reduce the need for <br />vehicular trips to the school and is consistent with County long-term plans. <br />4. As the area to the south develops, the school, city, and county should work collaboratively to reduce <br />vehicular dependency by constructing and integrating non-motorized connections to the surrounding <br />community. The pedestrian routes should connect with nearby neighborhoods, both existing and planned, <br />and provide safe and reasonable direct access into the school site itself. <br /> <br />Although not part of the current proposal, the district’s drawing showing future additional expansion phases <br />would require relocation of the current outbound traffic lanes, and likely necessitate future expansion of the <br />school site southward into what is currently private property. Such expansion, along with a new east-west street <br />serving new development, could provide valuable opportunities to improve internal stacking space and safer <br />access to the county highway system. Any such improvements will necessitate careful coordination between the <br />property owner, city, school, and county regarding relocation of the existing signalized intersection and future <br />additional development of the property to the south. It would be advantageous to have preliminary discussions <br />this year regarding those future phases to ensure that current proposals do not preclude such future <br />improvements. Any reconstruction or relocation of the intersection would be subject to Washington County’s Cost
