The City is currently in the design phase of the project and would like your input on the street configuration of Hillview Road. The City invites you to attend a short presentation by engineering staff at the next Streets and Utilities Committee meeting to learn more about the street design options and allow the public an opportunity to ask questions and provide any feedback, input, or suggestions. The meeting details are as follows: HILLVIEW ROAD DESIGN PRESENTATION 7:00 P.M. – MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2012 MOUNDS VIEW CITY HALL – 2401 CO. HIGHWAY 10 Background/Purpose: The street width and lane configuration for Hillview Road is being evaluated because it is considered a non-standard street according to the City’s Street and Utility Improvement Program. Hillview Road is also being considered for pedestrian and bicycle accommodations in accordance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. After the presentation and public input, the Streets and Utilities Committee is expected to make a recommendation which will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration. Design Considerations: Hillview Road will be fully reconstructed with a new asphalt pavement section and vertical concrete barrier curbs. City engineering staff has provided design options for street width, lane configuration, and pedestrian/bicycle accommodations. Due to low traffic counts and infrequent use of on-street parking, a parking lane is being recommended on the north side only (no parking on south side of street). Recommended options for pedestrian/bicycle accommodations include either: 1) a multi-use trail, or 2) a sidewalk/bike lane combination. The trail and sidewalk are proposed to be in the north boulevard (adjacent to the parking lane), and the bike lane located on the south side (eastbound shoulder). Typical sections for these options are enclosed with this notice. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Feedback: Please indicate your preference for pedestrian/bicycle accommodations and parking options: 1.
