U3. a ;a l iu: 43 FAX <br /> SEH ST. PALLi�001• �iti� <br /> Mr. Mike Ulrich <br /> March 4, 1994 <br /> • <br /> Page 3 <br /> • Fits well within a 60-foot right-of-way with room for signs, hydrants, snow storage, <br /> etc., on the public berm. <br /> • Provides better sight distance along the street. <br /> • Does not invite higher speeds or through traffic. <br /> Street width should only be as wide as necessary to accommodate the use. However, most <br /> residential areas place a number of demands on the street system for parking, travel, bicycles, <br /> pedestrians, deliveries, and emergencies. While arguments can be made for narrower streets in <br /> terms of less surface area,less cost, "slower traffic",and more aesthetic appearance, they actually <br /> operate relatively poorly in providing a service to the adjacent residents. We can provide a <br /> number of examples, if necessary. <br /> We hope that the above information will help the City in determining the street width which <br /> should be looked at as a standard. If you need any more information or would like to discuss <br /> this further, please feel free to call either myself at 490-2045 or Steve Campbell at 490-2067. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Glen Van Wormer, P. E. <br /> Manager, Transportation Department <br /> rut <br /> c: Steve Campbell <br /> Tom Sohrweide <br />
