<br />Non-Standard Street Design Recommendations – Area B/C <br />July 13, 2009 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Edgewood Drive: Non-Standard Street Width + Pedestrian/Bicycle Accommodations <br />Edgewood Drive is a Municipal State Aid street between County Road H and County <br />Road H2. It is also a designated pedestrian corridor in the City’s Comprehensive <br />Sidewalk/Trailway Plan. It currently exists as a wide roadway with 12 foot drive lanes <br />and 10 foot parking lanes on each side, with a total width of 45 feet face-to-face of curb. <br />The entire corridor is signed with “No Parking” restrictions with a mix of anytime or <br />limited time frames. <br /> <br />Due to reasons listed above, options presented by Staff to the Committee only included <br />configurations that would narrow the road by eliminating the west parking lane. At the <br />June 2, 2009 public information meeting, a group of residents in Area C were in favor of <br />keeping the existing configuration with parking accommodations on both sides of the <br />roadway. The Committee did not adopt any design option for Edgewood Drive and <br />directed Staff to develop some other options for future consideration. These options will <br />be presented to the Committee, along with previously considered options, at the August <br />17, 2009 Committee meeting. A recommendation for Edgewood Drive is anticipated to <br />be presented for City Council consideration at their August 24, 2009 regular meeting. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 7479 which will approve the <br />non-standard street design recommendations for Areas B and C of the Street and Utility <br />Improvement Program. Adopting the resolution will allow the engineering consultant to <br />progress with the final design and plan/specification preparation phases of the project. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Nick DeBar <br />Public Works Director
