Pedestrian Crosswalk Pavement Markings <br />The Streets and Utilities Committee also recommended that pedestrian <br />crosswalks be striped on Red Oak Drive at major intersections. The crosswalks <br />are intended to have a calming affect on the drivers. Staff recommends the use <br />of “zebra” style crosswalks for greater visual impact. <br />Crosswalks would be located in an east-west direction across Red Oak Drive <br />only. No north-south crosswalks parallel to Red Oak Drive were recommended <br />by the Committee. Locations proposed for the crosswalks are stated below. <br />Attached drawings C6.01 and C6.02 show the locations graphically. <br />x Intersection with Hillview Road – both north and south sides <br />x Intersection with Ardan Avenue – both north and south sides <br />x Intersection with Long Lake Road – south side <br />The locations stated above are all indicated as proposed pedestrian corridors on <br />the Comprehensive Trails and Sidewalks Plan. <br />Resolution 7336 has been prepared to include the crosswalks as stated above. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution 7336 <br />approving traffic calming elements on Red Oak Drive for the 2009-2010 Street <br />and Utility Improvement Project. <br />The locations of the chokers have been intentionally stated in a fairly general way <br />in Resolution 7336, to allow minor modifications during final design. For the <br />same reason, the layout drawings also have not been referenced in Resolution <br />7336. Keep in mind that the final construction plans will need to come before the <br />Council for approval, so Council will have one more opportunity to review the <br />final locations of the chokers at that time. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Joseph R.
