EXCERPT FROM STAFF MEMO TO STREETS & UTILITIES COMMITTEE: <br />Memorandum <br />To: Streets and Utilities Committee Members <br />From: Design Team <br />Date:8/12/08 <br />Re: Red Oak Drive South of Hillview Road (Non-Standard Width) <br /> File No.: 435-08132-0 <br />“PEDESTRIAN CORRIDOR <br />This segment of Red Oak Drive is designated as a potential pedestrian/bicycle <br />corridor. On Red Oak Drive north of Hillview Road, the corridor will be on the <br />west side of the road in the form of a dual use parking/pedestrian/bicycle lane. It <br />would make sense to continue the corridor on the west side of Red Oak Drive <br />south of Hillview Road. In this area, the road is not centered within the 66-foot <br />wide right-of-way. There is approximately 37 feet of right-of-way on the west side <br />of Red Oak Drive (16 feet from edge of existing road) and 29 feet of right-of-way <br />on the east side (8 feet from edge of existing road). So, there is more room on <br />the west side in which to construct the pedestrian corridor. Because there is no <br />need to provide parking on this segment of Red Oak Drive, and because this <br />segment of Red Oak Drive experiences twice the amount of traffic than the <br />segment north of Hillview Road experiences, we recommend that pedestrian <br />traffic be separated from the road. This can be done by constructing a concrete <br />sidewalk adjacent to the back of curb, as shown on attached Figure 1, as the <br />pedestrian corridor. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />x Staff recommends a 6.5-foot wide concrete sidewalk be constructed in the <br />westerly boulevard of Red Oak Drive, south of Hillview Road, to offer a <br />link between the proposed County Road 10 bituminous trail and <br />pedestrian/bicycle corridor on Hillview Road and Red Oak Drive, north of <br />Hillview Road.”
