Owl <br />Roadway and Site Design <br />Roadway connectors will extend east/west from Scott <br />Street to Taylor Street. These connections will provide <br />drive access to the residential housing parking lots. It is <br />anticipated that these roadways will be two travel lanes, <br />with on street parking provided on both sides. Complete <br />Street elements such as sidewalks, lighting and street <br />trees will be provided along the roadway. Bump -outs <br />and piano key crosswalks will be included to increase <br />safety at the crosswalks. <br />The intersection at Western Avenue and Taylor Street <br />will be reconstructed into a raised intersection to <br />promote pedestrian accessibility and traffic calming. <br />The raised intersection requires traffic to slow down, <br />alerts the driver of pedestrian crossings, and also <br />offers the opportunity for increased aesthetic features <br />using different pavement materials or colors than the <br />approaching roadways. Bump -outs will also help calm <br />traffic and improve pedestrian safety. The existing traffic <br />signal will be replaced. <br />Parking lots will be designed for the Phase 1 buildings. <br />Close coordination with the developer's site designer <br />will be imperative to align the parking lot and grading <br />with the proposed buildings. Matt and his team are well <br />experienced with this type of coordination. <br />As part of the project, survey for design, a boundary <br />survey and plat preparation will be prepared to dedicate <br />public right of way along the new streets. <br />UDLZ <br />» » City of South Bend Western Avenue Transformation District 8 <br />
