Title
Main Street Complete Streets Design: Review and Comment on the Main Street Complete Streets Design Alternatives End
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Council Infrastructure Committee reviews the Main Street Complete Streets design alternatives and provides feedback.
End
SUMMARY
The Main Street Complete Streets project will reduce the roadway from four to two lanes, add bulb-outs (curb extensions) at intersections, add bike lanes, improve ADA access with new curb ramps, widen sidewalks, create on-street parking opportunities that provide door zone protection for bicyclists, resurface and restripe roadways, and create an attractive, sustainable landscaped buffer along sidewalks.
The Main Street Complete Streets project increases pedestrian and bicycle transportation options which, in turn, will lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions related to single occupancy vehicle use and will investigate implementing green infrastructure and storm water treatment technology through street design.
