Plan B - Dedicated Transit Lane
Concept “B” shifts the through lanes northward and incorporates a transit-only lane for transit circulators, buses, carriages, trolleys, and trains. There are other opportunities to provide transit off of King, but this explores a concept that has been previously discussed in the community.
PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE
Improved sidewalks and shade from trees will create a better pedestrian experience for residents and visitors alike.
Expanded sidewalks; 8’-11’ on each side
Street trees; typically cabbage palms (Florida state tree)
Pedestrian scale lighting with vehicular scale lighting at intersections.
Mid-block crossings provide safe opportunities to cross.
VEHICULAR EXPERIENCE
Vehicular modifications are focused and “surgical” in nature. The intent is to support smoother movement of vehicular traffic. Traffic engineers have modeled both concepts to validate that traffic volume is maintained or even improved from today’s conditions.
Lanes are consistently 10’-11’ in width.
Improved drainage is included throughout.
Defined center turn lane in brick.
BICYCLE EXPERIENCE
Bicycles will also benefit from the incorporation of sharrows and the better defined travel lanes.
