Plan A

APPROVED FINAL CONCEPT

Concept “A” improves the beauty of the street while defining the center turn lane in brickMid-block crossings are also added for pedestrians, which are carefully placed between intersections and support current access patterns to businesses and residences along the corridor.

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.
