Page 2 of 3 improvements, trail and sidewalk improvements, pedestrian signal, signage and striping modifications, and drainage and utility improvements. The Applicant originally proposed two separate phases of traffic and pedestrian safety improvements for Lake Valentine Road. Phase 1 safety improvements, installed in 2020, included installation of a pedestrian traffic signal system, crosswalk markings, temporary painted center median, curb ramps and sidewalk pedestrian routes to the front of the school. The proposed amendment consists of two elements. The first is the final design of the road improvements to Lake Valentine Road. These improvements include a raised center median to complement the mid-block crossing and pedestrian traffic signal. The project also aligns access points and provides right turn lanes and left turn lanes. The second element is the final design of the north parking lot. The revised layout accommodates the revised access points, as well as a new surface, striping, parking lot islands and landscaping and lighting.
