Since the plan is to install the . <br /> general landscaping in naturaL-looking groups or clusters, which should <br /> require relatively little care and maintenance, most of the maintenance will be . <br /> completed by the County. The cities would have virtually no responsibility <br /> for maintaining the general landscaping, unless they want a more finished or <br /> manicured look in their segment of the corridor. . <br />C. GENERAL CORRIDOR LIGHTING <br />Lighting for the Highway 96 corridor, to be installed as part of the basic roadway I <br />project, will be provided only at signalized intersections and in areas where <br />lighting is needed for special safety reasons. Any additional lighting, whether . <br />general roadway lighting or ornamental lighting for trails, walkways, or other <br />facilities, will be the responsibility of the cities along the corridor or other <br />agencies. . <br />Additional lighting in the corridor, besides the signalized intersection and safety <br />lighting, would be desirable, since it would improve the appearance of the -. <br />corridor, especially in relation to the many commercial developments and civic <br />facilities along the corridor, and additional lighting would create a safer <br />environment. It would also be desirable to have a uniform lighting treatment for I <br />the whole length of the corridor. Ideally, the cities in the corridor should agree to <br />either install lighting for the full length of the corridor, or not to install it. The <br />. issue is not so much that different segments of the corridor might have different . <br />levels of lighting as it is that there would be a marked contrast between a roadway <br />segment which has lighting and one which does not have any lighting at all. I <br /> Recommendation #6: GENERAL CORRIDOR LIGHTING . <br /> Install some general roadway lighting throughout the length of the <br /> corridor, in order to upgrade the image of the corridor and to . <br /> improve safety. <br /> . <br />If roadway lighting is installed in the corridor, it should be generally uniform in <br />design and color. Since roadway lighting may be installed incrementally and at . <br />different times, based upon each city's program and availability of funding, the <br />lighting design should be relatively simple and easy to install and maintain. It -. <br />most likely would not be practical to specify one particular manufacturer or make <br /> I <br />---- <br />
