<br /> I <br /> I- ideal conditions do not exist in each segment and therefore other median alternatives may be more <br /> appropriate for some segments. Below is a summary of some of the key trade-offs in each segment. <br /> I Old Hwv 8 to Hwv 10 <br /> I Since a raised median and channelization is desirable at the signalized intersections there will be a <br /> need for at least a narrow median in this segment of the corridor. With a narrow median, most of <br /> I the median area would be used for left'turn lanes and there would be very little area for landscape <br /> enhancements. However, the wider median will result in additional wetland impact and there is <br /> relatively low probability that double left-turn lanes will be needed in the future. <br /> I Highwav 10 to Lexington Avenue <br /> I In this area there is a relatively high probability that double left-turn lanes may be needed in the <br /> future, there is plenty of right-of-way, there would be relatively little impact to adjacent land uses <br /> or wetlands, and there would be relatively little impact on the existing access. <br /> I Lexington to Hod!?son Road <br /> I In this segment there is adequate right-of-way to accommodate the wide median but there will be <br /> wetland impacts and some impact to adjacent land uses with the wide median. There is a low <br /> I- probability that double-left turns will be needed in this segment. There are existing land uses that <br /> currently have full access that would be restricted to right-in and right-out if a raised median were <br /> provided. However, from a safety standpoint the raised median would be desirable. <br /> I Hodgson to Rice Street . <br /> , In this segment there is adequate right-of-way to accommodate the wide median and there will <br /> minimal wetland impacts or impact to adjacent land uses with the wide median. However, there is <br /> a low probability that double-left turns will be needed in this segment. There are existing land uses <br /> , that currently have full access that would be restricted to right-in and right-out if a raised median <br /> were provided, From a safety standpoint the raised median would be desirable. <br /> , Rice Street to McMenemv <br /> , In this segment additional right-of-way would have to be acquired in some locations to accommodate <br /> the wide median alternative. The median would have impacts on the golf course, Water Works Park, <br /> and adjacent residential uses. There would also be additional wetland impacts. There is only one <br /> I access in this segment and if it could be moved to Rice Street there would be no need for left-turn <br /> lanes and the median may be eliminated. <br /> I McMenemv to Centerville <br /> .- - In this segment there is adequate right-of-way to accommodate the wide. median but there will be <br /> wetland impacts and some impact to adjacent land uses with the Wide median. There is a low <br /> , -'10 <br /> nm.' <br />
