The intent is <br /> that special attention be paid to enhancing intersections <br /> where there is an entrance to the community. Special <br /> attention may include street and curb realignments, <br /> burying overhead utility lines, berming and landscaping. <br /> Design parameters need to be developed to help define <br /> each intersection. <br /> Implementation <br /> of Parkways Because each candidate parkway is so different in its <br /> character, the effort is to create design themes that adapt to <br /> a variety of situations. The intent is not to dramatically <br /> alter the existing character of each road, rather to enhance <br /> the function of each street though these improvements. <br /> These improvements could include themes in landscape <br /> materials, pavement, curbing, road width, lighting, <br /> signage, trails, access management, medians, overhead <br /> utility line managementlburial, on-street parking <br /> . requirements, community entrances/signage, etc. These <br /> design themes need to be chosen by the community, and <br /> will be implemented as the streets are improved or <br /> reconstructed. The following steps will guide the <br /> implementation process: <br /> 1. Create a set of design themes and guidelines, through a community input <br /> process. Each route and relevant information is shown in Table 7.2. These <br /> characteristics and data can be further analyzed to create a set of design <br /> guidelines that can be adapted to a variety of local roadway conditions. Local <br /> neighborhoods along the routes can be instrumental in choosing the appropriate , <br /> design standards. <br /> 2. Use design guidelines to determine final design for each parkway or gateway <br /> intersection is upgraded. When a roadway is ready to be upgraded, the design <br /> guidelines will be llsed by the City to determine the specific design for each <br /> parkway or gateway. <br /> 3. Identify City funding sources for additional improvements. Identify funding <br /> through the Capital Improvements Plan and annual budget. Pursue grants and <br /> other sources of outside funding for enhancements. <br /> . City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan Page 81 <br />
