<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />are used extensively for recreational and utilitarian walking and biking. <br />Most of these streets have no offroad trails, sidewalks or marked on road <br />trails. <br />Strcctlighting: The City currently does not maintain any streetlighting. <br />Existing strect lighting is either privately owned or owned by Ramsey <br />County. The inclusion of streetlighting could be considered for safety as <br />well as aesthetic goals. <br />Landscaping: The City has generally not included landscaping with street <br />reconstruction exeept for cases where existing landscaping was removed <br />for the street constmction. The Council should consider whether a policy <br />of providing some landscaping enhancements (in common areas on a <br />project specific basis) should be included as a patt of the PMP. <br />Landscaping enhancements are generally well received and would likely <br />help "sell" the projects to residents but would obviously add cost to the <br />projccts. <br />Narrow Throated Intersections: A design treatment to city streets which <br />would narrow street widths at interscctions to 20 - 24 feet in width. This <br />design treatment provides tends to slow traffic at intersections and <br />eliminate parking near interseetion approaches thereby increasing <br />visibility. Additional greenspace and the potential to landscape these areas <br />are positi ve results. <br />Lane Striping: A traffic calming design treatmcnt to city streets which <br />would include painting solid white lines at 10-12 feet from roadway <br />centerline providing the perception of a narrower street for drivers which <br />tends to slow traffic. The resulting space in the street could serve as a <br />shoulder, parking lane or pedestrian/bike zone. This would require annual <br />restriping to keep its effectiveness. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />5. <br />
