<br />Current Physical Conditions <br /> <br />Off-Street Parking <br /> <br />Off-street parking is provided for every building in the study area; there is no parking <br />allowed on County Road E. Parking is allowed on Pine Tree Drive and Harriet Avenue <br />but rarely used. All parking areas appear to provide adequate capacity for the land uses <br />that they serve including the more intensive uses such as Arden Plaza, Flaherty's Arden <br />Bowl and the Northpark Corporate Center. <br /> <br />Structured parking in the study area is located under the two major Northpark Corporate <br />Center office buildings. <br /> <br />Pedestrian and Bicyclist Circulation <br /> <br />Pedestrian and bicyclist circulation in the study area is difficult and hazardous. <br /> <br />A concrete sidewalk exists along the south side of County Road E from the Highway 51 <br />off-ramp to Lexington A venue. On the north side, there is a sidewalk only from the west <br />leg of Connelly to Pine Tree Drive. Walking along County Road E is an intimidating <br />experience because of the high speed traffic. Crossing driveways or Pine Tree Drive is <br />dangerous because of the many turning vehicles. <br /> <br />There are no sidewalks along Pine Tree Drive, Harriet, Lexington or Highway 51. There <br />is a walking path in the open space owned by Country Financial. There are no designated <br />pedestrian crossing of County Road E. The only signalized intersections are at the <br />Highway 5] ramps and at the Lexington Avenue intersection. <br /> <br />There are no on-street striped bicycling lanes or off-street bicycling paths in the study <br />area. <br /> <br />Crossing the Highway 51 bridge is especially hazardous for pedestrians or bicyclists. The <br />bridge deck consists of two auto lanes, no sidewalks and no bicycling lanes. County <br />Road E is five lanes east of the bridge and two lanes west of the bridge. <br /> <br />Crossing Lexington A venue on foot or bicycle is equally intimidating. There are striped <br />pedestrian crossings and walk indicators at the signalized Lexington intersection but no <br />such help at the Arden Plaza driveway nor the Harriet A venue intersection. <br /> <br />Streetscape Improvements <br /> <br />Along County Road E there are decorative street lights elevated and spaced to illuminate <br />the road for auto traffic and, secondarily, pedestrian movement The metal poles and <br />I. I. shoebox" light fixtures are a step up from the most basic equipment and provide a high <br />level of illumination and enhance the sense that this is a special district. <br /> <br />There are no trees in any of the public street rights-of-way. Trees along County Road E <br />would help soften and effect of the wide road and add identity and unity to the corridor. <br />There is probably insufficient space between the curb and the right-of-way boundary <br /> <br />7 October <br /> <br />The New Lake Johanna Boulevard 2-21 <br />
