<br />The two "end caps" and the Pine Tree Drive <br />intersection "centerpiece" should be accentuated <br />by color, intensity, lighting and signage. <br /> <br /> <br />Improvements should include irrigation for the <br />boulevards and the median plus electrical outlets <br />for winter lighting. Light fixtures should have <br />"cut-offs" to concentrate the beam and reduce <br />glare. <br /> <br />Ideally, this streetscape improvement should be carried a short distance into Shoreview <br />so as to make a smooth transition with the changing nature of the road and land use as <br />well as to emphasize the intersection as an important landmark or node. <br /> <br />Left-Turns only at Signalized Intersections: Importantly, this improvement program <br />calls for building a raised, landscaped median that would eliminate all left-turn <br />movements except at the signalized intersections at the Highway 51 ramps, Pine Tree <br />Drive, a planned new intersection between Pine Tree Drive and Lexington A venue, and <br />Lexington Avenue. <br /> <br /> <br />Street trees with new buildings brought close to a new Lake Johanna Boulevard should <br />be used to create attractive spaces for pedestrians and a stronger community conne.ction <br />to the corridor. <br />
