Streetscape and Trails <br /> IMPROVEMENTS <br /> The streetscape extension has been designed to compliment the existing streetscape plans for C.S.A.H 14. <br /> Many cities have 1-2 cross streets that become the focal point of the downtown. C.S.A.H. 14 and <br /> Centerville Rd have been identified as the main corridors through the downtown district. In efforts to <br /> visually designate these streets as main thoroughfares the number of street trees and lights are <br /> concentrated on these two roads. An urban cross section will also reinforce t ' al identity. This <br /> includes sVeet parking with bump outs along Centerville Road, a 6` stam olore 'concrete section <br /> abutting the back of curb, sVeet trees planted in structural soil and tr and potential planters and <br /> benches. The City could consider custom made light pole banners, I art s res, an informational <br /> kiosk, and custom designed entry features to further personaliz ' force t ntown center. <br /> An integral colored intersection at Centerville Road and I SVeet uld vibrantly ma in Street <br /> intersection pattern. This intersection would greatly c t the ur section and des e the <br /> downtown along Centerville Road. !t adds visual interest an utio to crossing p estrians. The <br /> intersection layout can be seen illustrated in Figure 6.1. �, <br /> I <br /> Plain scored concrete 6' wide has been placed ominant leve flow will occur. The use <br /> of concrete in the marked areas is preferred ove 'tu i nify a n , consistent, downtown feel. <br /> Based on proposed multi-family, retail, and townh I s will support pedestrian traffic <br /> flow among residential, reta' lots, and des ons such a e elementary school and St. <br /> Genevieve Church. <br /> F <br /> There are two concepts pro � for '` � ntown trail sidewalk plan. Figure 6.2 shows the preferred <br /> concept which ' a trail s t orth of the senior center to provide additional <br /> recreation seni surroundin neighbors in this area. This off road section of trail <br /> then co ts to a propo tion o ret sidewalk that connects to a patch of existing sidewalk. <br /> This alignment wou meet ith the existing sidewalk at Meadow Lane. At this point a <br /> crosswalk s be provided a ain th to the recreational opportunities and regional Vail east of <br /> Centerville Ro roposed tr s shown that links to Laurie Lamotte Memorial Park and the Regional <br /> Trail. Many park re alre creating their own path at this crossing. This concept shows a practical <br /> and safe way to link idents and seniors to greater park and trail amenities and is consistent with <br /> the City's trail and sidew lanning. Please see Appendix C for the City's comprehensive trail and <br /> sidewalk plan. It also all ws Heritage Street to stay consistent with the surrounding sections of roads and <br /> compliment the urban residential environment of the proposed development. Figure 6.3 represents one <br /> bituminous Vail connection along Heritage Street. This connection would bypass the senior center and the <br /> east link to Laurie Lamotte Memorial Park. <br /> Decorative lighting is located within a one block radius from C.S.A.H. 14 and Centerville Road. Again <br /> lighting and trees have been concentrated among the highest traveled roads with 10-12 lights per street <br /> block at approximately 50' spacing. On the side streets, 6 lights are proposed per sVeet block at <br /> approximately 100' spacing. These lights are estimated to have a 35' span of light at 100 watt voltage. <br /> Ciry of Centerville Project No: 616-07-1610 <br /> Downtown Redevelopment � . �11eSt1� Page 19 <br />
