Centerville 2040 Chapter 6: Transportation Major and Minor Collectors Major and minor collector roadways provide linkages to larger developments and community amenities. They generally do not link communities to one another. Collector roadways generally favor access to the system over mobility, but try to balance the two competing needs. Collector roadways are generally lower speed than the principal or minor arterial routes. Collector roadways are often owned and operated by cities, although counties operate some of these facilities. Within Centerville, seven collector roadways are owned and operated by the city. Collectors are intended to serve trips of one to four miles in length. Collectors link minor arterials, other collectors, and local streets. Major collectors typically serve higher density residential areas and concentrations of commercial and industrial land uses. These facilities tend to serve longer trips than minor collectors. Major collectors within the city include the following: • Peltier Lake Drive • Mill Road' • Old Mill Road • Brian Drive • Dupre Road • 21St Avenue North There are no minor collectors within the city, and the 2040' Transportation Policy Plan does'not propose any additional collector roadways within the city. The City has planned a network of local collector roads. These existing and proposed roads are shown, schematically, on Map 6-1. Local Roadways The primary function of local roadways is land access. Local roadways connect individual land parcels with other local roadways and collectors. Trips on local roadways are typically under two miles. Speeds on local roadways are typically low. Longer trips are facilitated by local roadway connections to the collector and arterial systems. Local roadways are under the jurisdiction of the City of Centerville. Local roadways are all roadways that are not arterials or collectors. Chapter 6 1 Page 6 38
