Centerville 2040 Chapter 6: Transportation <br /> transportation at the regional level. The RBTN identifies Tier 1 and Tier 2 <br /> alignments where existing regional or other trails exist or where a specific <br /> alignment has been identified. The RBTN also identifies Tier 1 and Tier 2 <br /> corridors where specific alignments have not yet been defined. <br /> The City maintains policies which support the design of safe and efficient trails <br /> throughout the City along existing and developing roadways as well as <br /> through off-road corridors. A map of the City's existing and proposed trails is <br /> shown in Map 5-1. More detailed goals and policies regarding trails can be <br /> found in Chapter 5 which is the parks and trails chapter of this plan. Map 5-1 <br /> also depicts the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) within the <br /> City and its relationship with the local network of trails and sidewalks. A Tier 2 <br /> RBTN alignment aligns with CSAH 14 at the northern boundary of the City and <br /> extends along CSAH 14 to the eastern boundary of the City. Also, a Tier 2 <br /> RBTN runs along CSAH 21 from the southern boundary of the City to CSAH <br /> 14. The City does not contain a regional employment cluster or activity center <br /> node. <br /> The planned redevelopment of the downtown area will have a distinct <br /> pedestrian friendly feel, accomplished through streetscaping elements such as <br /> boulevard trees, decorative concrete sidewalks and intersection treatments, <br /> on-street parking, decorative pedestrian lighting and other landscape <br /> amenities. <br /> A network of trails will allow bicycle access to the downtown while providing <br /> viable bypass routes for those on more regional trips through the area. No <br /> planned regional or local trails require connections over major physical <br /> barriers such as freeways, railroad corridors, rivers or streams <br /> Bicycles and pedestrians can access the regional transit network by accessing <br /> the park and ride facility at Main Street (CSAH 14) and 21St Street which serves <br /> as a stop for Route 275. Trails that provide pedestrian and bicycle access to <br /> this facility include the regional trail along CSAH 14 as well as planned city <br /> trails through downtown and sidewalks along CSAH 21. <br /> `SPECIAL -�ITUATI®NS <br /> At this time the City is not involved in any right-of-way preservation projects <br /> ....o.r.corridor..studies................................................................................ <br /> Chapter 6 1 Page 11 <br /> 43 <br />
