Project P -ST -SW -W -13 -02 Feasibility Report County Road D Reconstruction 13 side in Shoreview. There are north - south cross walk s just to the east of Chatsworth Street and another one at the east driveway of Emmet D. Williams Elementary School . Lexington Avenue is a regional recreation corridor ; the path way along Lexington Avenue extends the entire width of the City, starting at Larpenteur Avenue and continu ing north through Shoreview. The City’s Pathway Master Plan includes a recommendation to construct a pathway along Victoria Street . This segment is included as a priority corridor, r ecommending that a n off road pathway and bike lanes be constructed. 2. Parking Parking is currently allowed on both sides of County Road D and on the side streets . 3. Road Alignment The entire length of County Road D runs stra ight east - west between Lexington Avenue and Victoria Street . The existing street right -of -way i s 66 feet wide, with the road constructed roughly in the center of the right -of -way. The street segment has five street intersections. The intersection at Vi ctoria Street is an all - way stop . The Lexington Avenue intersection is signalized. The Chatsworth Street / Richmond Avenue intersection is a four way intersection , with stop conditions on the minor streets entering onto County Road D . The remaining int ersection s , County Road D at Churchill Street and at Hafner Court are three way intersection s , with a stop condition for the minor streets entering onto County Road D . All of the intersecting streets have a relatively low traffic volume when compared to County Road D ; they range between 200 -400 ADT. None of these intersections h ave a significant accident history. 4. Traffic Management County Road D serves as a collector road. Traffic from the neighborhoods to the north, south, and east use it to get to th e County Road system. The traffic volume, while high for typical residential streets, is low for a collector road. Traffic counts were collected in 2009; the traffic volume between Lexington Avenue and Chatsworth Street is 2,4 00 vehicles per day with an 85 th percentile s peed of 40 mph. The segment between Chatsworth Street and Victoria Street carries 1,400 vehicles per day; its 85th percentile speed is 43 mph. The 85th percentile speed is the sp eed at which 85% of the traffic is travelling . Both segment s are signed 3 5 mph. There is a school speed zone of 20 MPH in front of Emmet D. Williams Elementary School . B. Storm Water County Road D has an existing storm sewer system. The street runoff is collected into pipes at the intersections of Chatsworth Stre et and Churchill Street and conveyed underground to the south . Th is runo ff discharges into Little Lake Josephine which drains into Lake Josephine. This project is in Rice Creek Watershed District , and the City is required to obtain a permit for this proj ect . Minor low areas have been identified during the planning process.
