Urban Design Enhancements <br /> <br />recommended mar at leasr one type of pam be included along all me major <br />roadways in me Twin Lakes district. All paths should be designed as loops, <br />so char no pach results in a dad end, and me pam system should be <br />inte:grated and varied, so chat users have an opporruniry to take different <br />routes and to experience various environments. <br /> <br />Since the: uses in the: disuicr are primarily large: commercial, office, <br />office/showroom. and light indusuial developments. which implies a <br />rdativdy low level ofbicyclisclpc:destrian use, and in order to accommod.ue <br />bicyclists as well as pc:desuians, the: recommendation is to include: one <br />combination bicycle: cnilIwalkway along one side of all me major roadways, <br />consistent with the City's Master Trail Plan, which is currencly being <br />developed. Further, the recommendation is co construct an eight- to <br />ten-foot wide: bicwninous path and ooe~foot wide concrete edge bands on <br />each side for a more finished appearance: and easier maintenance. <br /> <br />3. Parkway Cross-Section. For the design of the Parlevny. three different <br />cross-sections (Figures 9 through 11) were evaluated. Although all three: <br />cross-sections are: shown with a 90-foot wide right-of-way, mere: might be: <br />options to reduce the: width of the: required public right-of-way, such as by <br />establishing c:a.sc:ments on adjoining properties for the path and boul~d <br />landscaping treatments or by reducing the widths of the boulevards. <br /> <br />a. Cross-Section Concept A Concept A represents a cwo-lane roadway <br />with a continuous left-turn lane. A combined bicycle craiIIw:illcway <br />would be: located on one side of the roadway and a wide boulevard <br />would be maintained on the ocher side, either for extra landscaping or <br />for a future walkway. <br /> <br />b. Cross-Section Concept B. Concc:pt B represents a true parkway <br />configuration with one-way traffic lanes on each side separated by a <br />landscaped median. The: landscaped median would be: reduced to a <br />concrete island at all median breaks and cross-streets. <br /> <br />c. Cross-Section Concept C. Concept C is similac to Concept B. except <br />chat it includa a wider median and it would haw' a narrower <br />boulevard on one side which would not permit the inscal1anon of a <br />future w:illcway, unless the landscaped boulevard is reduced in width. <br />This concept would permir landscaping in the me:dian cluoughout the <br /> <br />Twin lA.ka ParltwaJ Masur Plan <br /> <br />23 <br />
