Mark Culver, PE January 17, 2019 City of Roseville Page 11 We also considered installing a raised concrete median on the south side of Lydia Avenue in the median of Snelling Avenue. This would provide a pedestrian refuge, but we are concerned that it may encourage pedestrians to cross against the light or to decide to "stay" in the median. The traffic signals are timed to cross the entire street if the pedestrian button is activated. In the alternative, if it is desired to allow the WB to SB left turns to remain, the north median will need to be modified so that the EB to NB double lefts do not conflict with the WB to SB left turns. This would add to the cost of the project but would not be expected to exceed $10,000. We would further recommend the installation of a Leading Pedestrian Indication (LPI) for the Snelling Avenue crossing to allow the pedestrians to become more visible to left turning vehicles. Figure 9. Proposed Modifications at Lydia Avenue At County Road C2 (see Figure 10), the City of Roseville is in the process of designing the recommended geometric improvements that will eliminate the bottleneck at Lincoln Drive and provide for dual left -turns to accommodate the heavy left -tum demand to northbound Snelling Avenue. The traffic signal will also be modified to accommodate the left -tum modifications. We would recommend consideration of using a painted bulb on the east end of the median or increasing the width of roadway from 20' to 24' to allow 21anes of traffic movement.
