Segment 1— Residential District; Rice St�eet to Lexington Avenue (2 miles) For the easterly two miles of the City, County Road B-2 is abutted mainly by low density residential homes. Two schools are located in this area as well; they are ConcordiaAcademy (SE comer of Dale and B-2) and Central Park Elementary School (1/4 east of Dale on the north side of B-2). Roseville Middle School is located in Little Canada about l/4 mile east of Rice Street. The street is approximately 32 feet wide, one lane in each direction with 4 foot shoulders. There is bituminous curb located at intersections and along side the street on hills. The traffic counts range from 4500 to 6400 ADT. The intersectionsof Lexington and Rice Street are controlled by street lights, while Victoria, Dale, and Western are all-way stops. There are drainage ditches and some catch basin structures located on both sides of the street. Many of the driveways have culverts to convey storm water. There are many areas where water sits in driveways and in the ditch system. On the south side of the street there are mailboxes, and power poles. Currentlythere are sidewalks located along Concordia Academy (114 mile long on the south side of the street at Dale) and along the businesses at the comer of Rice and B-2 (118 mile long, north side of the street). Also, there is a short segment of bituminous trail located between Central Park School and Cohansey Street on the north side of the street. Due to existing right- of- way, and impacts to existing properties in the corridor, we recommend that any facility be located along the north side of B-2 throughout the residential district. In the residential district, a majority of the hydrants are on the south side as well as the power poles, and mailboxes. There is drainage issues located on both sides of the street. There are slightly fewer driveways on the north side of the street. Special Considerations: • At Lexington, there are 3 homes along the south side of the street that are closer than 30 feet to the edge of the road. We also have very little right- of- way. • At Dale Street we have an opportunityto connect into Central Park on the north side by Central Park Elementary School. This would eliminate establishing a mid-block pedestrian crossing to connect to this amenity. � At Rice Street we have very little right- of- way on the south side of the street between Western and Rice. • The majority of County Road B-2 between Dale Street and Lexington has street grades that are less than 0.5%. This will limit our ability to utilize the street or pathway to convey drainage. County Road B-2 Trail Feasibility Report May 24,2004 ��
