Title:
Consider Recommending City Council Approval of Plans and Specifications for Sunwood Drive Striping Improvements, Improvement Project #17-04
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to consider recommending City Council approval of plans and specifications for Sunwood Drive Striping Improvements, Improvement Project #17-04.
Background:
The existing striping along Sunwood Drive between Armstrong Boulevard and Ramsey Boulevard is missing or faded in many areas, and some areas are not striped appropriately based on development that occurred since the street was originally striped. Staff therefore prepared plans for completing striping improvements along Sunwood Drive, Improvement Project #17-04.
Staff presented preliminary plans for these improvements to the Public Works Committee on April 18th. Based on feedback received from the Public Works Committee at that meeting, Staff has completed draft plans, which are attached.
In summary, the draft plans replace all existing center two-way turn lanes with dedicated left turn lanes based on existing access locations. Several dedicated right turn lanes were also added.
The plans incorporate dedicated left turn lanes for westbound driver’s to use to turn left into Casey's gas station and store, the west Residence at the COR driveway, and the new segment of Yolite Street to be constructed with the Stonebrook development.
Dedicated right turn lanes were also added along eastbound Sunwood Drive at Yolite Street and at Casey’s, as well as on westbound Sunwood Drive at Center Street.
