developer and only have a certain amount of bond money to construct the high school and
surrounding improvements. In order to reduce the cost for interim improvements to the
intersection, Tom suggested painted medians and pedestrian islands instead of raised median and
pedestrian refuges. John agreed that would be a better scenario, with PSD sharing the cost of
raised pedestrian refuge construction at the time HP develops the NE corner. Mark will check to
see if painted medians instead of raised medians would be acceptable for the interim condition.
Mark will also check to see if the City would pay for'/2 of the Rock Creek median as part of the
street over -sizing program.
Eric suggested that a median (either raised or painted) on Ziegler (south of the intersection)
could be designed with a 125-130' storage length, 140-150' bay taper, and 40:1 redirect taper.
Tom questioned Mark about the redline comment to have the NW PCR at the Cambridge/Private
Drive intersection be constructed with a 15' radius. Tom and John recalled that a 25' radius had
been agreed upon during a previous meeting. Mark agreed to allow a 25' radius.

SUBJECT: Ziegler Road & Rock Creek Drive
Intersection / Cambridge PCR
A meeting was held on July 19 at the CFC Transportation offices to discuss issues with the
Ziegler Road & Rock Creek Drive intersection, including a pedestrian refuge and improvements
north of the intersection. In addition, a redline comment regarding a curb return on Cambridge
Avenue and the High School Private Drive was clarified.
Tom began the meeting by raising concerns over impact to the new irrigation siphon in Rock
Creek Drive if the Ziegler Road width is expanded to accommodate a pedestrian refuge and an
additional northbound through lane. Eric stated that there should only be one northbound
through lane on the south side of the intersection, instead of the two requested during review.
Eric preferred that the two (future) southbound through lanes north of the intersection be
redirected prior to reaching the intersection. Therefore, north of the intersection, the two
southbound lanes would be configured as one through lane and one right turn only lane.
Accordingly, there should be one northbound through lane south of the intersection, and two
north of the intersection. Additionally, one of the southbound through lanes south of the
intersection could be dropped, as long as through lanes and turn lanes on one side of the
intersection line up with corresponding through and turn lanes on the other side.
Another issue raised was the concern over the length of improvements needed to the north of
Rock Creek Drive. In order to eliminate redirection of the northbound through lane across the
intersection, additional width is needed on the east side of Ziegler north of the intersection.
Redirection with a 50:1 taper would then occur north of the intersection. Eric stated that a 40:1
taper could be used, thus reducing the length of improvements.
Mark would like PSD to build a pedestrian refuge median island on Rock Creek Drive east of the
intersection, in addition to one on Ziegler south of the intersection. He said Hewlett-Packard
could reimburse PSD for their share of the cost when they develop the NE corner in the future.
John stated that would be very hard to get through the school board, since they aren't the typical
