The intent is to minimize the interaction between vehicles and pedestrians, and offer pedestrians a more protected and aesthetically pleasing route. These revised plans address the review comments and red -lines received from Staff. Please forward any final comments on the revisions to me as soon as possible. Sincerely, 51aU.CJ Kimberly Straw, 41CP Cityscape Urban Design, Inc. copy to: Rick Woodruff, The W. W. Reynolds Companies Mike Jones, Northern Engineering cumin@@P(A) urban design, inc. Landscape Plan. Maintenance will be the responsibility of the City upon acceptance of the improvements. Site Plan ■ All improvements planned for this development are shown on the plans. ■ The walk along Timberline is indicated as a 6 to 7 foot wide walk, with an 8-foot parkway. ■ Landscaping in the medians has been addressed on the Landscape Plan. ■ All engineering issues will be addressed by Northern Engineering. 5. Transportation Planning Department General comments/questions: ■ Pedestrian flow has been expanded in accordance with the red -lined plans and comments, where practical. Striped crosswalks have been added at the western access and at the intersection in the northwest corner. Also, see "Pedestrian and Vehicular Circulation" diagram on Sheet 2. • A "flush" crosswalk is a specifically designated pedestrian crossing that is not raised above the surrounding grades, but may have such enhancements as colored materials and/or be textured (i.e., stamped concrete). This was done on the access road to strengthen the primary pedestrian circulation system ■ The six-foot wide, on -street bicycle lane transitions into the existing lane configuration — see "Pedestrian and Vehicular Circulation" diagram on Sheet 2 and the Utility Plans prepared by Northern Engineering for more detailed plans. ■ The continuous north -south pedestrian connection between Rite -Aid and the carwash and convenience store is illustrated on the Pedestrian and Vehicular Circulation System diagram on Sheet 2. Red -line comments: • Striping has been added to crosswalks, where appropriate ■ An additional bike rack has been added at the eastern entrance. 6. Mapping/Drafting Department ■ All engineering and plat issues are being addressed by Northern Engineering. 7. Planning Division General comments/questions: • All pedestrian connections were reviewed for coordination with surrounding developments and appropriate revisions made. Red -line comments: • The bicycle lane transition along Timberline Road is now shown on the plans. Also, see the Utility Plans for more specific information regarding this issue • The walk along the access road will remain attached to provide consistency through the development. It was illustrated as attached throughout the preliminary approval process.
