Please submit a revised study or justify that the current study is adequate. • Bike parking is indicated on the legend of both the site and • - landscape plan but is not shown on the plan. Please indicate where the bike parking will be located. • A sidewalk connection from walkway along College Avenue should be provided near the north end of the site as well as a connection from this site to the property to the north. This latter connection should be an extension of the walkway in front of the building. • .The walkway adjacent to the entry off of College Avenue should -"either 1) continue around the curb section to the parking lot or 2) cross the auto entr yway with a walkway to the landscape island then across the parking area to the building. Please indicate how _ potential pedestrian and automobile conflicts will be addressed. At a minimum, all pedestrian crossings of the parking area should be highlighted in someway to alert drivers of the possibility of pedestrians. • There is no walkway connection from the parking area on the west side of the building to the tenant entrances on the south and east sides. This connection should be provided so pedestrians are not forced into the parking/drive area. • The applicant should work with the property owner to the north to provide a walkway connection from their property to the applicant's property. A walkway should also be provided in the landscape island in the southwest corner of the applicant's property to provide. a pedestrian access to McDonald's. As before, all pedestrian crossings of the parking area should be highlighted in someway to alert drivers of the possibility of pedestrians. y= {Y c ' . _ ___ ..,„.., -2,..-_,,... -:.----,---.:- --,7--- ' ,,, . -''.'‘,‘..• '•r n :,''' :''':,??.....i'.I.. ,' ,,,:, ' ''',.,''.,-', .-.''
