Street Connectivity Study, Oakleigh Meadows PUD Page 3 <br />(e) New streets are designed to meet the deeds of pedestrians and cyclists and encourage <br />walking and bicycling as transportation modes. <br />No new streets are proposed. The Oakleigh Meadows P.U.D. site plan provides sidewalks <br />connecting to Oakleigh Lane and a bike/pedestrian path stubbed to the east property line for <br />future connection to the riverbank trail. The site plan also shows.an access lane that stubs to the <br />south boundary of the site should the property to the south redevelop. <br />The street circulation pattern provides connections to and from activity centers such <br />as schools, canmercial areas, parks, employment centers, and other major attractors. <br />There are a number of pedestrian/bike connections to the park land along the river on nearby <br />parallel streets. A future bike/pedestrian connection to the riverbank trail is provided. All <br />schools, commercial areas, employment centers, and other major attractors can be reached via <br />River Road. <br />(g) Street design is responsive to topography and other natural features and avoids or <br />minimizes impacts to water-related resources and wildlife corridors. <br />Tax lot 200 is flat and open with a line of trees along the east and south boundaries. The shadow <br />plat shows that the access to the flag lots avoids impact to natural features. <br />(h) Local circulation systems and land development patterns do not detract from the <br />efficiency of adjacent collector streets or arterial streets which are designed to <br />accommodate heavy traffic. <br />Oakleigh Meadows and the potential development of tax lot 200 will not change existing travel <br />patterns; all trips will use River Road. <br />(i) Streets identified as f tta•e transit routes should be designed to safely and efficiently <br />accommodate transit vehicles, thus encouraging the use ofpublic transit as a <br />t.ansportation mode. <br />Transit routes for the area exist on River Road. <br />Q) Where appropriate, the street system and its infrastructure should be utilized as an <br />opportunity to convey and treat storm water runoff. <br />The Oakleigh Meadows access lane and the access for tax lot 200 will be constructed to City <br />standards and provide appropriate storm water runoff. <br />Access Engineering LLC <br />August 6, 2013 <br />1441 <br />
