In 2013, the task force study envisions three road improvements: turn lanes for Shookstown Road at Bowers Road; and Shookstown Road at Kemp Lane; and a signal at Shookstown Road at Opossumtown Pike.
The total cost for those three is roughly estimated at $550,000, with the city’s share being about $198,030, Hahn said. [B’ Spokes note the lower then 50% match, I wounder why, do car only improvements get a better break then bike/ped?]
The task force took into consideration right of way, lane width, median, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, grass buffer and landscaping and speed.
The task force recommended for two-lane road corridors having in each direction a 5-foot-wide pedestrian path, a 5-foot strip to separate pedestrians from a 4-foot bicycle path; a 12-foot automobile lane; and an 18-foot median. In areas with four lanes of traffic, the bicycle path is removed.
Hahn said the next step will be a resolution adopting the study’s recommendations. They will then serve as guides for the corridor improvements.
