PRIORITY

A

Marystown Rd north of 17th Ave E

Potential future project including trail on one or both sides, traffic calming, and roundabouts at major intersections

Install trail on both sides of Marystown Rd; implement plant ed boulevard and pedestrian scale lighting; follow pedestri an-friendly roundabout design best practice, pedestrian refuge splitter islands, high visibility crosswalk markings, and round about aprons to minimize vehicle speeds Minimize pedestrian crossing distances and corner radii; imple ment leading pedestrian interval Consider corridor-wide traffic calming measures; implement school speed zones as appropriate corridor-wide with flashing beacon and “WHEN FLASHING” signage; consider replacing RRFBs with pedestrian hybrid beacons; implement leading pedestrian intervals at signalized intersections Provide driver education around pedestrian crossings and required yielding

Create a new route for people walking and biking; reduce traf fic speeds; increase pedestrian and bicycle comfort and safety; improve driver yielding behavior

B

17th Ave E & Marystown Rd

Need to consider connection to Jackson from the west as devel opment occurs; long crossing distance; traffic volumes expected to increase as development occurs Concerns about traffic speeds and volumes; concerns about driver behavior including speeding and yielding; wide multi-lane roadway

Reduce pedestrian crossing distances; reduce driver turning speeds; improve driver yielding behavior

C

17th Ave E

Reduce traffic speeds; improve driver yielding behavior; in crease visibility between pedestrians and motorists
