Future growth in the area creates the need for additional roadway capacity improvements, reduced vehicular speeds, safer access, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and intersection improvements. Multiple typical sections were developed with different lane widths, bike lane widths, and median configurations. Typical Section D was selected as the preferred option, since it provides the needed facilities while minimizing the needed right-of-way width. The location of the 4-Lane and 3-lane typical sections is shown in Figure 2. While the proposed typical sections were selected to minimize the needed ROW, they will require property acquisition in many areas since the existing available ROW is too narrow to accommodate improvements. As the road currently exists, the ROW is not wide enough to accommodate the standard clear zone width, even as a 2-lane facility with no median.
