C. <br />LOMAX SCHOOL ROAD PEDESTRIAN PLAN <br />Report to City Council September 22, 2001 <br />Prepared By: Douglas K. Kneupper, P.E. — Director of Planning <br />Project Definition — This project can be defined as the extension of a pedestrian and <br />bicycle path from the northern terminus of Farrington Blvd., in the Glenmeadows <br />subdivision, to "L" Street. At "L" Street, this project would intersect an existing <br />pedestrian facility that has been created within the existing "L" Street pavement. <br />Project Recommendations - Between Glenmeadows and "H" Street, the new path <br />would curve around airport runway protection areas and align with Lomax School Road. <br />This area is fairly open and provides flexibility towards the design of a pedestrian <br />facility. Here, a four -foot wide facility and a six -foot wide facility are being presented <br />and are shown on an attached exhibit. The estimated costs associated with these facilities <br />are as follows. <br />SECTION 1 <br />Four -Foot Wide <br />TSix-Foot Wide <br />Estimated Costs <br />$15,000 <br />� $23,000 <br />Between "H" Street and "L" Street, the new path would follow Lomax School Road and <br />be four -foot wide. Here, two options are being presented and are shown on an attached <br />exhibit. The first would provide a new pedestrian facility adjacent to the existing <br />pavement. To provide safety for pedestrians, an intermittent, six-inch high curb barrier <br />would be constructed between the edge of the existing road surface and the new <br />pedestrian facility. <br />The second option would provide a new pedestrian facility away from the road area, <br />adjacent to the existing roadside ditch. No special safety measures would be required for <br />this location. However, it should be noted that this second option would require <br />additional right-of-way acquisition from individual property owners since the existing <br />right-of-way along Lomax School Road is limited to the outside edge of the ditch. The <br />estimated costs for these two options are as follows. <br />SECTION 2 <br />Adjacent to Road <br />Adjacent to Ditch <br />Estimated Costs <br />$32 000 <br />$20,000 <br />Exhibits - The attached exhibits demonstrate the alignment and cross -sections for all <br />pedestrian facility options discussed. <br />' Dues not include cost orright-ot=way acquisition <br />Lomax school Road Pedestrian Plan <br />11.1 <br />
