Proposed streetscape construction along Perimeter Summit Parkway (0.69 miles), Lake Hearn Drive (0.61 miles), and Parkside Place (0.27 miles) includes overall pedestrian access improvements that include the addition and/or renovation of sidewalks, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant facilities, street and pedestrian lighting, street furniture, landscape improvements including newllarger medians and islands, and restriping andlor addition of crosswalks. Lane widths will be narrowed on Lake Hearn Drive and Parkside Place for traffic calming and to accommodate the landscape and pedestrian improvements. Furthermore, the driveway for the Hilton Garden Inn hotel on the one way portion of Lake Hearn Drive will be modified to restrict exiting traffic to turning movements in one direction only. To promote bicycle usage, "share the road" signage will be added to all three alignments. In addition, Perimeter Summit Parkway will be restriped from two 12' travel lanes in each direction to an 11' inside travel lane and a 13' outside, bicycle friendly travel lane. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation improvements are proposed at the intersections of Perimeter Summit Parkway and Parkside Place, Lake Hearn Drive and Parkside Place, and Lake Hearn Drive at the Cox Enterprises, Inc. main entrance. Intersection improvements will consist of traffic signal upgrades to mast arm type installations at the intersections of Perimeter Summit Parkway and Parkside Place and Lake Hearn Drive and Parkside Place as well as pedestrian signalization improvements at Lake Hearn Drive at Perimeter Summit Parkway. The intersections of Lake Hearn Drive and Parkside Place and Lake Hearn Drive at the Cox Enterprises, Inc. driveway will be raised to help mitigate excessive vehicle speed along Lake Hearn Drive. Seating benches, single-trunk flowering trees, general landscaping, light poles, and trash receptacles are proposed along all streets and intersections within the project limits. Break-away light poles will be used in the event of vehicular accidents. Special brick paving will be used within the furniture zone to add aesthetic appeal and character.
